Global agriculture is at a tipping point. Countries worldwide face mounting pressures: extreme weather driven by climate change, increasing water scarcity, and a growing agricultural labour shortage as people move from rural areas. It’s a serious concern, heightened by projections that the global population will increase by two billion by 2050, requiring food production to rise by 70%. In response, many are turning to technological innovation. A 2024 McKinsey survey found that 57% of North American farmers are likely to adopt yield-enhancing technologies within the next two years. By 2021, an estimated 87% of businesses in the US agricultural sector were already utilising artificial intelligence. Artist Cao...

I hope you're reading this while waiting for the sparkly glue to dry on your DIY protest sign for today's No Kings marches. Check out Steven Weinberg’s fantastic comic this week for tips from artists and writers on how to make a great one. Reuse your “I Prefer My ICE Crushed” banner at less mainstream local actions to keep the pressure going.This leads us to a weightier question looming over art and activism right now: “Where does socially engaged art fit into a world progressively hostile to independent thought?” That inquiry prompted Ed Woodham, a fixture of NYC's experimental scene and founder of Art in Odd Places, to explore the pernicious ways in which the frameworks of social...

On a recent visit to the Notre-Dame de Paris, the 12th-century cathedral was bustling with a steady flow of visitors who had come inside the Gothic monument from a wintery afternoon. It seemed more packed than it had been before its closure in 2019, after the collapse of its iconic spire and roof in a horrific blaze. But the line to get in moved quickly, and once under its vaulted ceiling, the sheer size of the structure left room to linger. I had gone to see the stained-glass windows designed by Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century, adorning six of the south-side chapels along the nave—before they are replaced. Viollet-le-Duc’s windows, geometric and floral-patterned stained-glass...

“Il silenzio del gesto. Nel punto esatto in cui mi perdo comincio a sentire” è il titolo scelto per la grande retrospettiva di Antonio Recca alla Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Catania (GAM), visitabile fino al prossimo 12 aprile 2026. Non è solo un titolo, è una micronarrazione: un modo di evocare l’atto pittorico e sensoriale dell’artista, classe 1957. Antonio Recca, ph. Renato Zacchia, courtesy dell’artista
La mostra, curata da Giacomo Fanale, in co-organizzazione col Comune di Catania, ospita cinquanta paesaggi, dal 2009 a oggi. Sono visioni intimistiche e astratte, afflati interiori, percezioni sottili di una pittura che non vuole essere rumorosa ma vuole indurre all’ascolto e alla...

fran silvestre redefines domestic clarity in spanish residence
 
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos synthesizes program, structure, and landscape in Cano House, framing it as a rigorous exploration of a clear and cohesive domestic architecture. Located in Alicante, Spain, the dwelling is organized into three distinct zones, including night, day, and sports, articulated to balance autonomy and continuity within the overall composition.
 
The house takes shape through two lower volumes that frame a taller central body. This elevated element contains the main living area and lifts gently above the ground, giving it a sense of lightness and quiet presence. A deep edge traces its perimeter, reinforcing the impression of...

monaro plateau homestead restores 19th century stone cottage
 
Rodney Moss and Josh Mulford Architects, in collaboration with Sally Hieatt Interiors, complete a family farmhouse on the Monaro Plateau in Australia, near Canberra. Designed as a contemporary extension to an existing late nineteenth century stone cottage, Monaro Plateau Homestead combines restoration and new construction to create a unified rural home. Working with structural engineer Ken Murtagh and builder Mark Loader, the team introduces a new pavilion connected to the original farmhouse. Together, the structures frame expansive views across the rugged Monaro landscape, balancing heritage character with a contemporary architectural...

Guillaume Cerutti, the onetime CEO of Christie’s auction house who joined the Pinault Collection as president last February is stepping down after just thirteen months in the role, according to French investigative news platform Glitz. Though neither Cerutti nor the Pinault Collection has commented publicly on his departure, the Paris institution told the Art Newspaper that it had no plans […]

Marica Vilcek, a champion of immigrant artists and scientists, has died at the age of 89. The beloved art historian and philanthropist passed away on Monday, March 23, at her New York home. News of Vilcek’s passing was announced by her namesake foundation, which she established in 2000 alongside her husband, Jan, to support immigrant contributions to the arts and research sciences. To date, the Vilcek Foundation has awarded more than $17 million to advance its immigrant-centered mission, including unrestricted cash awards for researchers and artists across disciplines. “Marica had a remarkable ability to recognize potential in people — sometimes before they saw it in themselves,” Vilcek Foundation...

