lakeside Ashui Pavilion floats in hanoi
 
The Ashui Pavilion by H&P Architects sits beside a lake in Hanoi, shaping a curved timber-and-tile structure that draws the city’s attention back to water.
 
Hanoi’s landscape has shifted over decades, with lakes and canals giving way to paved surfaces. The pavilion responds to this condition by placing water at the center of its spatial experience. Set partly within a shallow basin, the structure meets the surface directly and allows reflections to double its presence and extend its geometry outward.

In his poem “My Heart Leaps Up” (1802), William Wordsworth writes: “My heart leaps up when I behold/ A rainbow in the sky … The Child is father of the Man.” The subjective “I” was central to his poetry, as opposed to the self-erasing perspective of another English Romantic poet, John Keats. Over time, the “I” of Wordsworth, who famously defined poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings … recollected in tranquility,” morphed into the existential angst of the Abstract Expressionist “I.” Spontaneous gestures replaced peaceful recollections.Jasper Johns seemed to reject the tortured, in-the-moment “I” of Abstract Expressionism, ironically commenting on the heroism...

In 1512, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I commissioned German printmaker Albrecht Dürer to create a work of imperial propaganda for display on palace walls and city halls. Known in its time as Maximilian’s “Arch of Honor” and referred to now as the “Triumphal Arch,” the multi-paneled woodcut print, measuring approximately 13 feet (four meters) high, is one of the largest such works ever made. Dürer relied on an entire studio of assistants, students, carvers, and advisors to help him craft the work over a period of more than two years. The New York Public Library (NYPL) possesses several panels of a 1515 first edition, which have been on view at the library since the Polonsky Treasures exhibition...

A long-lost Estonian Iron-Age fortification has been found, according to Arkeonews. While 19th-century written accounts and oral traditions had long hinted at its existence, the 2000-year-old hillfort was identified this month by archaeologists at the University of Tartu using high-resolution terrain mapping tools. The find, located at Köstrimägi in Tartu County, provides insight into early settlements in the Balkan region. Apparently occupied for only a short period of time, it appears to have been built during a turbulent period era in the region’s history. The fort’s archictecture is unusual. Covering approximately 16,000 square feet, it is larger than most early hillforts in southern Estonia. It is...

New research published in the journal American Antiquity last week posits that the first dice appeared more than 12,000 years ago, much earlier than previously believed. Made by Native Americans, the Pleistocene-era pieces predate all other archeological findings of dice, most of which come from the Bronze Age, by over 6,000 years. Dice represent a recognition of randomness; tools that wield unpredictability. “At the end of the last Ice Age, these are not the people we think are going to be diving into complex intellectual concepts. But they seem to be doing exactly that,” Colorado State University archaeologist Robert J. Madden, the author of the study, told Hyperallergic.Madden’s study is primarily...

A rarely seen portrait from Wifredo Lam's early career has landed in the Hispanic Society Museum and Library's collection, making it the first painting by a Cuban artist to enter the institution's permanent holdings. Painted in 1927, Lam's “Portrait of a Boy” exemplifies his brief but impressionable time spent in the Spanish city of Cuenca. In a phone call with Hyperallergic, the museum's Director and CEO Guillaume Kientz said that he had never seen the painting before, as it only recently emerged from a private collection in its city of origin late last year during Sotheby's Modern Day Auction. In tiny, hand-painted text above Lam's signature are the words “para...

Siri Aurdal, a Norwegian sculptor and painter who elevated industrial materials into sleek expressions of art’s social imperative, died on March 31. She was 88. Galleri Riis, her representative, announced her death on social media, writing that she died in Oslo surrounded by friends and family. Though born in 1937 to two prominent Scandinavian artists—Synnøve Anker Aurdal (1908–2000), a textile artist who represented Norway at the 1982 Venice Biennale, and painter Leon Aurdal (1890–1949)—Siri Aurdal forged a visual identity uniquely her own within the Scandinavian art scene of the late 1960s. A core concern of her practice was the potential for change in people, places, and materials—a...

