quadrum studio turns a girls’ gymnasium into a retail-café space
 
VOKRUG PODRUG is a combined coffee shop and concept store in Penza, Russia, designed by Quadrum Studio within a historic building that originally housed a girls’ gymnasium in the early twentieth century. The structure, now recognized as an architectural monument, retains its original brickwork, which remained untouched during construction interventions.
 
The project brings together two programs, hospitality and retail, within a unified spatial identity defined by a monochromatic pink palette. Variations of pink are applied across surfaces and materials, establishing visual continuity from the entrance throughout the interior. The design...

palcosole open air stage inclines according to setting sun
 
Palcosole is an open air stage designed for community performances in the Apennine hills south of Bologna, Italy. The timber structure provides a reversible platform for cultural events and reinforces the clearing’s established role as a place for shared experience. Designed by studio GRRIZ, the main canopy inclines at exactly 30 degrees to trace the arc of a descending half sun. This civic gesture transforms a historic outdoor gathering space into a lightweight cultural infrastructure, assembled entirely without permanent fixings and removable without a trace.
 
The plan follows proportional rules derived from the Golden Section and the...

Money manufacturers the world over are forever contending with counterfeiters. Before the U.K. introduced a new pound coin in 2017, for example, the earlier version was easy enough to fake that there were tens of millions of fraudulent copies in circulation. The same goes for paper bank notes, which over the years have been printed with increasingly high-tech features such as holograms, watermarks, and distinctive material blends. More recently, many countries have also implemented plastic coatings. Banque de France, a central money-producing outfit in Europe, has adopted a technology called EverFit, which includes a polymer coating on cotton-blend notes that increases durability. Every year, up to three...

‘Abstract Landscape’ Shapes Daixi Cultural Sports Complex
 
Located in Daixi Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou, China, the Daixi Culture, Sports and Commercial Complex by Minax Architects addresses the loss of local identity caused by rapid urban modernization. Positioned between the Tianmu Mountains and Taihu Lake, the town historically embodied the spatial qualities of both mountainous and waterside landscapes. However, recent urban upgrades lacked distinctive cultural references and adequate public facilities. In 2020, a centrally located plot, bordered by two schools and divided by a north-south river featuring a preserved Qing Dynasty stone bridge, was designated for a comprehensive public building....

L-Shaped White Brick volume outlines Rosa Parks School Group
 
Rosa Parks School Complex by Brenac & Gonzalez & Associés is located within the Gratte-Ciel ZAC, a large-scale urban renewal project redefining the center of Villeurbanne, France. Positioned at the entrance to the future district, the building establishes a transition between planned developments to the west and the existing urban fabric to the east.

Artist Tod Lippy has been following reports about art world figures who maintained friendships and correspondence with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—even after his crimes were public—and been left with the nagging sense that the consequences have been too mild. Billionaire collector Leon Black still sits on the board of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, for example, as does Ronald Lauder. Some have stepped down—French museum director Jack Lang resigned his post, as did School of Visual Arts chair and former museum director David A. Ross—but for Lippy, the penalties haven’t gone far enough. So on Saturday morning, as hordes descend on the Santa Monica Airport for the latest edition...

Diya Vij, a curator and current vice president of curatorial and arts programmes at Powerhouse Arts, has been picked to be New York City’s next Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) commissioner, sources with knowledge of the pick told ARTnews. The New York Times confirmed the news on Saturday. Considered to be one of the most important jobs in the city’s arts ecosystem, the commissioner is a hotly watched role whenever a new mayor enters office. The DCA is the largest municipal funder of the arts in the US and provides funding to over 800 cultural organizations throughout the city’s five boroughs. Last fiscal year, the DCA provided $245 million in funding. Naturally, the ascension of Mayor Zohran...

Artist Cara Romero (b. 1977) is an enrolled citizen of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe. She has spent much of her life between the contrasting settings of the rural Chemehuevi reservation in Mojave Desert, California, and the urban sprawl of Houston, Texas. Romero’s visual storytelling is informed by this identity, representing Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultural memory, countering dominant narratives of Native American experiences and showcasing the diversity within Indigenous nations and communities. Phoenix Art Museum presents a landmark display of the photographer’s work, representing the first major museum exhibition dedicated solely to her oeuvre. Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light) features...

Just north of Cusco in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a small studio draws on ancient Peruvian traditions. The town of Urubamba is home to Ceramicas Seminarios, a workshop founded by husband and wife Pablo Seminario and Marilú Behar in 1980. For decades, the pair and their team have been crafting sculptures, functional wares, and decorative objects rooted in the culture of the valley. As a child, Seminario was fascinated by huacos, pre-Columbian ceramic works often utilized for Andean rituals and ceremonies rather than everyday life. This interest developed throughout his university years and beyond, as he researched the various techniques and designs that characterized Peru’s ancient cultures. Seminario...