The Kennedy Center began laying off staff on Thursday, according to a report in the Washington Post. The cuts, which employees say affected multiple departments, are tied to President Donald Trump’s plan to shut down the Washington, D.C., cultural institution for two years, which was approved by its board earlier this month. Included in the layoffs were the Kennedy Center’s executive vice president Nick Meade and vice president Rick Loughery, both of whom were installed in their roles by the center’s former president Richard Grenell, a Trump loyalist hired a year ago to overhaul the institution’s “woke” programming. Trump and the rest of the board replaced Grenell, whose tenure was marked by...

CLAREMONT, Calif. — The feminist collective Slow War Against the Nuclear State — better known as SWANS — formed in a moment of serendipity and epiphany. In 2022, Los Angeles-based feminist artist Nancy Buchanan decided to throw a dinner party to discuss the politics of the nuclear state, and the group hasn’t stopped meeting since. Three SWANS members grew up with fathers who were deeply involved in the production of atomic weapons, while two had parents who were anti-war and anti-nuclear activists. All seven are both artists and academics, collectively spanning three generations. At Pitzer College Art Galleries, Atomic Dragons includes contributions from each member, focusing on photography’s role in...

After a year when chatbots have infiltrated virtually every aspect of our social consciousness, it wasn’t a surprise to see that AI was a big theme in the 2026 Sundance Film Festival programming. On top of over a dozen industry panels and artist talks addressing uses of AI in storytelling, the festival — the last to be held in Park City, its historic home — also included not one, but two feature documentaries directly grappling with today’s AI discourse. Viewed together, these two films provide a thorough survey of the pervading anxieties and wide-ranging attitudes surrounding AI.  In Ghost in the Machine (2026), filmmaker Valerie Veatch — who also directed Love Child (2014) and Me @ the Zoo...

The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida has snapped up the artist’s largest-ever work at auction, Artnet reports. Clocking in at over 20 meters high and 30 meters wide, Salvador Dalí’s Décor de théâtre pour Bacchanale, completed in 1939, was conceived by the artist as a backdrop for a Surrealist ballet, Bacchanale, choreographed by Léonide Massine and the Ballets Russes de […]

This is the latest installment in a months-long showdown between the university and its faculty. Last December, amidst a deficit of […]

David Morrison continues his hyperrealistic explorations of flowers, seeds, and plants, capturing the intricacies and alluring textures found throughout nature in lush colored pencil. Delicate, fine lines and smooth gradients prevail in the artist’s drawings, which present the organic subject matter as if it were bathed in light. Rendered in a soft haze, shadows of individual fronds and nodes add a deceptive sense of depth to the two-dimensional works. The pieces shown here are some of Morrison’s latest, and you can find more on his Instagram and via Garvey | Simon, where he’s represented. “Botanical Series No.4 Drawing” (2025), colored pencil, 29 x 15 inches “Botanical No.3 Drawing” (2025),...

Museums and institutions in the United Kingdom hold more than 263,000 items of human remains, including bones and complete skeletons, according to a recent investigation. Following a public records inquiry, the Guardian found that 241 UK museums held significant collections of human remains, among them 28,914 items confirmed to originate from outside Europe, including former British colonies, prompting concern among experts. According to the report, the majority of the remains acquired outside Europe, totaling 11,856, originated in Africa. Nearly 10,000 of these remains came from Asia. Items from Oceania, North America, and South America were less common within the collections analyzed.Toyin Agbetu, a...

Section of the mosaic showing the leopard and the woman BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA—Sports researcher Alfonso Mañas of the University of California, Berkeley, examined an illustration of a third-century a.d. Roman mosaic discovered in 1860 in Reims, France, by archaeologist Jean Charles Loriquet, according to a Live Science report. Most of the mosaic was destroyed by bombing during World War I, but Loriquet’s illustration of the artifact survived in his book, which was published in 1862. Mañas said that the surviving fragment of the mosaic, housed in the Saint-Remi History Museum, closely matches the drawing, which shows animals, hunters, and gladiators. He thinks that one figure in particular, previously...

