A Californian through and through, but based in New York for most of her life, she took lessons from ceramics, design, Post-Minimalism, hard-edged abstraction and more, synthesising them into something wholly her own

You may know Chris Kraus for her 1997 epistolary novel I Love Dick and other cult classics, or for her experimental films and incisive cultural criticism. For the last two decades, she has also followed and written about the work of Shirley Tse and Dana Berman Duff, and after reading Kraus’s interview with the artists — who collaborate under the name “Relational” — it’s plain to see why their work had such a pull on the writer. Lunar power and tidal waves are among the elements of their video-photo-sculptural exhibition The Universe Breathes Us, a poetic manifesto on the ephemeral forces that carry us.Speaking of unseen energies, artist Lauren Farkas's whimsical maps trace Knoxville,...

contemporary ceramics meet rhodes’ layered history in bck 2026
 
The second Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) brings 42 artists from 18 countries into the Medieval City of Rhodes, Greece, placing today’s ceramic practices inside archaeological and historic sites across the UNESCO World Heritage city. Curated by Stamatia Dimitrakopoulou, Loukia Thomopoulou, and Anissa Touati, Where the Day Starts runs through October 31st, 2026, with works presented across the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, the Armoury de Milly, the Decorative Arts Collection of Rhodes, Our Lady of the Castle, and Kleovoulou Square at the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. The Biennale positions the architecture,...

Likely reassembled in modern times, the skull was returned by the Netherlands following a grassroots campaign; it will go on display at a community museum in Oaxaca

Architecture in Brazil this month highlights the country's diverse approaches to cultural production, heritage, and the transformation of its built environment. From the curatorial formation of the 15th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial to the recognition of Amazonia Theaters on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recent developments bring questions of representation, preservation, and cultural identity into focus. New projects in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Rondônia meanwhile explore adaptive reuse, relationships between architecture and landscape, and new approaches to materiality and sustainability. Alongside these developments, ongoing discussions surrounding Fordlândia and the archive of...

Upcycled Computer Hardware Forms a DIY CD Player
 
CD-ROM PLAYER 01 by das_POD is a DIY audio project that repurposes used computer CD-ROM drives as the basis for a functional CD player. The project combines upcycling, user assembly, and long-life product design, allowing each player to be built around a separately sourced drive and a laser-cut aluminum enclosure.
 
The project began with a DIY tutorial demonstrating how an old CD-ROM drive could be converted into a functional CD player. This approach led das_POD to explore a new interpretation based on the reuse of existing computer hardware instead of manufacturing a completely new CD mechanism. The sourcing process forms part of the project. Used CD-ROM...

The school buildings of the Bossard School are listed in the Canton of Zug's register of heritage sites worthy of protection. From an architectural-historical perspective, the school presents itself as a multifaceted complex that has grown together over several construction phases. With the replacement of the 'Mädchenhaus', the historic ensemble was expanded to include a new primary school building.

From 25 July to 25 October 2026, Shanghai's Power Station of Art (PSA) will host the first exhibition in China dedicated to the work of Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi. Titled "The Poetics of Survival," the exhibition was curated by Renato Anelli, and the display was designed by OPEN Architecture in a 2,300 m² space of the PSA contemporary art museum in Huangpu. The objective was to design "a stage where the audience gets a glimpse of the everyday reality of Brazil in Lina's time" through a journey across the architect's work and layered persona. The exhibition is not described as a retrospective, but as an "encounter with the master's poetics of survival," a late-20th-century concept describing how...

Nature-based solutions are a primary strategy for contemporary climate adaptation and urban ecological resilience, embraced by cities regardless of their geography or climate zone. Green roofs, urban forests, bioswales, expanding tree canopy, protected wetlands, and permeable landscapes are featured prominently in municipal adaptation plans. These interventions are deployed across neighborhoods, distributed through street networks, and measured by hectares restored, trees planted, stormwater retained, or temperatures reduced. This shift expands the role of ecology within cities, establishing environmental elements as infrastructure systems and providing planners with a grounded framework for integrating...

Rather than opening toward the street, the Inner Court House turns inward toward a central courtyard, bringing natural light, greenery, and airflow deep into the house to create a private living environment adapted to the climate of Phan Rang.

