After an inaugural edition last year, the AIR festival will return to Aspen, Colorado, in July with a program of performances, exhibitions, talks, and other events in the high-flying mountain town. The second edition, slated for July 27-31, will feature some artists who participated last time and others presenting work in Aspen for the first time, all under the theme “Figures in a Landscape.” Adrián Villar Rojas, who last year featured in a talk with novelist Álvaro Enrigue, will present a two-floor exhibition at the Aspen Art Museum, which organizes AIR, and will give a talk during the festival. And Matthew Barney will return with a presentation of sculptures related to his TACTICAL Parallax performance...

The forthcoming Saudi Arabia Museum of Contemporary Art has received a $490 million construction grant from Diriyah Company, a real estate juggernaut that has previously thrown its support behind an array of resorts, a digital art institution, and a shopping district in the country. Designed by Godwin Austen Johnson, a Dubai-based architecture firm that previously conceived the Sharjah Art Foundation, the museum will span 883,000 square feet, poising it to cover more ground than the Louvre in Paris. The museum’s main base will be located in Diriyah, though it will also stage exhibitions in nearby Riyadh. Diriyah Company is chaired by Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, the Crown Prince of Saudi...

“We live with so many hard things,” says Sheila Hicks, “that we’re crying for softness.” The pleasure, simplicity, and tactile qualities of textiles ground a new film from Louisiana Channel, which explores the ways in which fiber art remains both evocative and relevant in this increasingly digital era. “7 Artists on Soft Sculptures” weaves together a variety of distinct approaches to textiles. Nick Cave describes incorporating found plastics, toys, metals, fringe, and more into elaborate suits that mask the wearer’s identity, while Icelandic artist Shoplifter shares her obsessions with brightly dyed synthetic hair, which she transforms into immersive installations. And Kaarina Kaikkonen offers...

The Russian Pavilion will be accessible to the public only during the Venice Biennale’s pre-opening vernissage (May 5–8), Italian news outlets report, as the European Union threatens to withdraw funding from the prestigious exhibition amid mounting sanctions on Moscow. For weeks, voices across Europe’s cultural and political spheres—including Italy’s culture minister—have urged Venice Biennale organizers to shutter the Russian Pavilion, as the country’s war against Ukraine remains ongoing. Now, a compromise appears to have been reached: the pavilion will open during the preview period (May 5–8) for live performances tied to the exhibition “The Tree Is Rooted in the Sky.” It will then close...

By Nancy Spiller Alec Egan's painting "Dawn House," in his show "The Groundskeeper" at Vielmetter Los Angeles, is tender, serene, and calm — a lavender and peach sky sheltering the triangular top of a house flanked by two palm trees and the tip of a cypress. In its companion painting, "Night House," the sky takes a sinister turn with layers of dark blue, sunset orange, and a roiling strip indicative of flames mixed with what might be smoke. It hints at something of what Egan, his wife, and...

A coastal ‘cube of change’ between park and shoreline
 
Cube of Change: Meitu Cube Visual Arts Center by OPEN Architecture sits along the coastline of Xiamen, China, between the city and the area’s lush beaches. The building reads as a compact volume from a distance, a pale cube set slightly above the ground, with the sea extending beyond. Its geometry is direct, though the experience shifts as one moves closer.
 
The exterior surface carries a soft, diffused quality through a perforated PTFE skin. During the day, the facade filters light into a muted glow while maintaining visual connection to the surroundings. Toward evening, the building begins to emit light, turning into a luminous surface that...

The Fundação Bienal de São Paulo has named Brazilian curators Amanda Carneiro and Raphael Fonseca chief curators of the Thirty-Seventh São Paulo Bienal, to take place in 2027. The São Paulo–born Carneiro has been a curator at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) since 2018. Among the exhibitions she has mounted […]

As the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) officially welcomes visitors to its brand-new building, a group of Mexican cultural workers is opposing the display of a new sculpture by Pedro Reyes inspired by monumental Olmec busts. The work echoes a contentious 2021 public commission by Reyes that was ultimately scrapped by Mexico City’s government after protests from feminist and Indigenous advocates.In a new open letter endorsed by nearly 80 Mexican critics, artists, and academics — including writers Maria Minera and Gardi Emmelhainz; artists Carmen Argote, Laureana Toledo, and Lorena Wolffer; and curator Cuauhtémoc Medina — the signatories accused the museum of ignoring previous activism against...