During China’s Bronze Age (c. 2070 – 771 B.C.), the durable alloy was an indispensable resource, central to the development of early Chinese civilization. Under the Zia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, China developed advanced metallurgy techniques and, along with them, systems for managing them at scale. The Bronze age in China was thus not only characterized by its bronze tools and weaponry, but by its advanced social and political structures. As reported in the China Daily, excavations over the last two years at the Shenduntou archeological site near the Yangtze River have unearthed around 1,000 artifacts linked to the bronze industry under the Zhou dynasty. While more modest than the ritual bronze vessels...

ANTWERP PROVINCE, BELGIUM—Layers of rubble from earlier phases of construction were discovered underneath Saint Rumbold’s Cathedral in northern Belgium’s city of Mechelen, according to a Belgian News Agency report. Construction of the current church began in the early thirteenth century. Beneath the floor of the cathedral's northern section, archaeologists found pottery and construction materials dating to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The materials indicate that major alterations were made to the cathedral at that time. Beneath these layers, researchers uncovered an outer wall dating to the thirteenth or fourteenth century. An even earlier wall section, which had a different orientation, may...

Visible accumulations of stone artifacts at the Jojosi site, South Africa TÜBINGEN, GERMANY—According to a statement released by the University of Tübingen, evidence of quarrying some 220,000 years ago has been discovered at the Jojosi site in eastern South Africa by a team of researchers led by Manuel Will of the University of Tübingen. It had been previously thought that early modern humans found stones for making tools incidentally as they looked for food. Team member Gunther Möller reassembled more than 350 rock fragments recovered from the site into “refits,” or stones that had been broken apart by knapping. “With these 3D puzzles, we were able to see precisely where and how material was...

hand-traced stone silhouettes build Wenbin Li’s graphic system
 
A collection of 100 stones gathered along a coastline forms the basis of Numerous Difference, a project by Wenbin Li that translates natural forms into a graphic identity system. The stones were collected sequentially along the shoreline without selection or categorisation. Each object was numbered on site, and its exact position along the waterline was recorded.
 
In the studio, the designer hand-traced the outline of each stone, generating a set of 100 unique silhouettes. These forms serve as the foundation for a graphic system applied across multiple formats, including posters, packaging, a billboard, and a tote bag. The shapes, defined by...

At year’s end, Madeleine Grynsztejn will leave her post after 18 years as director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, which bills itself as one of the world’s largest museums devoted to the art of today. The museum, which launched in 1967 with a Fluxus happening by John Cage, Dick Higgins, and Allison Knowles, soon expanded its mission to collecting, and its holdings have now grown to include over 2,000 pieces. One early claim to fame: It was the first US building to be wrapped by legendary artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, in 1969. Grynsztejn looks back on a tenure in which she oversaw a doubling of the museum’s operating budget. Major gifts included one from Greek collector Dimitris...

custom portable retro lo-fi player with cassette tape
 
Iulius Curt creates a custom portable retro player with a cassette tape that records lo-fi songs from streaming apps and smartphones. In a nutshell, the user’s smartphone sends music wirelessly to the machine, which then records it onto a moving loop of tape, the same way a cassette worked in the 1980s. Then, a second read head picks the sound back up a moment later and plays it through a speaker. This machine starts its life as a Privileg TC 183, a mid-weight Japanese cassette deck. The designer kept the recording circuitry, from the bias oscillator and erase head to the tape equalisation, because redesigning those from scratch would have taken...

For the first time in more than 50 years, NASA launched a mission to the Moon. A lot has changed since 1972, when we last checked in on the enormous, rocky satellite, but there is much to learn—and revisit—when it comes to traveling through deep space and considering what, as NASA describes it, a “long-term return” to our lunar companion could look like. The Artemis II mission, which is currently underway and scheduled to last a total of 10 days, has also released some remarkable images of our home planet. A striking image of the Earth “setting” behind the cratered Moon takes a truly unique view of our planet and prompts us to consider our perspective. It’s reminiscent of one of the most iconic...