Growing up as a queer kid in the ‘80s, I was well aware from an early age that I was different, and that different was not okay, especially living in Missouri,” says New Mexico artist Anthony Hurd, who recently shifted away from abstracts, to delve into what may be deemed “controversial” figurative work. Not only […]

SICHUAN PROVINCE, CHINA—According to a Phys.org report, Haichao Li of Sichuan University led a team of researchers in the analysis of fragments of iron discovered in southwestern China at the Sanxingdui site, a city occupied between 2800 and 600 B.C. So far, eight sacrificial pits containing metal objects such as bronze masks, trees, and figurines have been excavated at the site. The three iron fragments, which appear to have been parts of an ax-like weapon, were discovered in Pit 7. Because this object was found in the sacrificial area, the researchers suggest that it had ritual significance. Metallographic and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis of the metal...

Antonio Homem, who started working with the storied gallerist Ileana Sonnabend in the 1960s and went on to oversee her collection and maintain her and husband Michael Sonnabend’s legacy as supporters of some of the most important figures of post-war contemporary art, has died at the age of 86. The news was announced by the Sonnabend Collection Mantova, a museum Homem helped open in the north of Italy in 2025. Born in Portugal in 1939, Homem moved to Switzerland as a teenager and studied engineering before he solidified his interest in the arts upon meeting Ileana Sonnabend, who convinced him to work at her gallery in Paris in 1968. In an interview for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, Homem...

OXFORD, ENGLAND—According to a statement released by the University of Oxford, domesticated dogs were spread across Europe and Anatolia and living with hunter-gatherers by 14,000 years ago. Researchers led by Lachie Scarsbrook and Greger Larson of the University of Oxford analyzed genomes taken from dog remains recovered at Upper Paleolithic sites, including Pınarbaşı in Turkey and Gough’s Cave in England, and two Mesolithic sites in Serbia. These dog genomes were then compared with the genomes of more than 1,000 ancient and modern dogs and wolves from around the world. “Not only has this discovery pushed back the earliest direct evidence of dogs by 5,000 years, it also showed us that dogs and wolves...

Countless bands and musical artists have celebrated new album releases on late-night television, but no one has done so with quite the art world flair as BTS, the mega-famous K-pop boy band fronted by art enthusiast and collector RM. (The other six members are Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook.) Fresh off a four-year hiatus, BTS’s new album Arirang came out on Mar. 20. The band was interviewed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night. But instead of performing their new single “SWIM” in Studio 6B, Fallon played a previously recorded video from a secret live performance at the Guggenheim Museum earlier that day. In the video, Fallon stands in front of a circular stage on the...

As controversy mounts over Russia’s plans to mount its first Venice Biennale pavilion since the nation’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, 37 members of the European Parliament signed a letter that calls for the European Union to cease all funding to the Biennale. The EU has not publicly stated how much money it gives to the Biennale, which is not just the top art exhibition in Europe but the biggest show of its kind anywhere in the world. But according to the letter, which was obtained by Politico on Friday, the EU has granted around 2 million euros to the Biennale over a three-year period. “Under no circumstances should Russia, a state subject to extensive European Union sanctions on trade, goods and...

“My process is a constant negotiation with gravity,” says Soojin Choi. The artist creates intimate ceramic sculptures depicting a pair entwined in an unknottable embrace, their limbs a seemingly endless tangle. With pockets of negative space peeking through, the characters pose in a precarious balance. “I intentionally minimize ground contact to prioritize the specific gestures and the psychological tension between the two figures, giving the work a sense of lightness and emotional presence,” the artist adds. A long-time resident artist at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, Choi is formally trained as a painter, a background that informs the sweeping, gestural marks of her pieces. The figures are...

New Museum describes itself as “Manhattan’s only museum devoted exclusively to contemporary art.” It reopened last week after a 60,000-square-foot expansion, envisioned by Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firm OMA. The project was headed by Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas, in collaboration with Executive Architect Cooper Robertson. When New Museum was founded in 1977 in a one-room office, it became the first contemporary art institution established in New York since WWII. But it wasn’t until 2007 that its first purpose-built space opened. That structure was designed by SANAA, founded by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. Their flagship building – constructed on a former parking lot on the Bowery...