“The Machine,” David Lamelas’s survey at Dia Chelsea, highlights the varied and timely nature of the peripatetic Argentinian artist’s work. The institution’s deputy director Humberto Moro curated the show, which was realized in close conversation with the artist, who considers each new installation of the work to be an “original,” as it needs to be […]

Broissin Architects suspends a ring to shape an indoor waterfall
 
Between Sky and Water by Broissin Architects is conceived as an interior architecture proposal that constructs a sensory environment through the controlled interaction of water, structure, and material. The project centers on a suspended circular element that generates a continuous waterfall, organizing the space around a single, defining gesture.
 
Positioned within a 312.17 sqm area, the installation introduces a five-meter-diameter ring, supported by a system of slender steel columns and tension cables anchored to cast-in-place foundations. Despite its approximate one-ton weight, the ring is designed to appear visually light, emphasizing...

Barbara Hannigan mesmerizes as both a brilliant vocalist and a proficient opera conductor in a double bill of Strauss and La voix humaine with the New York Philharmonic.

Growing up in the Australian Outback, where he first picked up a camera as a teenager to document his surroundings in the bush, Jon McCormack developed a keen eye for the beauty and subtleties of nature. Throughout his career, he’s stepped foot on all seven continents. Yet the idea for his new book, Patterns: Art of the Natural World, emerged from a period of quieter reflection. Like many of us during the pandemic, McCormack’s travels were limited to his immediate area. He began visiting the same spots repeatedly and “discovered a new way of seeing, using photography to reveal the hidden harmony and symmetry of the natural world,” says a statement. Patterns, forthcoming from Damiani Books, draws upon...

Long-running dispute centres on a complex 2004 transaction tied to works by Claude Monet

Classical sculptures meet traditional studio portraiture in the work of Åsa Johannesson. The artist’s long-term project The Queering of Photography, turns both traditional genres on their head. The experimental work investigataes the complex relationship between queer identity and photographic representation. The artist creates formal, yet playfully subversive images of human figures, Roman statues and studio props to challenge and reimagine how identity and desire are represented. The project evolved from a series of interconnected works – Looking Out, Looking In; Frame; Figural, Figurative; Turn; and Skin – spanning performative black-and-white studio portraits, studies of Roman statues and...

Barnaba Fornasetti gives a tour of otherworldly universe
 
Barnaba Fornasetti meets designboom in the apartmento of the Fornasetti showroom, perched at the corner of Milan’s famed shopping streets, Via Senato and Corso Venezia. After ascending levels of plates, vases, and home décor displayed against the typical blank, monochromatic walls of a showroom, the uppermost floor suddenly bursts into decorative excess. A striking green wall opens the space, appearing at first like marble, though something feels slightly off. On closer inspection, brushstrokes reveal a witty trompe l’œil. Here, the eye is meant to be tricked – to fall into a vortex of Ionic columns with a single glance at a rug – signaling...

piano piano turns a narrow corridor into an inhabitable spine
 
El desfile de la Puri is a residential renovation by Piano Piano Studio that reconfigures a narrow, elongated dwelling in Valencia, Spain. The spatial strategy is based on geometry, circulation, and continuity between interior and exterior environments. Located in a mild climate, the project prioritizes outdoor living by establishing a closer relationship between the house and its terrace.
 
The existing layout was defined by an irregular geometry and a long corridor lacking right angles, resulting in a fragmented spatial organization. The intervention introduces a custom grid aligned with the building’s original inclinations, allowing the...

Did you know that between 1976 and 2011, admin jobs at American universities grew by a staggering 369% while full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty grew by only 23%? That’s because of the “administrification” and financialization of institutions of higher learning, writes art professor Hakan Topal in an important opinion piece today. As a result, we get disgruntled professors who are stretched thin, students who are treated like paying customers, and administrators whose primary job is to manage discontent. What does this mean for the future of art schools, and what can be done about this crisis? Read Topal’s thoughts below and let us know what you think in the comments section.—Hakim Bishara,...

