lima house: A Horizontal dwelling in a Chilean Valley
 
Pezo von Ellrichshausen‘s newly built LIMA House stands in a rural valley of central Chile among an expanse of open farmland edged by vineyards and rocky hills. Its presence is defined by a single horizontal piece raised above the ground, a minimalist line set against a broad, rocky landscape.
 
The home‘s plan stretches across the site with measured restraint. At its center is a narrow courtyard aligned with sunrise and sunset. A long swimming pool occupies this void, drawing reflected light through the surrounding rooms and introducing a quiet shimmer that changes through the day.

Martin Parr, a photographer known for pictures of tourists that were both genuinely curious explorations of their lifestyle and wry indictments of it, has died on December 6 at his home in Bristol, England. His death was announced on Sunday by the namesake foundation that he founded in Bristol in 2017. Though the foundation did not specify a cause, Parr was diagnosed with myeloma, a form of bone marrow cancer, in 2021. The Guardian reported this year that he was in remission, but that he was still taking chemotherapy tablets. “The Martin Parr Foundation and Magnum Photos will work together to preserve and share Martin’s legacy,” the foundation said in a statement. “More information on this will follow...

besley & spresser rethink Asbestos and the damage it left behind
 
At the Lisbon Triennale 2025, Besley & Spresser present a material provocation disguised as an architectural installation that begins with a disarming question from Peter Besley. ‘What if one of the building industry’s most hazardous materials could become one of its most promising?’ Together with co-founder Jessica Spresser, the studio reframes asbestos as a mineral whose future might diverge radically from its past. Their project, REDUX, built within the Palácio Sinel de Cordes, showcases carbon-negative materials derived from asbestos waste, developed with Rotterdam-based material scientists Asbeter and ceramicist Benedetta...

Togo Photo Festival 2025 has arrived. Founded and directed by Ako Atikossie and Giulia Brivio, its goal is to provide international visibility and create new opportunities for emerging photographers from Togo and West Africa. “For centuries, the representation of Africa has been filtered through a colonial lens that turned the other into an object, stripping it of its voice,” they explain. “Today, a new generation of African curators, artists and thinkers has overturned that perspective, restoring photography to the centre of an autonomous language capable of influencing the worlds of contemporary art, fashion and architecture.” Here, photography is not just a tool to document reality, but it has the...

Nico Tangara Transforms Vintage Phone into AI-Powered Device
 
Designer Nico Tangara continues his ongoing exploration of analog-digital integration with a project that transforms a vintage rotary telephone into a multifunctional device combining a music player and an AI-based voice interface. The design maintains the rotary dial as the primary input system, repurposing its mechanical pulse signals for contemporary digital commands.
 
The project began with the restoration of an original rotary phone. Most internal components were preserved, while elements incompatible with low-voltage digital hardware, such as the high-voltage bell mechanism, were removed. Corroded wiring was replaced to ensure stable...

MIAMI BEACH — For the third year in a row, a coalition of Miami artists and activists met at City Hall near the Miami Beach Convention Center today, December 6, on the busy Saturday of Art Basel to raise their voices and handmade signs in protest of the event’s ties to the genocide in Gaza. This time, the advocacy group Artists 4 Artists also joined the action to call for a boycott of the next edition of the fair in 2026, citing the event's impact on both the environment and the local arts community. After being relocated from the front of the Convention Center last year by dozens of Miami Beach police officers, several of the organizers are involved in ongoing litigation with the city of Miami Beach...

At 54, Nancy Popp is visioning for their long-term project 'under°veloped'. They're thinking more deeply about long term histories, legacies and larger structural fundamentals. If their work didn't change it wouldn't be authentic to the changes in their self and life. They don't see much change after turning 50 to what they were doing in their late 40s, but there is a difference to what they were doing in their 30s physically. What's actually hard about being an artist at this point?  Time...

One of the top comments on a new video from the Victoria and Albert Museum reads as follows: “I think it is time to have a renaissance of mourning. In this age of sanitized and hidden grief, it would be a welcomed relief for a more refined mourning experience.” This commenter is responding to two V&A curators unboxing a collection of 19th-century objects common in Victorian mourning traditions. Through a variety of garments, ephemera, and photos, the pair showcases the elaborate rituals and rites people once used to honor the dead. The video highlights a black, silk gown with tiny pleats, delicate lace, and sequins, along with jewelry made from semi-precious jet stones, and brooches containing human hair....