ASTON MARTIN VALEN PREVIEW BEFORE MONTEREY CAR WEEK 2026
 
During a preview at the British marque’s headquarters in Gaydon, UK, designboom examines the Aston Martin Valen prior to its public debut at The Quail during Monterey Car Week 2026. Members of the manufacturer’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) team presented the front-engined supercar, explaining how it serves as an experimental alter ego alongside other bespoke low-volume projects such as the Valour, Valiant, and DBR22. Constructed with a full carbon fiber body and engineered with custom 3D printing, the supercar demonstrates how Aston Martin’s bespoke division extends past external coachwork into technical novelties under the bonnet.

Kurosawa Kawara-ten renovates a timber tea room in Ichihara
 
In Ichihara, Chiba, Japan, Kurosawa Kawara-ten renovates a six-tatami tea room within an annex belonging to a former family timber business. The project retains traces of the building’s accumulated history while introducing new elements through a material and formal language that connects the existing structure with its garden setting. For generations, the property was associated with the family’s timber business. A small annex within the garden accommodates a tea room, storage space, and garage, with the six-tatami tea room renovated as a place for resting between farming and gardening activities and for receiving guests. The main house is a...

Summer and the streets are teeming with beautiful young people. In a shop window, I catch my reflection staring at me with contempt. I need a haircut but have no barber to go to. The last one talked too much about his prostate and made me look like the reincarnation of Saddam Hussein. I spot a pretty well-known artist walking towards me. We’ve met and emailed before, but we can’t really be called friends. We exchange side glances and notice each other, but make an unspoken agreement to keep walking anyway. In hindsight, I should've stopped to say hi. But it was a muggy day and it was hard enough to just exist. I put on my dark Ray-Bans to avoid any more awkward encounters. Speaking of Ray-Bans, you...

Digital artist Lily Belmira has created a free video game that recreates the environment of Michael Heizer’s monumental land art sculpture City, 1970–2022, in the Nevada desert. Belmira, who is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, wrote on her blog that she saw the act of creating the game as a “way to undermine its power.” Having taken over fifty years […]

A Picasso print stolen from a Milwaukee gallery in 2018 has miraculously resurfaced in a decrepit apartment in the same city, according to recent reports. The print, Torero (1949), was discovered during a landlord’s walkthrough of an apartment recently vacated via an eviction. Hoping to offset lost rent by flipping the property of the evicted […]

Whether on walls or in boxes, the frisky foxes of Annatomix’s murals and mixed-media sculptures bring vibrancy, playfulness, and just the right amount of cunning. The street artist is known for her vivid geometric animal murals evocative of origami, where planes of color and bold shadows make the animals pop from brick surfaces and wooden containers alike. “I am particularly fond of foxes because I find them so relatable,” the artist tells Colossal. “Sacred to some, vermin to others. Wrapped in mythology and misunderstanding. Fond of trash and screaming into the void.” Although the shapes are simplified, the artist summons animated expressions and dramatic movement. “Longbridge Foxes” (2023)...

When sculptor Shirley Tse was invited by her former student Anna Hrund Másdóttir to produce an original exhibition at her cooperative gallery Kling and Bang in Reykjavik, her first thought was to invite her friend and former teacher, the film and video maker Dana Berman Duff, to collaborate with her. Geography, landscape, desire and time are some of the interests these two artists shared. The result is an extraordinary manifestation of physical elements — breath, moon and tides — that bind us and the universe. Working under the name “Relational,” Tse and Berman Duff's exhibition The Universe Breathes Us was first staged at Kling and Bang in 2025, and again this summer at Shoshana Wayne Gallery...

With the help of a $2.5 million grant from the John S. and James L.

Designed by famed American architect Frank Furness, the building is currently part of the Village of Industry […]

Yoed and Natasha Anise’s first-ever art purchase unravelled after the artist’s estate allegedly decided they are not sufficiently serious collectors

“Anas was one of the journalists who ran into the line of fire,” reads a translated eulogy by independent journalist Doaa Shaheen about her late colleague, prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif, 28, who was killed alongside four other journalists on August 10, 2025, by a targeted Israeli strike on their media tent near al-Shifa Hospital. “He covered events as they unfolded because he believed the Palestinian narrative was worth this effort and exhaustion,” Shaheen's voice note continued. “Our stories are worth all this suffering. They deserve our presence on the front lines, documenting the truth.”Shaheen's oral eulogy is one of several devoted to al-Sharif on a new digital...

