Land Art compares Ancient Hunting and Modern Extraction
 
As part of the Ionian Lab residency program on Othonoi, the westernmost inhabited island of Greece, visual artist The Krank has created The Hunt, a 500-sqm temporary land art installation on Aspri Ammos beach. Facing Block 2 in the northern Ionian Sea, where offshore drilling projects are planned, the installation is located approximately 10 kilometers from the proposed extraction area, placing the work directly within a landscape facing potential industrial transformation.
 
The project brings together two moments in time separated by thousands of years. The prehistoric hunter and the contemporary extraction industry are presented as different...

"It's the one thing in the world that is just there to make things beautiful," Palestinian-American artist Sabri Sundos says of flowers. The motif appears throughout Chasing Flowers, his solo exhibition at Fisk Gallery in Portland, Oregon, where dancing figures and floral forms become vehicles for exploring freedom, longing, and Palestinian diasporic identity. Yet painting is a relatively recent chapter in Sundos' creative life. Before turning to visual art in 2018, the Brooklyn-based artist spent years making music, touring, and performing, only picking up a paintbrush while designing an album cover. “The first time I painted, I remember how good it made me feel,” he recalls in an interview...

“I love the angel wending language through the air”

Yuko Kikuchi, the former head of academic programs at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, resigned from her post in January after writing a letter to the institution’s leadership describing “racist” and “culturally insensitive” conduct she said she experienced from other museum staffers, the Art Newspaper reported.  Born in Tokyo and based in the […]

In all of its coastal, evergreen, and folkloric beauty, the city of Seattle has surprisingly appointed a common urban raccoon as its unofficial mascot in the last week. Only, the raccoon in question is anything but common — it's ✨Jimothy.✨Jimothy, who recently went viral after he was filmed gallivanting between yards in the Ballard neighborhood, looks more like a pom-pom than a raccoon due to his unnatural physique. The rotund little thing lives with a condition called short spine syndrome — a rare congenital birth defect in which the spinal vertebrae fail to properly separate during fetal development, resulting in a severely compressed spinal column that gives Jimothy a shortened torso and little...

The Rike Concert Hall in Tbilisi, Georgia, is set to be demolished. Designed by the renowned Italian architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas of Studio Fuksas, the building was mostly completed in 2012 but has never been opened. The architecture department of Tbilisi’s city hall issued a permit allowing for the concert hall’s demolition, mandating the […]

Last week, President Trump installed a new, life-size bronze sculpture of Thomas Jefferson in the Rose Garden, making it the fifth statue he has added to the White House grounds during his second administration, the Washington Post reports. The piece is another example of Trump-led efforts to install realistic statues around the country of America’s Founding Fathers in particular, partly in reaction to damage done to Confederate monuments and statues of other figures with divisive contributions, following protests in the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing by a police officer in 2020. The Jefferson sculpture is by the artist George Lundeen, who has also made a statue of Trump with his fist raised, in a...

Life imitates art, sort of. Katie Holmes plays a New York–based photographer reconnecting with her high school flame in Happy Hours, a new film Holmes also wrote and directed. Happy Hours premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6, and, according to TMZ, it was at a dinner related to the festival that Holmes met her new boyfriend, New York–based artist Jason Bard Yarmosky. Yarmosky was one of the 10 artists who participated in the 2026 Tribeca Festival Artist Awards Program, an initiative sponsored by Chanel in which visual artists gift one of their artworks to one of the festival’s winning filmmakers. Others in the 2026 cohort include Brendan Fernandes, Bony Ramirez, Hank Willis Thomas, and Carrie...

On July 19, Cuban artist and dissident Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara arrived in Miami after a period when his whereabouts remained unknown following his release from Guanajay Prison. According to the Associated Press, Otero Alcántara was clutching a broken statue of the Virgin Mary that he brought from Cuba, calling it a symbol of hope. […]

Piertzovanis Toews forms Reversible Timber Pavilion for retreat
 
The Pavilion of Sliding Doors in Nuglar-St. Pantaleon, Switzerland, originated from an open letter to the local town council, in which young residents expressed the need for a sheltered place to meet and gather. Developed by Piertzovanis Toews through a collaborative process involving local residents, stakeholders, architects, and the young authors of the initiative, the project resulted in a lightweight pavilion positioned just outside the village.
 
The design responds to the surrounding landscape through a simple timber structure raised above the meadow. Sliding panels provide protection from wind and weather while allowing the pavilion to...