This week, we've got one drama after another. Beleaguered Louvre president Laurence des Cars quits after a historic heist under her watch. The next morning, a new leader is announced. It's Christophe Leribault from the Palace of Versailles, a true museum animal who ran a few during his career. Meanwhile, the Berlinale turns into a shitshow because of Germany's old penchant for censorship. We watched legends like Wim Wenders get tied up in knots at a press conference, saying dumb things like, "We have to stay out of politics." Chomsky broke our hearts first, and then Wenders followed.

Water has long operated as both mirror and medium in contemporary art, a site where aesthetics meet ethics and where planetary narratives unfold with unsettling clarity. In the context of climate crisis, the ocean becomes a charged archive, recording histories of extraction, exploration and ecological fragility. Julian Charrière’s Midnight Zone arrives with provocation, inviting viewers to descend into a realm that is at once materially remote and conceptually urgent. His exhibition proposes immersion as a mode of thought, asking us to consider how knowledge is shaped by depth, darkness and the limits of perception. Rather than offering spectacle for its own sake, the artist frames water as a living...

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Yesterday, February 26, Frieze LA kicked off with an exceptionally crowded opening and a reportedly brisk first day of sales at Santa Monica Airport. However, alongside the blue-chip paintings and emerging artists on view, the fair also illustrated — intentionally or not — issues being confronted outside of the tent, such as class, labor, and immigration. It made palpable the tension between the kind of capitalism that the art fair represents and which our art ecosystem rests upon — and indeed which artists need to survive — and the progressive values that many in the art world profess to support. Against such a backdrop, what is the role of the art fair?Outside the tent,...

Despite the many books and exhibitions on photographer Lisette Model, her largest body of work was a well-kept secret: more than a thousand photographs of the East Coast jazz scene taken between the early 1940s and 1959. Model didn’t just dabble in jazz — she dove into it, capturing greats like Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie as they lit up a sparkling musical universe. How and why, then, did these images from such an esteemed photographer remain hidden until today? Audrey Sands, associate curator of Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, uncovers this grim tale of government repression in Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (2025), a...

Giancarlo Politi, publisher, art critic, and founder of Flash Art, one of the most  influential contemporary art magazines to emerge from Europe’s postwar era, died on February 24. He was 89. News of his death was first reported in the Italian-language press.  Founded in 1967 in Rome, Flash Art was among the first regularly published magazines dedicated exclusively to art criticism—and one of the earliest to circulate internationally. Over decades, it expanded to include editions in French, Polish, Chinese, Spanish, German and Russian-language editions. Yet each edition sought to map the art world as an interlinked entity, presenting it not as a scatter of far-flung scenes but as a constellation of...

Amsterdam-based fashion brand Scotch & Soda released a collection this week that is inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and features some of the artist’s work. The collection is a partnership with the Basquiat estate, via the global licensing agency Artestar. In a press release, Scotch & Soda said that like Basquiat, who is best known for bold paintings featuring dozens of different figures and colors in energetic and at times chaotic compositions that drew inspiration from 1980s “New York City’s rich culture,” it too draws from “the vibrant culture of Amsterdam as an ever-evolving source of inspiration.” The collection, first announced last year, offers options in both men’s, women’s, and...

In May, the 2026 Venice Biennale, curated by the late Koyo Kouoh, will open with the theme In Minor Keys. In December 2025, the Israeli Ministry of Culture announced that Belu-Simion Fainaru will be representing Israel at the 61st International Art Exhibition. The Israeli Pavilion in the Giardini remains closed, supposedly for renovation, but the Biennale has made a very deliberate and demonstrative choice to allocate Israel a space in the Arsenale while its national pavilion is shut, instead of forcing them to seek an alternative space in the city or, like last year, during the Venice Biennale of Architecture, to not participate at all.In other words, the current administration of the Venice Biennale of Art...

The update was shared with faculty via an email from Steven Henry Madoff, who founded the department in 2013 and has been chair of the two-year program for the past 14 years. The sudden announcement follows years of financial difficulty for the New York art school. And, earlier this month, David A.

Who said parking garages were just for cars? British artist and color devotee Liz West has transformed a single floor of a typical concrete structure into an immersive chromatic environment fit for skating, dancing, and basking in a rainbow glow. To create “Our Colour,” West covered hundreds of existing lights in the Cabot Circus Car Park with pigmented theatre gels. Without its usual traffic, the space instead becomes an open canvas for the artist’s interest in experiencing color in a more direct and physical way. “Does colour change the way you feel? What does it feel like to be inside a rainbow? I was to invite visitors to drench themselves in the spectrum and allow them to question their individual...