MEDICLINICS’ BABY CHANGING STATION HONORED WITH GLOBAL AWARDS
  Traditionally, baby changing stations in public restrooms have been treated as purely utilitarian, often clashing with the architectural intent of the space. However, Mediclinics’ Babymedi reinterprets this essential facility through a design-driven approach that prioritizes seamless integration into contemporary environments like airports, shopping centers, and cultural facilities. Recognized with three of the most prestigious international design awards, including the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award in 2026, the design moves away from conventional fold-down plastic units in favor of a fully recessed solution that reduces visual impact...

In Diana Markosian’s latest body of work, intimacy is framed as an unstable condition, continually reconstructed through absence, repetition and emotional residue, where love persists beyond its apparent ending in altered, shifting forms. Relationships appear less as fixed narratives than as structures in motion, shaped as much by what has disappeared as by what remains visible. Replaced, now on at Gallerie d’Italia, organises emotional experience through cycles of return in which memory functions less as retrieval than ongoing re-authorship. Photography and film work together to stage this instability, allowing scenes to reappear in subtly altered emotional registers, as if slightly out of alignment with...

C’è sempre, entrando in una mostra, un momento quasi automatico, e in fondo un po’ ridicolo nella sua prevedibilità, in cui ci si ritrova a chiedere che cosa si abbia davanti, che cosa sia davvero ciò che si sta guardando, come se fosse ancora possibile, oggi, ottenere da una domanda del genere una risposta stabile, qualcosa che non si dissolva nello stesso istante in cui prende forma.

A questo si aggiunge, con sempre maggiore evidenza, una sorta di disturbo percettivo del visitatore, quella compulsione a voler capire l’arte prima ancora di averla guardata, come se la...

Tate Modern’s programme is a global cultural barometer – less a sequence of shows than a continuous reconfiguration of how contemporary art is experienced, narrated and absorbed. The recent Tracey Emin: A Second Life survey sharpened this direction, folding autobiography into institutional scale with an intensity that blurred confession and spectacle. It sat in productive tension with earlier landmark presentations such as Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Rooms and Olafur Eliasson’s The Weather Project, both of which recalibrated perception itself as curatorial material. More recently, El Anatsui’s expansive material assemblages and A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography have extended this...

Following intense criticism, calls for boycotts, and the European Union's official warning about the intent to terminate millions in funding, it appears that Russia's return to the 61st Venice Biennale will employ several workarounds to comply with international sanctions. Reports from Italian news outlets indicate that the Russian Pavilion will only be physically accessible during the Biennale's pre-opening vernissage dates of May 5–8, when some of the included artists in the The tree is rooted in the sky exhibition will stage performances for the press and other industry professionals. From May 9 onward, the building will remain closed, and multimedia documentation of the performances will...

Brooklyn’s latest experimental art space is more fun than a trip to the office. On the fourth floor of a former Prospect Heights automobile service station that was converted into creative industry offices a decade ago, an intentionally misspelled sign reading “The Gallry” greets inquisitive visitors.At first glimpse, The Gallery: WeWork (oralmoral) resembles a quirky incarnation of a millennial co-working space. There’s a jaunty painting of a whale by Michael Egan opposite Anna K.E. Tamada’s enormous satellite speaker with a sound installation at the entrance. A handful of artists tap away on their laptops on tables in a large common area as the aboveground Franklin Avenue Shuttle rumbles past.The...

A newly excavated Roman-era tomb found at Al-Bahnasa, site of the ancient city of Oxyrhynchus, offers insights into Egyptian funerary practices during the Greek and Roman periods (332 BCE–641 CE). The find, announced by the Egyptian Tourism and Antiquities Ministry, was made by a team of Egyptian and Spanish researchers led by archeologists Esther Pons of Spain’s National Archaeological Museum and Maite Mascort of the University of Barcelona.   Among the contents of the tomb were several mummies elaborately wrapped in decorated linen; alongside them the team found three gold amulets shaped like tongues and one made of copper, objects that would allow the dead to speak in the afterlife. The archaeologists...