Grad student thesis shows run the risk of curatorial chaos, given their typical premise. Brought together under the auspices of a degree-granting program, the creative output of an eclectic group of artists with diverging interests, aesthetics, and methods might not naturally gel into a harmonious exhibition. This could have been the case for the nine thesis candidates wrapping up their time in the School of Visual Art’s MFA Art Practice program, particularly given the seismic shifts rocking the institution. The three-year low-residency program will move exclusively online next academic year, and it’s no longer accepting applications for future classes. In February, the program’s longtime chair resigned...

“Dr. Hartig, are you America first? Do you love America?” So asked Representative Tim Burchett (Republican of Tennessee) of Anthea Hartig, director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History (NMAH), during a two-hour congressional hearing Tuesday over allegations that the institution has failed in its duty to preserve and present the nation’s story. The hearing will likely carve out its own place in American history—not merely for the spectacle of the proceedings, which included questions like “When did you know you were a woman?” and “Was Mickey Mouse racist?” but for the ideological conflict at its core, one that prompted repeated comparisons to McCarthyism and the era’s...

Two 1970s murals by Chilean artist Julio Escámez, long thought to have been destroyed by Augusto Pinochet’s military regime, are currently in the process of being uncovered and restored. The Heritage Unit of the Municipality of Chillán (UPA), which has been carrying out the work, announced this week that they expect to have the first of the murals ready for viewing by December 2027.   In 1969, Eduardo Contreras Mella, the mayor of Chillán and a member of Chile’s Communist party, commissioned Escámez to create murals for Chillán’s city hall. Escámez spent more than two years working on the paintings, which were unveiled in June of 1972. The finished murals, titled The Beginning and The End, were...

The Hong Kong Palace Museum entered into an agreement with the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan to collaborate on exhibitions, academic research, and other projects. At a signing ceremony on Monday, the connection forged between the two institutions marked the first official reciprocal visit by a Central Asian cultural institution since Hong Kong’s chief executive, John Lee Ka-chiu, led a delegation including the Palace Museum’s director to the region last month. It follows a similar deal struck with the State Museum of History of Uzbekistan. As reported by the South China Morning Post, Hong Kong Palace Museum director Louis Ng Chi-wa said, “During my trip to Uzbekistan, I had the privilege of...

a permanent tattoo applied like a patch
 
At a Shoreditch launch on July 23rd, 2026, London-based skin technology company CipherX will invite visitors to receive a permanent tattoo from a patch. Its Microdot Tattoo system trades the familiar buzz of a tattoo machine for hundreds of microscopic structures, each carrying pigment into the skin before dissolving.
 
The patch stays in place for about fifteen minutes, and the image grows darker over the following 24 to 48 hours.
 
The current format keeps the tattoos deliberately small, with each design confined to a 15-millimeter circular canvas. Carbon black motifs include a bold star and a tiny chair, while custom artwork remains limited to selected...

ROME, ITALY—UPI reports that Brig. Gen. Antonio Petti of the Italian Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage handed over a collection of artifacts to Genaro Lozano, Mexico’s ambassador to Italy, at the Mexican embassy in Rome. The objects were recovered during several investigations into the illicit trafficking of cultural property carried out in Florence, Rome, Monza, Ancona, and Venice. Three sculpture heads from Teotihuacan, two Maya terracotta figurines, and a tripod bowl were among the repatriated items, according to researchers from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History. To read about an animal offering uncovered in Teotihuacan, go to "Maya Monkey...

NOVGOROD, RUSSIA—According to a Live Science report, a piece of a large wild boar's tusk adorned with an engraved metal cap has been uncovered in northwestern Russia, in an area of the city of Veliky Novgorod that was inhabited by wealthy individuals during the medieval period. The tusk has been dated to the mid-twelfth to early thirteenth century, and is thought to have been a hunting trophy carried by a warrior or noble as a good luck charm. “It’s extraordinary because of its size. It’s extremely big,” said Natalia Eniosova of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The surviving section of the tusk measures almost four inches long and more than one inch across. Eniosova and her colleagues estimate that...

