Whether it’s the atmosphere casting a haze or the fuzziness of memories and dreams, Guimi You’s lush paintings have an aura of wistfulness and quietude. The Seoul-based artist creates dreamy oil compositions that tap into personal experience, passing time, and how one gains perspective and reevaluates their needs or desires as they go through life. You’s canvases are infused with elements of still life and landscape traditions, where anonymous protagonists reflect quietly in a garden, pause in a golden meadow, or stroll through a park in the rain. Cerulean shadows complement the magenta jacket of a woman strolling with her dog along a stream in “Spring Walk,” and a woman sits down at an easel in an...

new Tencent campus by mad floats over Shenzhen
 
Along a reclaimed coastline in Shenzhen, MAD’s Tengyun Center rises above the shore as three cloud-like office volumes held 8.6 meters (30 feet) in the air. Designed for Tencent’s headquarters campus in China, the building complex opens the ground below as public coastal space where visitors can move beneath the workplace toward the water.
 
The gesture gives the project its point, as corporate campuses often build their own internal worlds, with landscape and amenities kept behind a controlled edge. Here, MAD lifts the main mass onto ten structural cores, freeing the land below as a shaded field of paths, lawns, planted slopes, and views of the sea.

Getty Images and Shutterstock, two of the top photo, video, and stock image marketplaces, called off a $3.7 billion merger after hitting a regulatory roadblock in the United Kingdom. Getty, led by CEO Craig Peters, said on Tuesday that its board of directors unanimously decided to scuttle the deal to merge with its rival after the top regulator in the U.K., the Competition and Markets Authority, required the sale of Shutterstock’s editorial business. Getty’s board viewed that requirement as an apparent non-starter, per a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday. The board also stated it intends to hire a financial advisor to assess “strategic financing alternatives...

Investigators from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office seized dozens of ancient artifacts from the Metropolitan Museum in June, reports the New York Times. According to an inventory produced by the office, this brings the total number of artifacts it has removed from the Met since 2017 to more than 120, collectively worth more than $95 million. The removals have followed on the office’s investigations into the work of the international smuggling rings (and their stateside collaborators) who dominated the global antiquities market after WWII. In the process of identifying potentially illicit artifacts, they subpoenaed records on objects acquired by the museum from dealers suspected of ties to...

Stand in any forest and look up, and it’s hard not to be mesmerized by the swaying of tall trees and their elegant canopies casting shade onto the woodland floor. But imagine being an ant or beetle and peering up at the stems of wild geraniums, garlic, or buttercups and experiencing the same sensation. For photographer Theo Bosboom, this ground-level view of flowers and plants gave rise to a series that captures them in the way we might photograph a grove of towering, ancient sequoias. Traversing local landscapes around his home in the Netherlands and sometimes venturing across the border into Germany or Belgium, Bosboom explores forests, dunes, public parks, roadside verges, and virtually any place that...

silicone sleeve gives bottles a second function for pet owners
 
A minimalist silicone accessory is rethinking how pet owners carry water for their dogs. Designed to slip around the base of a reusable bottle, the flexible sleeve unfolds into a drinking bowl whenever needed, eliminating the need to pack a separate dish. The compact attachment remains wrapped around the bottle during transport before flipping outward to create a stable basin for pets to drink from.

What makes Phillip Guston great? In the words of Hyperallergic critic John Yau, it’s his “refusal to separate himself from the crumbling world he dwells in.” The late artist’s current exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in New York, featuring drawings and paintings spanning the mid-’60s and ’70s, brings to light lesser-known sides of his practice, such as the influence of poetry and the immense contributions of his wife, the poet Musa McKim. In news, unionized workers at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan have voted to authorize a strike as contract negotiations enter their sixth month, with the shock and pain of last year’s layoffs still fresh.Also today: Scholar Sarah Bond on human DNA in cave art,...

The 25-meter-wide building remains defined by its patterned brick facade, terra-cotta rosettes, carved stone cornice, and cast-iron columns crowned with stylized flame motifs that reference its original function. Engine Company No. 55 operated from the address until 1982 before the property...

As of this month, the organisation will pass into the control of the community it was built for, in what founder Karen Harvey MBE describes as ‘a logical next step: to make things more equitable we need multiple perspectives.’ The announcement follows Karen’s decision to remove paid memberships last year, making Shutter Hub ‘fully open-access and available at no cost to all’.

Un corpo cammina. Attraversa quindici paesi, consuma le suole, accumula polvere e incontri. Quando questo corpo entra in un’istituzione, come Punta della Dogana, Pinault Collection, emblema del meccanismo dell’arte internazionale, qualcosa nel sistema si inceppa. Algebra è costruita su questo inceppamento. Il corpus di Paulo Nazareth non disgiunge esperienza e produzione: il cammino è già opera, l’incontro è già forma. Migrazione, diaspora, confine e memoria non sono temi da rappresentare, sono i presupposti operativi entro cui l’indagine emerge. Ogni immagine, oggetto o documento nasce da un sentiero e conserva la tensione tra vissuto e diffusione.