Fashion designer Yinghan Qian is profoundly influenced by Zen philosophy. The Buddhist practice literally means “meditation,” teaching that enlightenment is achieved through the realisation that we are already enlightened beings. In Qian’s designs, this concept comes to the fore as a foundational way of understanding existence and transformation, informing how she works with materials and symbols, and allowing new contexts to emerge throughout the making process. This approach sets her work apart from other artists, transforming fashion design into a form of self-examination. As Harpaar’s Bazaar China writes: “Lacrynette is reminding us that in the future fashion world, it may not be the loudest...

desert traditions translate to speculative shelters
 
In many parts of the world, architecture begins from conditions that are already under strain. Displacement stretches across years. Climate reshapes land and movement. Systems that support living remain uneven or absent. Within this context, utopia shifts away from distant projections and moves into how spaces are created, shared, and sustained over time.
 
Jordanian-Palestinian designer Abeer Seikaly works from this position. Her practice centers on traditional textiles and material systems that respond to instability while drawing from long-standing knowledge embedded in craft. Rather than isolating design from its context, she builds through it to...

The Antwerp Six exhibition at MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp 
 
The MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp celebrates the Antwerp Six designers with a major exhibition dedicated to their crafts and histories. 40 years after the group’s London debut, the museum highlights their works in an authorized show, which runs on March 28th, 2026 through January 17th, 2027. It is the first time all six have been brought together for an in-depth survey of their individual paths and collective impact in the design and fashion industry. The exhibition starts in Antwerp in the 1970s, when Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene, and Marina Yee were still...

La retrospettiva Materia e Percezione, al Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, riunisce oltre cento opere realizzate in venticinque anni di ricognizione estetica, offrendo una lettura approfondita del percorso espressivo di Carol Bove, tra le figure più autorevoli della prassi scultorea moderna. Il progetto curatoriale rinuncia a una sequenza cronologica lineare per privilegiare accostamenti sperimentali che mettono in luce l’interconnessione tra impianti, schemi tessili e ambientazioni costruttive. Mediante una gestione accurata dell’illuminazione e dei dispositivi di orientamento, la mostra accompagna il visitatore seguendo un itinerario scandito da aperture inquadrate, in cui la volumetria di Frank Lloyd...

When photographer Frank Relle was nine years old, he remembers sneaking out of the house he grew up in in New Orleans just before daybreak to catch the sunrise—an event he found frustratingly difficult to explain to others, as much as he wished to share the experience. It was only years later that he discovered the camera, and he reflects on this time now through the lens of an excerpt from the essay “Between Yes and No” by Albert Camus: “A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.” Relle adds, “The swamp was that opening for me. I do not fully understand how. I went in...

After more than six years, a mystery woman captured in a portrait that was acquired by the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in 2020 has been identified, Artnet reports. The painting, which the museum acquired at auction at Sotheby’s, was signed J. Schul and dates back to the eighteenth century. It depicts a young Black woman, bedecked with pearls and holding […]

For Olaf Hajek, difference isn’t about opposition but rather about identifying connections. The Berlin-based illustrator renders dense, uncanny compositions that nod to Surrealist icons like Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. Nature and culture entwine, and magic and mystery veil each scene. These dreamlike moments of intrigue ask the viewer to suspend preconceived notions and instead, enjoy the allure of the ambiguous. Hajek is an avid traveler and cultural consumer, offering him a vast repository of images from a variety of sources and locales. Folklore, vernacular traditions, spiritual practices, and natural motifs blend into a distinguishable aesthetic. “What interests me is not so much their...

Dental and skeletal lesions strongly indicate treponemal disease that spread from mother to infant in utero. NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA—A team of researchers from Australia and Vietnam examined skeletal remains of more than 300 people who lived in Vietnam between 10,000 and 1,000 years ago, according to a statement released by Charles Sturt University. The bones and teeth of three of the children who lived between about 3,200 and 4,000 years ago exhibited signs of infection with a congenital treponemal disease such as syphilis or yaws. Venereal syphilis was not found to be common in the larger population, however, which suggests that the children suffered from yaws, a non-venereal disease that can cause...

SKIEN, NORWAY—According to a ZME Science report, three oak barrels were discovered during a water and sewage system project in the center of the city of Skien in southeastern Norway. The seventeenth-century barrels were surrounded by lime deposits, which helped to preserve them, and a large wooden rammer used by builders. Compacted lime was found in the bottom of the barrels and demolition debris was found on top of them. Slaked lime, an ingredient in mortar, was probably stored here. Workers may have buried the barrels to keep the lime chemically stable and prevent it from freezing during the winter. “The discovery of such vessels in an intact position provides a rare insight into craft activity directly...