Across three pickleball courts in central Pittsburgh, Sharmistha Ray embraces the realm of sport as a canvas for vibrant paintings. Geometry of Play comprises large-scale murals that mark the first artist-designed pickleball courts in the country. While we most often associate outdoor murals with walls, the otherwise nondescript 22-by-40-foot area is ripe for interpretation. Ray translates their vivid, geometric abstractions onto a playable surface, tapping into the sport’s communal nature. The artist has long been interested in themes of belonging, especially through the lenses of queer identity and the inheritance of multiple cultures. Photo by Ross Ribblett In Geometry of Play, target-like spheres,...

Tomb, Saqqara, Egypt CAIRO, EGYPT—Three rock-cut tombs dated to the New Kingdom period (ca. 1550–1070 B.C.) have been discovered at the Bubasteion Necropolis in Saqqara, Ahram Online reports. Amr El-Tayeb, director of the Saqqara Archaeological Site, said that carvings on the wall of the first tomb reveal that it belonged to an official named Mentuhotep, who is shown with his mother, Eihotep. Offering bearers and hunting scenes are also depicted in the images. Inscriptions in the tomb record that Mentuhotep was known as Hereditary Prince, Mayor, Royal Seal Bearer, and One Who Pleases the Heart of the Ruler, in addition to other administrative and military titles. An unexcavated burial shaft in this tomb...

Helen Levitt, "New York" (1971), dye transfer (© Film Documents LLC; image courtesy Zander Galerie, Cologne)Photographer Helen Levitt, who was born in Bensonhurst in 1913 and died at the age of 95 in her fifth-floor apartment in Greenwich Village, lived in New York City her entire life (save for a five-month sojourn to Mexico) and never lost her Flatbush accent. She was friends with photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, and, like the latter, collaborated with writer James Agee, but she never received the level of attention and acclaim that her male contemporaries did. Though Levitt is perhaps best known for her photographs of children’s chalk drawings in the 1930s, they comprise only a...

The Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) plans to eliminate its entire in-house custodial workforce in August, according to the institution and the union American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 (AFSCME Council 31).Up to 25 of the museum's custodians — including 23 unionized workers — would lose their current jobs as part of the museum's plan to outsource its custodial work to a private, third-party vendor. The affected workers are responsible for cleaning the institution's galleries and facilities. Some of them have worked at the AIC for decades. The museum told Hyperallergic that staff members will be offered new positions by the contractor, contingent upon their...

The iconic Art Deco architecture of Los Angeles’ Richard J. Riordan Central Library houses more than 10 million items, making it the third largest library in the country. The institution also celebrates its centennial this year. So, what better way to ring in a new century of reading and learning than with the largest pop-up book ever created? Commissioned by the Library Foundation of Los Angeles in partnership with the Los Angeles Public Library, L.A.-based artist and printmaker Daniel González conceived of a monumental ode to knowledge, discovery, and imagination. “Luceros y Penumbres” also nods to the building’s history, taking pride of place in the elegant rotunda surrounded by Dean...

Daesung Lee on his series, nirvana
 
In 2024, Paris and Korea-based photographer Daesung Lee started taking photos of his mom on his trips back to his hometown in Korea. Dressed in bright red and decorated with twinkling sea creatures, Lee and his mom created the series, Nirvana: a work that looks at the many lives his mom has lived. Through these joyful compositions that see his mom, dad, and other folks of their generation play with the motifs and colors of the country, Lee creates a body of work that reflects on Korea’s history while, ‘moving forward to the next stage of life.’

BURR RECONFIGURES AZ06 AROUND THE BUILDING’S CENTRAL CORE
 
Spanish architecture studio BURR renovates an existing apartment in Madrid to accommodate a family of five. Named AZ06, the project responds to the original configuration of the building, where the main staircase, elevators, and internal courtyard form an unavoidable core at the center of the floor plan. Rather than concealing this condition, the architects use it to organize a home that continuously rotates around the central void.
 
The apartment is conceived as a sequence of interconnected spaces that can be crossed through multiple routes. Most rooms include both an entrance and an exit, allowing residents to move cyclically around the home...

YEREVAN, ARMENIA—More than 600 miles of water-management features have been identified in Armenia at the site of the Urartian city of Argishtikhinili using satellite imagery and digital terrain models, according to a Science in Poland report. Nazarij Buławka and Krzysztof Jakubiak of the University of Warsaw and Inessa Karapetyan of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia determined that the construction of the irrigation system some 2,700 years ago had made farming possible in the dry Ararat Basin. Inscriptions on steles from the Kingdom of Urartu document five main canals that supplied water to the city of Argishtikhinili, and the surrounding fields, orchards, and vineyards, to support...