The sixth edition of the Frieze Seoul international art fair will move for its 2027 iteration from COEX exhibition center in Gangnam to the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), a cultural center in Seoul designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. Frieze Seoul has staged its annual operations at COEX for all five of its editions since 2022, […]

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — On the first Friday of each month, a dozen or more exhibitions open across galleries, studios, and temporary spaces in Knoxville. For many people in the small city’s art community, the night is either an overwhelming jumble or a repetitive routine. Artist Lauren Farkas’s maps offer a way through.“If everything is on the map, people get overwhelmed,” Farkas told Hyperallergic. “I put all the things that I would like to go to if I had enough time on the map.”Farkas, a high school art teacher at L&N STEM Academy who has lived in Knoxville for nine years, said that she considers her educational work to be “a long-form performance piece.” She approaches each map as an artwork...

Issues at the Terracotta Warriors Museum in Xi'an and the Zhejiang Museum have prompted the National Cultural Heritage Administration to put out a notice

Martin Clark has been appointed CEO and director of Towner Eastbourne, on the coast of southeast England. Clark joins the institution from Camden Art Centre, where he spent a decade as director. He will begin in his new role on January 27. While at Camden, Clark organized exhibitions of artists including Forrest Bess, Christodoulous Panayioutou, […]

In the introduction of a new book titled Great Women Photographers, Fiona Rogers writes, “If ‘greatness’ has long been defined by visibility and remembrance, then the continued documentation and celebration of women’s photographic practice is not only relevant but essential.” The forthcoming title spans a multitude of photographic works from 68 countries and covers nearly 200 years of history. It’s the fourth volume in Phaidon’s series of books commemorating influential women in the artistic sphere, with previous installments focusing on distinct creative mediums such as painting and sculpting.

From the collection of the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, which features a wealth of artwork and artifacts related to social justice and community organizing, a new exhibition highlights American democracy and freedom of speech through the lens of art as an agent of change. Turn the volume up! includes works by a diverse group of contemporary artists and photographers, from Spider Martin’s dramatic documentation of Freedom Marches during the Civil Rights Movement to Kara Walker’s multimedia interrogations of U.S. history and racial stereotypes. Visitors will also encounter works by the Guerilla Girls, Carrie Mae Weems, Kiki Smith, Bruce Davidson, and many more. Kara Walker, “Confederate...

Our oceans are places of mystery and biological wonders as much as they are essential to communities’ livelihoods. We tap these expansive bodies of water for recreation, food, transportation. From the Atlantic to the Arctic, oceans cover around 70 percent of the earth’s surface, and there is an incredible wealth of life yet to be discovered. As the continuing climate crisis melts ice caps and raises sea levels, and industrial fishing and waste threatens endangered marine animals and habitats, reminders of the oceans’ irreplaceable value and power are ever more critical. That’s where Oceanographic magazine and Blancpain’s annual Ocean Photographer of the Year contest comes in as a catalyst for...

“The wind is my nemesis!” says Jennifer Latour, and rightly so. In her sculptural assemblages, single flowers or small clusters of blooms sprout from tree branches or thick stems, appearing like otherworldly forms standing in the landscape. A soft breeze could topple the Vancouver-based artist’s ephemeral works, scattering their delicate petals and spindly shoots before she has the chance to snap a photo. These fleeting moments are preserved in Latour’s Bound Species series, which she began during lockdown by piecing together objects found around her home into unconventional, ikebana-style compositions. “During this time, I started having a recurring dream of giant flowers growing around me with...

Le sculture di Anna Maria Maiolino (Scalea, 1942) si accumulano. Si ammucchiano per ripetizione e sono costruite da gesti infiniti e dal tatto. Ma questi piccoli gesti quotidiani non sono solamente pratica artistica: visualizzano come la vulnerabilità e la sensibilità, il tatto e la cura, possono essere un atto di resistenza. La Galleria Ovale del Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) di Lisbona, Portogallo, racchiude queste sculture create con modalità ripetitiva. La mostra si intitola Poetic Earth. Alcune delle opere sono state realizzate decenni fa, altre sono state create in situ, proprio in questo spazio a forma di foglia.

Ci sono artisti la cui carriera coincide con una lunga ricerca e altri che, raggiunta una determinata soglia, sembrano aver trovato una lingua tanto riconoscibile da poter attraversare qualsiasi soggetto senza modificarne realmente la struttura. È una condizione rara, che appartiene a quei pochi autori il cui immaginario ha ormai assunto la forma di un universo autonomo, capace di assorbire temi, epoche e narrazioni mantenendo pressoché intatta la propria grammatica. Osservando Le Alchimiste, il mastodontico progetto concepito da Anselm Kiefer per la Sala delle Cariatidi di Palazzo Reale, a Milano, a cura di Gabriella Belli, la sensazione è proprio questa: non quella di assistere a una svolta, quanto...