What better way to meditate on nature’s most majestic features than to recreate its details one stitch at a time? Since picking up a needle and thread in 2020, Cassandra Dias has translated rugged cliffsides, neat vineyards, and sun-streaked mountains into lush embroideries. The Southern California-based artist uses a technique known as thread painting, which combines a variety of stitches to create richly textured scenes. Having developed a dreamy, impressionistic style, Dias’ embroideries mimic the pointed and gestural movements of a paintbrush, with the depth of impasto. Whether depicting a single autumnal tree or a wide seascape stretching for miles, the artist’s works direct attention to the...

SUFFOLK, ENGLAND—The East Anglian Daily Times reports that archaeologists from Cotswold Archaeology uncovered traces of a cremation pyre in the East of England, near the coast of the North Sea. The blackened soil and pieces of burnt bone were found within a ring ditch, which had once been covered by a mound that was destroyed by agricultural plowing. Most of the human remains were likely transferred to an urn for burial at another location. The pyre has not yet been dated, but the researchers suspect it dates to the Bronze Age, since another cremation at the site has been dated to that period. Charcoal and burnt plant material in the soil will also be analyzed for more information about the ritual, the...

WARSAW, POLAND—Researchers led by Elena Klenina and Andrzej B. Biernacki of Adam Mickiewicz University and their colleagues identified intestinal parasites in residues taken from four chamber pots recovered from two archaeological sites in the Roman province of Moesia Inferior, which is located in what is now Bulgaria, according to a La Brújula Verde report. Three of the pots in the study were found in a villa located near the Legio I Italica army camp, where high-ranking officials likely stayed when they visited the region. Cryptosporidium, a protozoan that can cause severe diarrhea, was one of the parasites detected in the second-century A.D. pots from the villa. These vessels also contained evidence of...

Matthew Walton is an emerging artist based in Toronto. He holds a B.A.A. (Hons.) in Animation from Sheridan College. His mixed-media practice combines drawing and painting, often merging the human form with a distinct graphic sensibility. The result is figurative compositions that strike a distinct textural contrast between softness and hardness. Embracing gestures and mannerisms once repressed, his work is also a celebration of authentic self-expression.
Froot Loops features Matthew’s mixed-media-work-on-paper series highlighting the quiet charm of everyday queerness. Each piece reimagines a separate mundane moment, transformed by Matthew’s bold, graphic approach to figuration and his vibrant technicolor...

STRASBOURG, FRANCE—According to a statement released by Frontiers, the protective coatings on a 2,200-year-old Roman shipwreck found off the coast of Croatia were made of pine tar, or pitch, and a mixture of pine tar and beeswax. Beeswax was added to heated tar to make a mixture known to Greek shipbuilders as zopissa, which is more flexible and easier to apply. In addition to analyzing the chemical makeup of the coatings on the ship, archaeometrist Armelle Charrié of Strasbourg University and her colleagues examined pollen trapped in the sticky pitch at the time of application. “Analysis of pollen in the coating made it possible to identify the plant taxa present in the immediate environment during the...

Over the course of two decades, Queens resident Joe Macken meticulously built an entire city from the ground up. In fact, he built New York City—the whole thing—one building, house, and bridge at a time. Now, his expansive scale construction is on view in He Built This City: Joe Macken’s Model at the Museum of the City of New York. Macken began working on the 50-by-27-foot model in 2004, first in Middle Village, Queens, before moving to Clifton Park, New York. It comprises 340 individual sections, each built from everyday materials like cardboard and glue, with many of the buildings constructed of balsa wood and detailed with pencil and paint. He completed the structure in 2025, and it’s now on...