In communities throughout Switzerland’s Appenzell Hinterland and Midland regions, a unique tradition with enigmatic origins unfolds around the New Year. Known as Silvesterchlausen, the custom entails a group of boys and men who don remarkable, handmade costumes with masks and headdresses that represent rural, wild, and natural scenes. “Silvesterchlausen,” a dreamy short film by writer and director Andrew Norman Wilson, highlights this regional seasonal event, which occurs on December 31 and January 13. The first date marks the turn of the new year on the Gregorian calendar, while January 13 denotes the same on the Julian calendar. The ornately dressed mummers, in groups of six, polyphonically yodel and...

Tish Murtha (1956 – 2013) was a teenager when she found an old camera in a derelict house. By this point, she’d already left school and had taken on variety of jobs, from selling hot dogs to working in a petrol station. The discovery was a turning point in Murtha’s life, prompting her to first take a photography course at Bath Lane, Newcastle, before going on to study at the famous School of Documentary Photography at the University of Wales. After graduating, Murtha returned to Newcastle, where she documented the region’s marginalised communities from the inside. Her photographs capture the social impact of industrial decline with honesty, empathy and urgency, offering a powerful account of...

We are really pleased to announce that DO YOU LIKE LOVE? is now available to order!
Do you like love? The question came from a conversation, recalled by a friend. Her elderly neighbour used to cry for ‘elp!’ and Jane’s husband Pip would rush to her aide. Sometimes she’d fallen, but rarely; although she was blind she had lived in that house for 60 years, she knew every inch of it. A house filled with memories of her husband, their life together, and her aloneness after his death. On this one day that she called out, she was found sitting with the television on, a black and white film playing out a romantic scene from the 1950s.
‘Do you like love, Pippy?’ she said, ‘I like love.’

Ci soccorre la molteplicità di significati della parola latina per provare a illustrare il concetto chiave e i progetti fotografici dell’edizione 2026 della Biennale di Fotografia Femminile di Mantova, diretta da Alessia Locatelli e organizzata dall’Associazione La Papessa. “Liminal” è il titolo di questa quarta edizione che, non soltanto, propone lo sguardo femminile sulle dinamiche del mondo (e, in misura minoritaria, anche sulla fotografia artistica), ma soprattutto tenta di portare alla nostra attenzione, e con il fil rouge 2026 più che mai, storie provenienti da luoghi che, seppur marginali,...

Henrik Aarrestad Uldalen captures people in oils with all the precision and clarity of a camera. He then places these incredibly lifelike images in impossible scenes.

Studio Loan wants to connect LA artists with the space they need — for free By Kristine Schomaker 60% of artists in Los Angeles don't have a studio outside their home. Or one at all. I think about that number a lot. Because space — or the lack of it — shapes everything. What you can make. How you can show it. Whether you can even invite someone in to see the work. Studio visits matter. Not in some abstract networking way, but in the real, tangible way where someone comes to your space, stands...

Riding a bike. Singing. Going to a football match. These are everyday activities for most people, but not for Iranian women. Instead, they are part of a wealth of experiences that have been restricted for women and girls since the 1979 Revolution. In the decades before the Revolution, the women’s movement in Iran had made important strides. The right to vote and to take their rightful place in various contexts was improved, and more and more doors opened in society. But since, a series of laws once again limited women’s rights in the public arena and laid the foundations for a gender-segregated reality. Creative duo Atoosa Farahmand and Oscar Hagberg depict the lives of women and girls in Iran, marked by...

A Milano la quindicesima edizione della fiera italiana dedicata alla fotografia si è presentata come luogo di incontro e influenza delle più interessanti ricerche nell’ambito dell’immagine. Tramite uno sguardo mirato alla rappresentazione della complessità del contemporaneo, la direttrice Francesca Malgara, ha delineato il tema della Metamorfosi come ambito che interpreta al meglio i cambiamenti repentini tipici della realtà del nostro tempo, mettendolo in collegamento con i profondi cambiamenti avvenuti all’interno del linguaggio fotografico e aprendo il dialogo all’universo di riflessioni sulla realtà che questa tematica suscita.

Mary Iverson paints bucolic, sweeping landscapes reminiscent of the late nine-teenth century that look as if were discovered in the dusty corners of an underrated thrift store.