La pittura contemporanea ha spesso trasformato il ritorno in una narrazione di recupero: un’interruzione superata, una perdita convertita in nuova possibilità. When the Sun Shines Again, la prima grande personale newyorkese di Guimi You presso Lehmann Maupin, usa questa struttura per metterla in crisi. La mostra osserva ciò che accade quando il gesto artistico emerge da periodi di sospensione, quando il fare pittura si intreccia con la cura, l’attesa e forme di vita che tradizionalmente rimangono fuori dalla storia della produzione.

Knokke Art Fair è una delle fiere d’arte più antiche al mondo e la più longeva tradizione internazionale sulla costa belga, un luogo speciale dove l’arte emoziona, giovani e anziani, curiosi ed esperti. Che sia ammirata tra le solenni mura di un luogo deputato o all’aria aperta (con una scultura site-specific), l’arte suscita emozioni, stimola la riflessione e invita al dialogo.

Fino al 30 novembre 2026 il Parco Archeologico di Pompei ospita la mostra Philip Colbert in Pompeii: Pop Mythology. La mostra, curata da Cesare Biasini Selvaggi, espone oltre trenta sculture monumentali dell’artista britannico tra le quali protagonista assoluto è l’astice antropomorfo, alter ego dell’artista e ormai suo marchio riconoscibile.

Le opere di Colbert sono progettate per risultare subito leggibili e perfettamente compatibili con le aspettative della comunicazione social. Molti lavori si distinguono per l’uso di colori saturi, monumentalità, ironia pop e kitsch con citazioni della classicità ridotte a segni facilmente riconoscibili e nel...

By Betty Ann Brown "The idea becomes a machine that makes the art."—Sol LeWitt Dean De Cocker creates richly conceived, exquisitely crafted, and visually delightful artworks that shuttle between abstraction and conceptual representation. He has long been drawn to machines, from bicycles to motorcycles, cars to airplanes, and formal echoes of these devices appear in his current body of work, exhibited at the Visual Arts Center in the small Central California town of Visalia. Welcome to the...

Skeletons, tombstones, and serpents. These are just a few of the iconic images pre-v ailing throughout the works of Morgan Sorensen—all relating to the themes of struggle, sadness, pain, and death. While anyone might agree that these graphic designs would all make for killer band T’s, there’s quite a bit of depth surrounding the artist’s […]

The body is an obsession for Monica Piloni. Whether it’s a hollowed face in the Samieses series or the eerie dolls depicted in “Ilegais”, a majority of Monica Piloni’s sculptures confront the human form. And while consistently returning to the body may seem confining to some, it’s a pursuit marked by liberation for the Brazilian […]

This article originally appeared in Hi-Fructose issue 42, which is sold out. See Matthew Grabelsky’s new solo show at Thinkspace gallery here.  Matthew Grabelsky had studied tradition in Florence, lived in the cultural nuclei of Europe, but hadn’t yet found the idea that would set him apart as an artist living in the twenty-first century.

By Victoria Thomas Photographer and ceramic artist Catherine (Cathy) Opie first shocked and rocked the fine art world with her self-portraits during the late 1990s. Today, her decades of work — often termed confessional — now serve as context for the far more enigmatic Holding Blue installation, on view at Regen Projects through July 3. The Los Angeles-based artist identifies as a leather dyke, lesbian cowboy, an elder, and as "Mama Cathy," with a mustachioed male alter-ego named Bo. Opie is...

“Danger” is a word often associated with the candy-colored work of Los Angeles artist Kristen Liu-Wong. Her feminine tableaus, often rendered in a bright blend of acrylics, paint pen, and marker, have particularly veered into more menacing territory in recent years. “The world is a dangerous place,” Liu-Wong says, in a June interview. “I don’t […]

On paper, Nathan Reidt’s creatures sometimes reveal themselves through a fog of graphite. He may begin with a “vague, circle-y shape” and shade areas. “Then I just stare at it for a long time and wait for something to pop out and refine that a little and stare at it.” The Philadelphia-based artist explains by […]

By Betty Ann Brown "Beauty comes from the balance between two and three dimensions, between abstraction and representation — I seek the equilibrium behind changing appearances."—Henri Matisse Jill sykes by Eric Minh Swenson Jill Sykes creates beautiful paintings of botanical phenomena. Like Matisse, she translates three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional images, occupying the territory between abstraction and representation to achieve balance and equilibrium. From a very early age,...