Floating Pavilion Reconfigures Rijeka’s Waterfront Public Space
 
PlivaTri is a floating triangular pavilion installed off the coast of Rijeka, Croatia, as part of the MEDS Design Workshop 2025. Conceived as a public structure addressing the limited availability of comfortable beachfront space, the pavilion forms a geometric intervention within the Adriatic landscape. Its triangular plan incorporates an open central void and a perimeter walkway that supports activities such as swimming, resting, and small-scale gatherings. The pavilion’s form produces a defined relationship between water, city, and port, framing views and creating varied spatial conditions depending on movement, light, and...

buildings by Frank gehry that shifted the world
 
With the death of Frank Gehry at 96, we are revisiting some of his most iconic buildings that reshaped cities, reoriented cultural institutions, and redefined what architecture could look and feel like. Across more than six decades, the legendary architect created works that fused sculptural ambition with technical innovation, pushing the boundaries of form, material, and emotion. Below, a closer look at a selection of the projects that most clearly express his influence.

This month’s theme – “Opera singers celebrate the holidays” – conjured up a vast lexicon of memories of growing up in the 1960s and early 1970s.

Market, market, market. That's all we've been hearing about lately. First it was the November evening sales in New York, and this week it was the Miami fairs. Here at Hyperallergic, we cover these events critically and keep in mind that there are other, more important things happening in the art community. It so happens that our Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia is a Miami native who knows the city beyond this once-a-year escapade for art worlders. She was there this week to cut through the BS and see through gimmicks ranging from a revolving library on the beach to Beeple's robodogs of famous men. I recommend reading her stinging commentary: Visitors photograph Beeple's "Regular Animals"...

There’s a rare circle of artists that exists within photography: those whose creative genius came to light posthumously. Their images, once overlooked, misunderstood or simply hidden from public view, now serve as a touchstone for the medium. Perhaps the most famous example is Vivian Maier, whose New York street photography caught the world’s attention in 2013, four years after her death and six years after storage locker sales in Chicago unearthed thousands of her photos and negatives. Another is Francesca Woodman, whose black-and-white portraits of herself and female models gained critical acclaim after her premature death at 22. Now, joining that list is Herbert Smith, who passed away in 1987, leaving...

In occasione della tappa genovese della compagnia Nanou, abbiamo incontrato Marco Valerio Amico negli spazi del Teatro Akropolis, poche ore prima che Arsura e Specie di spazi andassero in scena nell’ambito della rassegna Testimonianze Ricerca Azioni. Il cofondatore del Gruppo Nanou ha condiviso visioni, processi e motivazioni che attraversano il lavoro della compagnia e ne definiscono l’identità. Anche in Arsura si ritrovano gli snodi principali da cui transita la poetica dei Nanou. Una poetica che evoca, piuttosto che rappresentare, mondi interiori e sensoriali, usando corpo, spazio, suono e astrazione per creare un’esperienza che sfugge a schemi definiti e apre nuove visioni. Il corpo per loro è...

Frank Gehry, one of the world’s most celebrated architects and a towering intellect whose designs transformed the cities they inhabited, died on Friday, December 5, at the age of 96. The Pritzker Prize-winning architect suffered a respiratory illness before his death at his home in Santa Monica, California, his chief of staff told the New York Times.A monumental figure who demystified modern architecture and an early adopter of computer-driven design, Gehry became beloved for his luminescent, curvilinear structures that appeared to defy gravity. His postmodern designs of museums, concert halls, and libraries have become destinations for tourists as much as the venues themselves. His most revered...

It’s been two years since I last made the trek to Miami Beach in December. Despite the Miami edition of Art Basel being the only art fair to carry a scarlet letter for being “as much about the parties as the art,” it remains the most important fair in the US. And, if we’re being honest, every fair week—from Paris to Los Angeles to Hong Kong—is packed with events and openings, dinners, parties, and after-parties. You can’t make it to everything, especially in Miami. But for you, dear reader, I tried. My week kicked off Monday night, when I touched down at Miami International at 9:30pm—just a half hour delayed. Untitled Art was throwing its party for exhibitors at The Moore, a private social...

The city of Detroit has a new public artwork, one that memorializes the lead character in a cult classic film set in the city—nearly four decades after the film was released and some 15 years after the statue was first proposed. The bronze statue of RoboCop measures over 11 feet high and weighs in at some 3,500 pounds.  Directed by Paul Verhoeven, the ultra-violent satire RoboCop (1987) stars Peter Weller as police officer Alex Murphy, who, in a near-future, crime-ridden Motor City, is killed by a criminal gang. He is then revived by sinister megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as a crime-fighting cyborg and unwitting ambassador for its plan to privatize the police force. As he struggles to regain his...