BAGICZ, POLAND—Researchers led by Marta Chmiel-Chrzanowska of the University of Szczecin conducted dendrochronological analysis of a log coffin that eroded out of a cliff in northwestern Poland in 1899, according to a Live Science report. The coffin had been buried in a cemetery associated with the Wielbark culture. Tree-ring analysis indicates that the oak tree used for the coffin and its lid was cut down in A.D. 120, and that the coffin was carved immediately after the tree was felled. Previous studies of the contents of the coffin determined that it held the remains of a woman, dubbed the “Princess of Bagicz,” and grave goods, including a cowhide, a bronze pin, a necklace made with glass and amber...

GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR—According to a statement released by the Polytechnic School of the Coast, between 1,500 and 400 years ago, hunter-gatherers consumed guanaco, armadillo, birds, and large rodents at the site of Zoko Andi 1, which is located in Argentina’s transition zone between the Pampas and Patagonia. Gustavo Martínez of the National University of Central Buenos Aires and his colleagues determined that this use of the site is about 500 years earlier than previously thought. In addition to serving as a camp, the site may have been used for ritual purposes, since burials were also uncovered. This connection to ancestors may have continued to draw people to the site for centuries, the researchers...

MADISON, WISCONSIN—Tradition holds that the eldest son of Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire, founded the Golden Horde and was buried in Kazakhstan with his descendants. According to a statement released by the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison), an international team of researchers led by Ayken Askapuli of UW–Madison analyzed genomes taken from remains found in four Golden Horde tombs in Kazakhstan, and determined that their ancestors could be traced to the Mongolian plateau through their Y-chromosomes. “We saw evidence that their Y-chromosomes are part of a branch of the C3* cluster,” Askapuli said. Some 20 years ago, fragments of DNA on this C3* cluster were traced back to...

The artists featured in the Aesthetica Art Prize 2026 longlist create works that undoubtedly make this journey into the very essence of the sitter.

Nella sua seconda personale presso la Nicelle Beauchene Gallery di New York, intitolata The gifts, Quentin James McCaffrey costruisce un insieme di dipinti inseriti in ambienti orchestrati con cura, dove tappeti, bouquet, miniature, tendaggi e superfici riflettenti assumono un ruolo strutturale. Non si tratta di abitazioni, ma di configurazioni concettuali in cui ogni componente definisce proporzioni, angolazioni e traiettorie ottiche. L’ordine è essenziale e privo di ornamenti superflui, mentre l’illuminazione stabilisce legami e relazioni tra le forme.

The second cut on disc 39 of his most recent double album, “The Fall-Off Is Inevitable” unfolds J. Cole’s life and professional career through a backward-moving narrative. Directed by Palestinian-American filmmaker Ryan Doubiago, the track’s accompanying music video visually captures the feeling of reminiscence, as the rapper looks back on his journey thus far. Though each scene takes place within the same studio walls through a looping cycle, viewers move through a multitude of defining moments: a funeral scene, a wedding, writing music in solitude, and rewatching home videos from 1992. Because it’s shot on film, the grain and warm color grading strengthen the through line of nostalgia and memory....

Donna Gottschalk (b. 1949) grew up in the tenements of New York’s Lower East Side in the 1950s, where she spent much of her time wandering the streets and observing her neighbours. This backdrop, often violent and homophobic, shaped her and the way she saw the world: raw, real and up close. She began photographing as a teenager, at the same time she became involved in the early lesbian, trans and gay rights movements. Here, she turned the lens on the daily lives of her chosen family – friends, lovers, siblings and fellow activists. The result is a tender portrait of people living on the margins, at a time when gay relationships were still illegal in the US. We Others, on display at The Photographers’...

La mostra Onion di Michael Beutler, ospitata negli spazi di Pinksummer all’interno di Palazzo Ducale, a Genova, si configura come un ambiente esperienziale che lavora per sottrazione piuttosto che per accumulo. Più che presentare un insieme di opere da osservare, Beutler costruisce una situazione in cui il visitatore è invitato a rallentare e a rinegoziare il proprio rapporto con lo spazio e con il tempo, trasformando la fruizione in un atto intenzionale, fondato su una relazione diretta e non mediata con la struttura.

Cosa accade quando il disegno rinuncia a fissare l’apparenza statica delle cose per inseguire la dimensione processuale di un’azione in corso? Il disegno come pratica di registrazione del movimento umano è il fulcro della ricerca di Morgan O’Hara (Los Angeles, 1941), artista che fin dagli anni Ottanta ha sviluppato un metodo per trasformare la mano in strumento sismografico capace di catturare in tempo reale i flussi gestuali attraverso cui si manifesta la vitalità dei corpi in movimento.