Liubo game board SHAANXI PROVINCE, CHINA—Two Liubo game boards carved into square bricks have been found in two Han Dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220) tombs in Xi’an, an ancient capital city in central China, according to The Greek Reporter. The rules of the game are not completely understood, but each player is thought to have controlled six game pieces by throwing sticks or dice. One of the game boards is carved on an otherwise plain brick, while the other is on a brick adorned with a geometric pattern. Most of the other known Liubo game boards were made of lacquered wood or stone. It is not clear if these boards were ever used, since they may have been intended to be symbolic versions of the game for burial....

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...

“Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being,” philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre posited in Being and Nothingness, published in 1943. It’s in this book that he also shares an anecdote about stepping into a cafe, where he was to meet a friend. In scanning the room with its other patrons, furniture, and noise, he was tuned into the fact that his friend was not there, an experience infused with an acute awareness—an absence that transformed into a kind of presence. Architects of Absence, a group exhibition at Gallery Wendi Norris, plumbs this dialogue between two seemingly contradictory elements. Colossal readers may recognize the work of Dabin Ahn, Selva Aparicio, and Remedios Varo (1908-1963)...

Between April 1 and 10 of this year, NASA’s Artemis II mission made history as four astronauts flew farther from Earth than anyone has ever traveled before. With state-of-the-art technology and numerous cameras onboard, the crew captured some of the most striking images we’ve seen of our planet as the flight path led them around our iconic satellite. Lenses attached to the exterior of the spacecraft, plus numerous photographers stationed on the ground during the launch, documented the literally out-of-the-this world process of rocketing through the planet’s atmosphere and keeping course around the moon. John D. Boswell, a musician and filmmaker who works as MELODYSHEEP, created a cinematic short film...

The New Museum will stage the largest survey of Arthur Jafa's career, featuring films alongside new installations, paintings, sculptures and photography.

Common Objects brings together the work of 97 photographers from across the globe to explore the role of the image and its ability to shape perception. Organized not by theme or geography but by visual association, the book draws on the logic of the reference catalog—a structure built for sustained, democratic looking. Within it, photographs from vastly different cultures and contexts find themselves in unexpected proximity, generating connections and contrasts that no single image could produce alone. In this format, the photographs enter into a subtle dialogue with one another, revealing how context, sequence, and framing shape interpretation and inform visual experience.

All’interno dell’ex edificio industriale dell’Espace Monte-Cristo, nel quartiere del Père-Lachaise a Parigi, Diseuses de silence si configura come un dispositivo espositivo che non si limita a tematizzare il silenzio, ma lo assume come condizione epistemologica, come forma differenziale della percezione e come campo di tensione tra visibile e dicibile. Ospitata nella sede parigina della Fondation Villa Datris, istituzione fondata nel 2011 da Danièle Marcovici e Tristan Fourtine e dedicata alla promozione della scultura contemporanea in senso espanso, la mostra si inserisce in una traiettoria curatoriale che concepisce la scultura non più come oggetto, ma come ambiente percettivo, struttura relazionale...

From portraits taken around Harlem in the 1940s to assignments for Life magazine to the 1963 March on Washington, Gordon Parks (1912-2006) wielded his camera as a tool for social justice. He captured civil rights activists like Malcom X and Martin Luther King, Jr. in addition to artists and celebrities such as Helen Frankenthaler and Ingrid Bergman. But he may be best known for his candid portraits of families and communities in the segregated South during the era of Jim Crow. All of these and more will be on view in Voices in the Mirror at Jack Shainman Gallery in mid-September, also marking the 20th anniversary of The Gordon Parks Foundation. Parks was spurred to pursue photography in 1937 after seeing...

Il principio della sottrazione è il centro attorno al quale si articola la nuova mostra dell’artista Marco Rèa (Roma, 1975), intitolata “Silence is” allestita alla Street Levels Gallery di Firenze. Il principio della sottrazione affonda le sue radici in concetti autentici e lineari legati all’esistenza e alla visione della realtà. Lo stesso Italo Calvino in “Lezioni Americane” definisce la sottrazione come uno strumento concreto per alleggerire il peso del mondo, lasciando integra la sua sostanza. Rèa, con le sue creazioni, attinge da oltre vent’anni a un percorso che attraversa i confini tra street art, sistema dell’immagine e ricerca visiva contemporanea.