One of the most common sights in cities is birds perched on power lines, although it rarely elicits a second look. Starlings chortle, pigeons coo, and the occasional hawk perches on a pole to scan the ground for its next meal. And yet, as normal as this seems, there’s nothing natural about it. Instead of trees, these feathered creatures rely on whatever infrastructure is around them, from wires and pylons to fences and rooftops. For Ohio-based artist Rachel Mentzer, nature’s resilience is central to a practice focused on sustainability and environmental renewal. Her work “invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between human activity and the natural world, emphasizing the adaptability and fragility...

Funnily enough, I’m not remotely a Rachmaninov fan, but this performance by Galina Vishnevskaya in her considerable prime always gives me the chills.

Rope, knots and string have a striking presence in contemporary art. Think of Chiharu Shiota’s current exhibition at Hayward Gallery, Threads of Life, where intricate, web-like installations explore memory, consciousness and the fragility of existence. Audiences are invited to walk into a vast network of intricate clusters of red string, often filled with ordinary objects like shoes, keys, beds, chairs and dresses. Meanwhile, at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, LR Vandy’s Rise uses the form and texture of rope to consider the textile’s industry’s role in Britain’s industrial history. Perhaps best-known are the performance artists, such as Ana Mendieta and Marina Abramovic, who turn the act of binding...

Il nuovo programma di residenze artistiche presso l’associazione culturale Alchemilla a Bologna, quest’anno curato da Giulia Giacomelli e Gabriele Tosi, si pone come dispositivo di dialogo tra l’interiorità isolata, accogliente e protetta del palazzo storico di Bologna e l’alterità del mondo che lo circonda, aprendo lo sguardo verso la scena artistica bolognese e la contemporaneità complessa e destabilizzante del nostro tempo. Tre sono le artiste coinvolte nel programma delle nuove residenze, della durata di due mesi, nei quali ciascuna troverà modo di affrontare una prima fase di ricerca individuale seguita da una seconda nella quale si creerà un contatto e un dialogo con la scena artistica...

C’è una cosa che succede quando entri in un archivio. Non è subito evidente. Prima senti l’odore, una specie di polvere che non è solo polvere, è tempo compresso, è il peso specifico di tutto ciò che qualcuno ha deciso di non buttare via. Poi vedi le scatole. Le cartelle. I faldoni. E capisci che sei circondato da qualcosa che nessuno guarda, ma che esiste con una precisione ossessiva, catalogato, numerato, conservato, come se ogni carta fosse l’unica prova rimasta che certe cose sono accadute davvero. Dayanita Singh negli ultimi dieci anni ci è entrata in questi archivi, in Italia. E ha fotografato.

La pratica di Yuchu Zhao si muove tra pittura, stampa e installazione, ma il metodo rimane coerente. All’inizio del processo, conversazioni in mandarino e inglese vengono registrate, editate e ridotte fino a che rimangono solo parole singole. Queste parole vengono poi ricostruite fisicamente, non più sostenute da sintassi o contesto. Ciò che si perde in chiarezza si guadagna in attenzione. Agli spettatori viene chiesto di soffermarsi su tono, spaziatura ed esitazione piuttosto che sul significato.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA—A team of researchers led by Kyungcheol Choy of Hanyang University found evidence of chicken-keeping some 2,000 years ago with the Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) technique, according to a statement released by Hanyang University. This technique allows scientists to analyze collagen peptides and amino acid sequences obtained from small samples of bone, thus allowing the identification of even highly fragmented remains. The chicken bones in this study were unearthed at the Gungok-ri site in southwestern Korea. “We confirmed not only the presence of chickens but also their management during the Proto-Three Kingdoms period,” Choy said. Plus, elevated levels of nitrogen...

Marble statue of Athena, Laodicea, Turkey DENIZLI, TURKEY—A six-foot statue of the goddess Athena has been discovered at the West Theater in Laodicea, an ancient city in southwestern Turkey, according to a Türkiye Today report. The white marble sculpture, which has an unfinished back, was found lying face down in rubble near the outer wall of the state building. The head and arms of the statue have not been recovered. The style of the carving suggests that the sculpture dates to the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus, between 27 B.C. and A.D. 14. As goddess of war, Athena is shown wearing a sleeveless peplos and a cloak, or hylamis, fastened around her neck. A protective aegis on her chest features the...