Michelangelo Pistoletto rethinks coexistence in ‘Three Mirrors’
 
Michelangelo Pistoletto presents Three Mirrors (2026), a moving image commission created in collaboration with public art platform CIRCA and broadcast daily across nine global city screens at 20:26 local time, running through June 30th, 2026. Filmed at Cittadellarte in Biella, the foundation Pistoletto established as a space for rethinking the role of art in society, the work extends one of the artist’s most enduring ideas, presenting the mirror not as image, but as an opening. Here, at the age of 92, Pistoletto returns to the act of drawing directly onto mirrored steel, transforming it into a time-based and performative sequence that...

When we think of Los Angeles, we often picture seemingly endless sunny skies, postmodern downtown skyscrapers, Hollywood, and beachy enclaves like Venice. But there’s also a mysterious, lurking side of Los Angeles popularized by legendary gangsters like Mickey Cohen and the hardboiled novels of Raymond Chandler, published between the 1930s and 1950s. For Emmy award-winning director and photographer Daniel Sackheim, this gritty, shadowy underbelly lends itself to a series of bold black-and-white photos that highlight the noir valence of this iconic hub. His forthcoming book, The City Unseen, leans into L.A.’s dualities, focusing on historic buildings, trains, and individuals walking through urban spaces....

There is a certain kind of clarity that only comes from walking. Moving through the streets of Paris recently, the rhythm of my steps accompanied by a favorite podcast playing in my ears, I found myself captivated by the idea that our reality is inherently unfinished. The world around us is always in a state of becoming, constantly leaning toward what German philosopher Ernst Bloch articulated as the the Not-Yet (Noch-Nicht). It is a concept that perfectly anchors the spirit of our new chapter, and it immediately brought to mind something Rainer Maria Rilke wrote in Letters to a Young Poet: ‘The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.’
For so long, we have treated...

Spring in London brings a wave of artistic innovation, and none more compelling than the archival exhibition of Senga Nengudi at Whitechapel Gallery. Running from 1 April to 14 June, the show offers a glimpse into the work of an artist whose practice spans sculpture, performance and choreography. Nengudi’s work exists at the intersection of the corporeal and the sculptural, exploring the elasticity of materials, the rhythms of movement and the lived experience of the body. Through photographs, films and archival material, the exhibition illuminates the experimentation that defined her most productive period between 1972 and 1982. It is an opportunity to encounter a body of work both historically significant...

C’è una frase di San Giovanni Crisostomo, pronunciata nel 362 d.C., che parla della prossimità dei fedeli ai corpi dei martiri, di cosa significa stare vicini a qualcosa di sacro, di quanto quella vicinanza trasformi chi la abita.

Researcher Michelle McKeown of University College Cork explores the surface of the midden island off the coast of Culasawani, Fiji. QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA—According to a Phys.org report, a study of a small island in the Fiji archipelago led by Patrick D. Nunn of the University of the Sunshine Coast determined that it consists of shellfish remains and fragments of pottery. Nunn and his team members examined four test pits and 20 narrow core samples taken from different areas of the shell island, which covers less than an acre. Radiocarbon dating of clam shells in the samples indicates that they are about 1,200 years old. Early settlers of the Fiji Islands, who arrived around A.D. 760, are thought to have...

Papyrus fragment P.

The work of Empedocles had been known only through quotes recorded by later authors, such as Plato, Aristotle, and Plutarch. Papyrologist Nathan Carlig of the University of Liège realized that the papyrus fragment, labeled P. Fouad inv. 218, was an unknown fragment of Physica, a poem written by Empedocles.

This edition’s theme, Powered by Defects, pays a contemporary tribute to the large and small wrongdoings in the world.  Dedicated to painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516), the biannual parade honors the artist’s fascination with the fantastical and absurd. Bosch is known for his symbolic paintings, often tying in gruesome representations of the afterlife and human desire and fear. He is also regarded as one of the earliest genre painters, depicting common...