Frank Gehry, an award-winning architect whose designs for museums proved widely influential, died on Friday in Santa Monica, California, at 96. According to the New York Times, which first reported the news, the cause was a brief respiratory illness. More so than perhaps any other architect of the past half-century, Gehry defined the field of museum architecture. His designs, often composed of sloping, incongruous forms, helped move art institutions in a new direction, showing that they need not only be set in Neoclassical pantheons or hard-edged modernist structures. The most famous of his museum buildings was for the Guggenheim Bilbao, the Spanish museum opened in 1997 in a city that was economically...

Archaeologists digging beneath the 19th-century Palace of Westminster, home to the United Kingdom's Parliament, unearthed scores of artifacts dating back 6,000 years, the Houses of Parliament Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority announced last month. As part of a three-year investigation that will inform upcoming restoration work, archaeologists discovered 60 flint flakes they believe were used as tools around 4,300 BCE during the Mesolithic or early Neolithic period. The archaeologists also uncovered additional items, including 800-year-old footwear and a 19th-century beer jug. The group noted that the flint artifacts predate Stonehenge's earliest earthworks by 1,000 years. At Stonehenge,...

The two-year MFA in Design at the University of California, Davis encourages interdisciplinary, research-driven work from students who have access to the extensive resources of a top-tier public university.

Students engage with leading designers and scholars through events such as the Alberini Family Lecture Series and the Research in Design Lecture Series, and they receive mentorship and funding to present work at major...

After six days of dedicated surveillance, New Zealand authorities have recovered a diamond-encrusted Fabergé egg from a thief accused of swallowing it.  The 32-year-old man allegedly picked up the egg at Auckland’s Partridge Jewellers and ingested it late last week. The heist was swiftly foiled, as police arrived within minutes of the staff’s report and detained the suspect. “Police can confirm the pendant was recovered,” a police statement said Friday. “It is now in police custody,”  A police officer was assigned to watch over the man while waiting for nature to deliver the pendant back to its owner—and the suspect, in due course, to justice. The special-edition locket, valued at $33,585, was...

Gold plaque with an image of a tiger's head and foreleg ORENBURG, RUSSIA—According to the Greek Reporter, the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) announced the discovery of a remarkable and unparalleled sacrificial complex in the Orenburg region of the Southern Urals. A team from the RAS’ Institute of Archaeology unearthed the site while working at the Vysokaya Mogila–Studenikin Mar necropolis, which contains a group of monumental kurgans built by the nomadic Flippovka Culture. The find was not made within one of the burial mounds however, but in an interspace area near one of the tallest kurgans. The archaeologists uncovered a sacrificial pit containing hundreds of objects, including decorative bridle...

Prehistoric flint flakes LONDON, ENGLAND—Famous today for housing England’s Houses of Parliament, archaeological excavations beneath London’s Palace of Westminster have revealed over 6,000 years of the site’s history, according to statement released by the Houses of Parliament Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority. The work, which is part of a preliminary investigation in advance of planned renovations, is being carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology. The oldest material, consisting of 60 flint flakes, dates to around 4300 b.c., when the area was part of Thorney Island, a spot where late Mesolithic and early Neolithic communities fished, hunted, and gathered food. Other notable finds...

James Lipnickas has used horror tropes for a long time. But his works were once much more linear. That used to mean monsters, aliens, and isolated landscapes that had something haunted about them. A giant worm pouring its effluence into a cabin. A force within exploding the cabin.
The horror has changed. Click above to read the full article.

ATHENS, GREECE—Traces of a fortified settlement and a cemetery containing about 40 graves dating to approximately 800 to 323 B.C. are being investigated in east-central Greece by Maria Papageorgiou of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Phthiotis and Evrytania and her colleagues, Live Science reports. One of the burials contained the remains of a woman who died between the ages of 20 and 30 in the second half of the seventh century B.C., a time known for social and political changes before the founding of Athenian democracy in the early sixth century B.C. Dubbed “The Lady with the Inverted Diadem,” she was interred with a bronze crown that had been placed upside down on her head, perhaps to mark the end of...

A glowing globe, food, slavery, a maze and an explosion.