Philip Guston loved poets. In 1968, after he and his wife, the artist and poet Musa McKim, and their teenage daughter moved to Woodstock, New York, he began to radically shift his work from abstraction to a cartoonish world of people and things. This change coincided with his beginning to collaborate with a close circle of poet friends, particularly Clark Coolidge, who lived nearby. From then until his death in 1980, he did drawings for many poems, including ones by Coolidge, Bill Berkson, and William Corbett, and also gave drawings to illustrate covers of inexpensively printed little magazines and poetry books published on a mimeograph machine. His generosity to poets was unmatched by other artists. With few...

One designated site will be familiar to art history students: Black Mountain College’s Studies Building in North Carolina, where a remarkable roster of American luminaries in visual art, music, design, and performance studied and taught.

What can the pigments of Paleolithic cave paintings tell us about the artists who painted them? Deep in the ancient caves of Spain and Portugal, scientists have discovered evidence of ancient human DNA on cave walls. The find proves for the first time that DNA can survive for millennia within the paint applied to rock walls, opening a future pathway to recovering the identities of ancient artists from thousands of years ago. A new study published in the journal Nature Communications on June 23 examines ancient DNA preserved within pigment samples extracted from 24 rock art panels within 11 caves across Spain and Portugal. The team, led by Alba Bossoms Mesa, is largely from the Max Planck Institute for...

Self-taught German conceptual artist Rune Mields died on June 27 in Cologne, Germany, at the age of 91. Her death was first reported by the German Press Agency. Born in Münster in 1935, Mields came to art-making in her 30s after completing an apprenticeship as a bookseller. She first gained attention for her “Röhrenbilder” (Pipe Paintings) of the late 1960s and early ’70s, large-format monochrome canvases featuring hyperreal renderings of three-dimensional geometric forms. “To understand life,” she told the German art and culture magazine Monopol in 2025, “you have to understand mathematics. It describes the fundamental principles of the world.” By the 1970s, following a move to Cologne,...

The photograph, which is taken with visible light, allows scientists to pinpoint exoplanets and measure their...

Mark Rothko is known for his “color field” paintings, a genre that was coined in the 1950s to describe his work specifically, along with peers like Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still. These works are generally characterized by their total abstraction and emphasis on clearly delineated areas, or “fields,” of different hues. One might also think of Josef Albers’ seminal series titled Homage to the Square, which delved into the virtually infinite relationships between colors. For Rothko, canvases were often very large, measuring upwards of 10 feet. The works inside the Rothko Chapel in Houston, for example, are architectonic, commanding the viewer’s complete attention and inviting us to slow down and...

In selvicoltura uno snag è un albero morto che resta in piedi: un organismo cessato e tuttavia non ancora restituito al suolo, più una soglia che un cadavere. Non è un residuo inerte, ma un ecosistema in attività, cavo abitabile per uccelli, insetti, pipistrelli, funghi, licheni – vivo di una vitalità che non è più la propria. È da questa figura sospesa che muove Old Snag, prima personale dell’artista norvegese Ingeborg Tysse (Stavanger, 1992) negli spazi di Société Interludio, a Cambiano (Torino), accompagnata da un testo critico di Caterina Avataneo.

In the Peruvian Amazon, the Shipibo-Konibo people (sometimes also spelled Shipibo-Conibo) have made their home around the verdant Ucayali River basin for millennia. Their visual culture is richly informed by their belief systems and the environment in which they live, where foraged clay, wild cotton, and plants used to make pigments have sustained a steadfast artistic tradition known as Kené. The exhibition Akinananti at White Cube illuminates the work of artist Sara Flores, whose meticulous patterns rendered with organic, handmade inks continue an ancient Indigenous tradition. The gallery says, “In the Shipibo language, ‘Akinananti’ describes work done together with love and joy—a practice and...

Può l’arte curare le cicatrici invisibili di una comunità? Nella mostra Le ferite di Bologna, curata a Villa delle Rose da Ludovico Pratesi, Marco Bassan e Chiara Lorenzetti (Spazio Taverna) per il Settore Musei Civici del Comune di Bologna, dieci artisti italiani di diverse generazioni affrontano altrettanti traumi cruciali della storia bolognese. L’esposizione si configura come un viaggio analitico e catartico attraverso dieci traumi storici che hanno segnato la coscienza civile della città, in cui ogni artista è stato invitato a confrontarsi con una specifica “ferita” cittadina operando su un unico, identico supporto: un foglio di carta artigianale Amatruda. La texture materica della carta si fa...
