listening to soft signals from other lives
 
In a darkened gallery or a quiet park, sensors clamp onto leaves and roots, tiny electrodes or moisture meters, and suddenly the inaudible pulses of life become audible. A speaker crackles to life, mapping the subtle electrochemical flickers of the plant and translating to sound. A fern might hum with gentle sine-wave drones, a philodendron might trigger simple melodies or rhythmic pulses.
 
This is biosonification, the translation of biological data into sound, and it feels strangely intimate. Invisible fluctuations become ambient melodies, crackling pulses, harmonic textures, low atmospheric drones. Tiny changes in conductivity inside a leaf are transformed into...

A group of House Democrats will ntroduce legislation aimed at stopping President Donald Trump’s proposed triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, opening a new front in the growing battle over the administration’s efforts to reshape some of the nation’s most visible public monuments. Representatives Don Beyer (D-Va.) and Dina Titus (D-Nev.) announced this week that they will introduce the Arlington National Cemetery Viewshed Protection Act, which would explicitly prohibit construction of the proposed arch and bar the use of federal funds for the project. The legislation follows a recent vote by Trump appointees on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approving designs for the monument.  The Trump...

The Pollock sucks up the oxygen. It is the lead story — important, yes, but also misleading. $181.2 million for a great Pollock, wisely held back until the market could carry it. More astonishing, in some ways, than the $451 million Leonardo, which had its own issues and was painted several centuries ago. This Pollock was made in my lifetime.Not just the Pollock, but a $107.6 million Brancusi. Much of Christie’s evening sale went smoothly, exuberant and beautifully orchestrated. But not so fast. For in this $1.1 billion evening sale, the number of artworks that hammered below low estimate or went unsold was substantial, roughly 30%, including big-ticket items like Agnes Gund’s Twombly. Plus, many had...

Nicola Florimbi, "Art Class" (2026), acrylic on canvas (all photos courtesy Corbett vs. Dempsey)CHICAGO — In our media-saturated world, in which everything has been seen and done, leaving us in a perpetual déjà vu state of witty citations, exhumed tropes, or dazzling fabrications, it’s rare to be surprised by an artist’s debut exhibition. There are many reasons why I was instantly taken by the acrylic paintings in Nicola Florimbi’s Rooms at Corbett vs. Dempsey. The first was the absence of irony in her subject matter — depictions of individuals interacting in settings that seem both out of time and of this moment. This is one of the many engaging paradoxes of Florimbi’s work. There are 10...

Pattie Gonia accused the Patagonia brand of attempting to “erase an activist” by suing her for attempting to trademark her name. (photo Mitchell Overton, all courtesy Pattie Gonia)Activists and LGBTQ+ advocates are voicing public outrage against the outerwear brand Patagonia after it sued the drag queen Pattie Gonia for trademark infringement. Pattie Gonia, the drag persona of Oregon-based LGBTQ+ and environmental activist Wyn Wiley, took to Instagram this week to accuse the company of attempting to “erase an activist” when it sued her in January for the meager sum of $1 plus attorneys' fees. Those fees would add up to around $1 million, according to Pattie Gonia. The drag queen claims to have...

The mad dash between subway lines in Brooklyn’s Borough Hall subway station has just gotten a little more colorful. In the corridor connecting the 2, 3, 4, and 5 subway lines, Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze’s mosaic “May Your Road Be Light and Fun” (2026) will now envelop passersby across a 110-foot leg of their journey.  MTA Arts & Design announced the new installation on May 28, as a joint project between Amanze and Miotto Mosaic Art Studios, a workshop based 50 miles north of New York City. In an array of glazed and matte ceramic pieces, Amanze’s drawings are brought from the paper to tiled underground walls. "May Your Road Be Light and Fun" (2026) (© ruby onyinyechi amanze, NYCT Borough Hall, MTA...