Intimacy is never simple. It is a tension between visibility and concealment, between the everyday and the exceptional, a fragile architecture of perception and emotion. In Under the Sunlight, There is No True Intimacy, No.223 charts this territory with a lens that hovers between observation and empathy, illuminating moments that are at once fleeting and enduring. Desire is the undercurrent of the work, a force that navigates social expectation while asserting private freedom. The exhibition evokes the pulse of life in its subtle rhythms: a glance exchanged in a sunlit corner, the quiet geometry of bodies in motion, the way urban and natural spaces seem to whisper with latent meaning. These photographs do not...

Mark Rothko (Daugavpils, 1903 – New York, 1970) è uno degli artisti più iconici del Novecento: oltre ad aver rivoluzionato la storia della pittura in quanto riferimento imprescindibile per una certa e ben frequentata linea di ricerca astratta, il suo linguaggio ha mantenuta intatta la sua vitalità con il passare del tempo. Al di là di ogni considerazione storicizzante, il suo lavoro è capace di suscitare oggi le stesse emozioni e lo stesso coinvolgimento del periodo in cui era una novità dirompente. A distanza di quasi vent’anni dall’ultima retrospettiva istituzionale a lui dedicata in Italia (6/10/2007 – 6/01/2008 al Palazzo delle Esposizioni di Roma), l’artista è al centro di un altro...

Five video works by Angelica Mesiti (b. 1976) are now on view at Museum Tinguely in Basel. It’s the first comprehensive solo show of the Paris-based artist to open in Switzerland. Mesiti has worked at the intersection of performance, sound and video since the early 2000s, creating pieces that explore the ways in which nonverbal communication – like dance, music and movement – can build connections between people. It’s an approach that has led to international recognition, including representing Australia – her home country – at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019. Museum Tinguely’s exhibition is, fittingly, called Reverb – in reference to both acoustic reverberation, and the way human...

Arte cinetica – un omaggio di Ferruccio Gard a Vasarely è una mostra nata da una coincidenza significativa: il 2026 segna i 120 anni dalla nascita di Victor Vasarely, padre dell’Op Art, e i 50 anni della Fondation Vasarely, istituzione che continua a custodire e diffondere la sua eredità.

Architecture, memory and the poetics of concrete converge in Brutal Scotland, an exhibition that situates post-war modernism within a broader cultural and emotional terrain. At its core, the show interrogates how built environments embody ideological ambition, social rupture and aesthetic endurance. Photography here becomes not merely documentary but interpretive. The tension between decay and resilience runs throughout, suggesting that these structures are far from static relics. Instead, they operate as living documents of a nation’s evolving identity. In this sense, the exhibition positions Brutalism as a lens through which to reconsider histories of progress, failure and reinvention. Emerging from this...

Nel contemporaneo, l’emersione di un’opera dipende dalle trame che ne governano accesso e trasmissione epistemica. Curatori, istituzioni, fiere e mecenati formano un ecosistema di validazione di rilevanza che decide quali espressioni affiorano e quali restano ai margini. L’interpretazione della statura intellettuale e la ricezione sociale derivano dal rapporto tra gli agenti, procedure e strumenti coordinati, favorendo il rafforzamento di una egemonia nella sfera performativa.

Basterebbe una sola frase per donare la chiave di lettura alla mostra personale di Flaviu Cacoveanu presso Parliament Gallery, a Parigi. Una frase con chiarezza semplice e potente esprime il concetto che si potrebbe dire essere alla base di ogni suo lavoro esposto: “Quello che si può osservare può significare diverse cose, ma ciò che importa davvero è cosa significano per te”. Così si presenta Conceptual Play, una mostra che, giocando con gli elementi della vita quotidiana, finisce per interrogare continuamente l’osservatore, facendolo ragionare sulla realtà che lo circonda e sulla vita stessa.