By Victoria Thomas There's something about a hanging. Whether legal or not, the visual experience seems mythic, supernatural, theatrical, and ritualistic, versus the efficiency of a swift kill. If local authorities greenlight the killing, it's called a hanging. If they don't, the hanging is extrajudicial, and it's called a lynching. Anyone with even the scantiest grasp of American history will know that our country has a sordid romance with lynching — a romance which persists. And unless...

It is credited with ‘democratising photography’ on a global level – and now Shutter Hub is making its most democratic move yet. 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’. It’s a typically altruistic move from the social entrepreneur: also the founder of Toiletries Amnesty, the award-winning NGO. She was made an MBE in 2024 for services to people living in hygiene...

The City Series by Shutter Hub is an ongoing publishing project exploring the people, places, cultures, and contradictions that shape cities around the world. Rather than documenting a location as a fixed subject, the series invites photographers to respond to a city as an idea: something experienced, observed, imagined, and interpreted through the photographic eye.
For its second edition, we turn our attention to London in partnership with Battersea Power Supplies, a new museum and gift shop celebrating Battersea Power Station. We invite photographers from across the globe to contribute to a major publication celebrating one of the world’s most photographed, complex, and ever-changing cities. We want to see...

Photographer Chester Higgins has spent more than six decades creating images that honor the presence, history, and achievements of people of African descent. Raised in rural southern Alabama during the height of the Civil Rights movement, he discovered photography as a student at Tuskegee University, a path that would eventually lead to a nearly forty-year career as a photographer for The New York Times. Chester Higgins: Shared Memories, an exhibition spanning six decades of his work, is on view at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York through June 20, 2026. We spoke with him about what it means to respect your subject and tell their story in a way that is ‘unique, embracing, and nonjudgmental.’ Do you...

Jain Temple in cave 32 at Ellora, 9th century CE Dr. David S. Efurd, a two-time Fulbright recipient, associate professor, and chair of art and art history, has spent decades documenting the Buddhist cave sites of western India. Armed with a notebook and a handheld camera, he has visited more than 80 caves and captured over 10,000 photographs, which are now available through Artstor. This extraordinary archive reveals remarkably preserved monasteries carved directly into volcanic basalt cliff faces, along with religious art, monuments, architectural details, and sacred spaces dating back to the second century BC. Efurd’s work is grounded in the practice of “slow looking,” in which he spends days closely...

©Jon McCormack ©Jon McCormack Patterns: Art of the Natural World, published by Damiani and released to coincide with Earth Day (April 22, 2026), is a striking photobook by Australian photographer and conservationist Jon McCormack. The project emerged from a pivotal shift in McCormack’s practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel restrictions confined him to a single location and, in turn, fostered a slower, more attentive way of seeing. “Repetition removed distraction. Because I wasn’t constantly moving on to a new destination, I could no longer rely on the excitement of elsewhere. I had to let the subject reveal itself more slowly,” he reflects. The result is a body of work unified by...

In the forest nothing stands still. Time layered through thoughts and feelings, leaves kicked and crunched as we walk. The trees talk to each other, sending mycelium messages, carbon gifts, and warnings of drought or illness. From ancient wisdom to popular culture, it’s all here.
If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound? Of course it did. And if Jo Stapleton was there to capture the moment, there would be a visual symphony of light, shape and form to follow.
Published by Shutter Hub Editions, this beautiful collection of 100 images by Jo Stapleton is an expressionist photographic account of her interactions with trees, forest and woodland, later remembered and...

 
There’s just two weeks left to submit your work for The City Series: Cambridge!
An ongoing series of publications, The City Series sets out to explore the people, places, and cultures that shape cities around the world, showcasing images that respond to a place not as a fixed subject, but as an idea shaped by experience, observation, and interpretation.
The inaugural volume explores a city that has welcomed us, and been home to nearly a dozen Shutter Hub exhibitions – Cambridge.
Rather than defining Cambridge by landmarks or narratives, we invite photographers to approach the city openly, perhaps through people, atmosphere, details, routines, abstractions, or moments that feel personal or unexpected....