Toronto-based Kurdish artist Roda Medhat pushes the boundaries of fabric into the realm of sculpture, exploring the ways in which traditional West Asian textiles can be translated into various media. As digital fabrication and 3D scanning cross paths with memory and material, Medhat’s practice asks “how we carry our stories, and what happens when those stories are translated into new, synthetic languages?” The artist’s new solo exhibition, titled From the Loom, fills Toronto’s Abbozzo Gallery with large-scale sculptures in conversation with a new series of textile works. Known in part for his neon installations, the artist also presents several glowing light-based works encased within glass or...

What are the bodily characteristics that make a city? That is what I was thinking about while walking through the Bronx Documentary Center's exhibition Martha Cooper: Streetwise. Martha Cooper is perhaps best known for documenting New York City’s graffiti and breaking culture in the early 1980s, though this exhibition offers a survey of her career from the late 1970s through 2010s in New York, Baltimore, Tokyo, and the South African Township of Soweto. Still, I found myself drawn to Cooper's images of the city, because they inspired me to think deeply on the physical experience of living here. One of the works that opens the exhibition is “Cops patrolling on the number # 1 line Harlem” (1981),...

Anthony Haden-Guest says nearly 100 of his cartoons have spent the past 15 years hanging in a Hamptons mansion owned by socialite and collector Libbie Mugrabi. Now he wants them back. In a lawsuit filed this week in New York State Supreme Court, first reported by the New York Post, the veteran critic, cartoonist, and fixture of New York society accused Mugrabi of refusing to return 97 original drawings that were allegedly entrusted to her for a planned exhibition that never took place. The complaint alleges that roughly 15 years ago Haden-Guest provided the drawings to Mugrabi for a show at her Southampton home. Under the arrangement, according to the filing, the works would be framed at Mugrabi’s expense,...

On July 1, London museumgoers will get a first look at a painting by Leonora Carrington not seen in over 80 years. The 1940 painting, titled Villa Pillar, will appear in “The Symptomatic Surreal” an exhibition at the Freud Museum tracing Carrington’s development from 1938 to 1941 through her sketchbook drawings and letters. The exhibition had previously opened in March and has been extended to run through August 10. A British-born Mexican Surrealist artist, Carrington has gained recognition thanks to a surge in attention towards women surrealists, a trend formalized with the 2022 Venice Biennale, curated by Cecilia Alemani with the title “The Milk of Dreams,” after a book by Carrington.

OVER THE PAST DECADE, Julio Torres has perfected the art of curatorial comedy, a term I’ve just coined. This is a highly sophisticated brand of object-oriented, narrativized humor whose deadpan subtlety makes it categorically distinct from the blunt physicality of straight-male-dominated prop comedy. Ultimately a mode of ekphrasis, Torres’s approach recalls a precocious child opening […]

You’ve heard of Johannes Vermeer’s ca. 1665 painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, long housed at the Mauritshuis in the Hague and soon to visit Japan this summer. Now, prepare for the latest art history–inspired sensation. Call it Miffy with a Pearl Earring. Unfortunately for him, Vermeer died in 1675, well before Miffy came into being, but the Dutch Old Master has lent his mark to these plush toys, with his Girl with a Pearl Earring now spawning one adorned with a glowing bauble, a turban, and a brown dress à la the outfit worn by the young woman in that famed painting. This week, the Vermeer-influenced rabbit toy went viral on X, where users can’t stop expressing their admiration for it. This Miffy...

Some of the most exciting designs emerging from the world of sustainable fashion are those utilizing uncommon materials. There are gowns sculpted with grass roots, sequins made from algae, and electrical wires woven into lace. Now, researchers and designers at Aalto University can add another unusual substance to that list: the remains of a 300-year-old wooden shipwreck. In 2019, a hotel in the Finnish city of Oulu undertook renovations that uncovered a 17th-century vessel buried beneath a parking lot. Called the Hahtiperä wreck, the finding was the oldest of its kind in this region, prompting conservators to raise the seven-by-20-meter ship for preservation. A few fragments remained, though, and researchers...

A Crafted Shelter emerges from japanese island for NOT A HOTEl
 
V Taller proposes A Crafted Shelter, a retreat embedded within the primordial landscape of Yakushima, Japan, for the 2026 NOT A HOTEL Design Competition. The team conceives this project as an extension of the dense forests, persistent rainfall, and exposed geological formations that characterize the island. Drawing from Yakushima’s monumental rock outcrops and layered terrain, the proposal rises from a stone plinth that appears to grow directly from the site.
 