Located in the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou is enmeshed in waterways. The city’s center abuts a large lake and sits just north of the Qiantang River, infamous for its magnificent tidal bore that sweeps through the region each fall. For their latest project presented in the Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art at Zhejiang Art Museum, Jin Choi and Thomas Shine merged aspects of this local environment and culture with their distinctive process. The artists, who work as Choi + Shine Architects, often create sweeping lace isntallations crocheted in partnership with local communities. Choi typically designs the motif, while Shine focuses on the structure itself. Suspended above reflective surface mimicking a dark body...

At the intersection of art, technology and the political imagination, Hito Steyerl’s latest exhibition, The Island, opens at Fondazione Prada’s Osservatorio in Milan as a meditation on the fluidity of time, space and knowledge. In a world simultaneously inundated by digital images and threatened by rising seas, Steyerl interrogates the structures through which we perceive reality. Her work situates itself in the uneasy spaces where scientific discovery, historical trauma and cultural myth converge, posing questions that are urgent, unsettling and deeply resonant. The Island is not merely a presentation of objects or images; it is an ecosystem of ideas that operates as much in conceptual registers as in...

Our collaboration with MPB, the UK’s leading camera reseller, has explored the deep relationships that filmmakers form with their equipment. MPB: The Next Shot set out to celebrate how cameras move beyond their function, becoming catalysts for ideas and unlocking new ways of seeing and storytelling. As we bring the series to a close, we are sharing a highlights video, bringing together moments from all four films and celebrating the joy of passing on kit, knowing it will shape a new story in someone else’s hands. Across the series, one theme emerged again and again: our creative identities are tied to the kit we use. Cameras age with us. They absorb our experiences – the knocks, the breakthroughs, the...

C’è una fotografia forse più emblematica delle altre. Ritrae una fila composta esclusivamente di persone nere alluvionate in attesa di assistenza. Su di loro incombe la gigantografia del più elevato livello di vita, ovvero quello di una famiglia bianca (genitori, figli e cane): There’s no Way Like the American Way. È per me questa la foto che può fungere da cover e da titolo di questo contributo critico che racconta la retrospettiva di Margaret Bourke-White, organizzata dalla Fondazione Palazzo Magnani di Reggio Emilia, in collaborazione con Camera – Centro italiano per la Fotografia, presso i Chiostri di San Pietro, con l’efficace e divulgativa curatela di Monica Poggi.

Recipients of the honor, which is […]

When we look at a leaf, we see a predominantly flat plane, intersected by a midrib and myriad veins, or perhaps dotted with ailments like fungi or the eggs of insects. But imagine what these bits of foliage would look like if blown up like balloons. Artist Syd Carpenter responds “to the garden as a source of form” with her Expanded Leaf series. Imagining a papery leaf if it were inflated, perhaps to the size of a cat, the resulting forms take on “the girth, weight and physicality of animals,” she says. Carpenter is known for her clay-based practice exploring the body, land, agriculture, and African American history. She taps into the ancient legacy of the material, merging the timeless medium with...

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA—According to a Stars and Stripes report, the remains of 25 people and some 2,000 artifacts, including personal effects and military equipment, have been recovered from a Korean War battlefield site in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) under the direction of South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense Agency for Killed in Action Recovery and Identification. The excavation was conducted by South Korean troops and U.N. Command (UNC) personnel. Most of the remains are believed to belong to Korean soldiers. “These efforts are part of UNC’s ongoing commitment to upholding the Korean War Armistice Agreement, honoring the sacrifice of those who fought under the U.N. flag and alongside Korea,”...

Shell trumpet CATALONIA, SPAIN—The Guardian reports that conch shells unearthed at Neolithic sites in northeastern Spain may have been used to communicate over long distances and played as musical instruments some 6,000 years ago. Archaeologists Miquel López-Garcia and Margarita Díaz-Andreu of the University of Barcelona said that the 12 large Charonia lampas shells they examined had been collected after the sea snails had died, and were therefore not used for food. Removal of the shells’ pointed tip suggests that they had been used as trumpets, the researchers added. López-Garcia, who is also a professional trumpet player, was able to produce a “really powerful, stable tone” from eight of the...

Known as Tse Bitai to the Diné (Navajo) people, or “winged rock,” Ship Rock in New Mexico is an otherworldly geological formation rising out of the desert that can be seen for miles around. The result of a massive volcanic eruption, the unique outcrop consists of a monolithic stack and at least six radiating, serpentine ridges of long-cooled lava. Originally, Ship Rock was likely a few thousand feet below the ground, but gradual erosion over tens of millions of years has revealed its jagged shape. For Karol Nienartowicz, who won second place in this year’s International Landscape Photographer of the Year contest, the natural landmark was an irresistible place to document from the air as a storm rolled...