The project is organized around a monolithic stone core that anchors the structure while defining its spatial sequence. Carved within this weight-bearing volume, a circular staircase...

Looking at the collection all together, dotting the walls in shocks of pink and green, it looks as though Yuskavage has produced in each canvas, a zone of contemplation over the fundamental elements of the craft itself.

Opening on 21 June, Directionless unfolds as a sweeping artist-led exhibition across Hauser & Wirth Menorca and the island landscape of Illa del Rei. Disorientation sits at the centre of the project, shaping both structure and tone. Contemporary practice is framed as a way of moving through instability rather than resolving it. The island becomes a field where architecture, coastline and light reconfigure perception. Meaning forms through proximity between works, site and viewer rather than through a fixed narrative. The exhibition is organised by Rashid Johnson, an American artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, film and installation, and who is widely recognised for his...

Layers of colored pencil and marble dust worked into an oil-like substance flood the linen planes on which Marin Majic works. The Brooklyn-based artist builds upon a foundational drawing, blending various media into a richly textured surface resembling fabric or plaster. Matte finishes radiate across the scenes, appearing like magical glimmers under a night sky. Steeped in mystery, Majic’s works gravitate toward questions of power, impermanence, and the slippery nature of reality. Figures are often alone, whether swimming solo or driving along a mountain pass with no other cars in sight. Insects and animals are similar, although in pieces like “Negative attention,” we’re witness to the demise of the...

Six years in the making, Christina Mrozik’s new project tackles “the feelings of all things.” Fifty cards comprise the richly illustrated oracle deck, which delves into a vast emotional terrain through the artist’s distinctive visual metaphors of flora and fauna. Monochromatic in palette and surreal in subject matter, the individual works portray a variety of curious pairings from twin turtles with eyes nested into their shells to a bird speared by a spindly tree to a lily pad bursting from an open alligator jaw. “Each drawing took between 20 to 40 hours of focused work,” Mrozik writes. “I built every image in layers—starting with rough sketches, researching forms, refining the composition, and...

Lee Shulman (b. 1973) collects images that were never meant for public view. He collates abandoned slides, assembling what is now one of the largest private archives of analogue amateur photography in the world. The Anonymous Project began in 2017, when the artist bought a random box of vintage Kodachrome, and “completely fell in love with the people and stories he discovered in these unique windows into our past lives.” Shulman reanimates these personal documents, weaving them into narratives that explore memory, family, love and cultural shifts across generations. His motivation is a rescue mission: a conviction that these modest items hold something too valuable to be allowed to fade away. This summer,...

Christo (1935–2020) never treated space as neutral. Across a practice developed in tandem with Jeanne-Claude, he recast it as something provisional – something that could be tightened, sealed, withheld or briefly made strange. Born in Bulgaria and later based in Paris, his early years under political constraint shaped a lifelong interest in restriction as material condition. What might appear, at first glance, as acts of concealment were in fact acts of disclosure: buildings wrapped, coastlines interrupted, monuments turned temporarily unreadable. In each case, the familiar was not erased but delayed, forcing attention back onto the act of looking itself. The work did not sit in space so much as...

Across the global cultural landscape, the contemporary museum has entered a phase of expansion that is as much ideological as it is architectural. Openings in recent years have increasingly foregrounded decentralisation, permeability, and the collapse of rigid distinctions between archive, studio and public space. The announcement of Powerhouse Parramatta, opening in Sydney in late 2026, sits firmly within this recalibration. It is positioned as the most significant cultural infrastructure project in Australia since the Sydney Opera House, yet its ambitions are unmistakably global in tone. Rather than reinforcing institutional centrality, it participates in a wider rethinking of how museums might operate...

When I was a child I used to produce and direct sort of nonsensical plays for my schools, wherever I was, in Oakland, San Francisco, and Berkeley. So every year I produced a very bizarre play that, for some reason, every school had me put on. And then I studied with the Berkeley Rep theater. After that I went to UCLA and...
