thresholds for pop-up dreams
 
Pilar Zeta builds environments like dreams that feel like stepping into a thought mid-formation. Her sculptural works takes shape in the form of portals and objects that invite direct engagement, as visitors are invited to walk through them and notice subtle shifts in perception.
 
These pocket dreamworlds are translations of familiar geometries into unfamiliar configurations and contexts. Zeta’s installations show how that translation happens in real time. Materials carry history, geometry organizes movement, and light alters how everything is seen. Each work becomes a space where inner and outer worlds meet, offering a way to test how imagined futures might feel before they...

Trump's now-deleted Truth Social post contained an AI-generated image of him as Jesus (screenshot Hyperallergic)Yesterday, on Orthodox Easter, Donald Trump faced an eruption of backlash for posting an AI-generated photo of himself as Jesus Christ, just a couple of minutes after he criticized Pope Leo XIV on Truth Social. The image parodies the centuries-old Catholic image of the Divine Physician, with Trump wearing a flowing white mantle with a red robe, a beam of light emanating from his left hand as he rests his right on the forehead of a man in a hospital bed. Surrounding him are an older man in a dark navy cap (presumably a veteran), a man in military camouflage, a woman in a blue surgeon cap with a...

Researchers working on an archaeological salvage project related to construction of a passenger train between Querétaro and Mexico City discovered a 1,000-year-old stone altar. The discovery was first reported in March, and was uncovered within the Tula Archaeological Monument Zone, a Toltec site in the central state of Hidalgo, according to Mexico’s INAH (the National Institute of Anthropology and History). When the three-level altar was excavated from the test pit, the project archaeologists discovered four human skulls abutting the monument, along with several long bones, which are believed to be femurs. There is also a black ceramic bowl, fragments of obsidian, and several blades with the altar. It is...

Amid groves of trees, meadows, and aging infrastructure, Cinga Samson’s dreamlike tableaux are bathed in eerie light, as if spotlit or illuminated by the moon. The South African artist is known for his use of deep, dark pigments such as carbon black and Prussian blue, complemented by the occasional teal or purple and pops of bright white in t-shirts or sneakers. His figures, engaged in enigmatic activities, look on with spectral, all-white eyes. Green and brown foliage camouflages individuals who gather in fields, sort through mysterious items, and appear to converge with other beings like large birds. The work seen here is currently on view in the artist’s solo exhibition at White Cube called...

This article includes spoilers for The Drama, which is now playing theatrically. By now, you’ve probably heard that The Drama, a new film by Kristoffer Borgli that stars Robert Pattinson and Zendaya as a soon-to-be-married couple, has what many are calling a “twist.” In actuality, it’s more of a reveal, and it happens about a half hour in: Emma (Zendaya) reveals to Charlie (Pattinson) and her friends that she planned to shoot up her school as a kid but failed to execute on the plan. This disclosure causes Charlie, a chief curator at the fictional Cambridge Art Museum, to spiral and doubt their relationship. In one key scene, Charlie comes across a photobook called Brainrot that features young women...

Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer behind such durable hits as Cats (1981), Phantom of the Opera, and Evita, has teased a new musical about the early 20th century theft of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, the Mona Lisa. The news was first reported by the British publication The Stage. Lloyd Webber had already announced he was currently working on a musical based on the 2006 film The Illusionist. Speaking to entertainment journalist Frank DiLella after the April 7 opening of Lloyd Webber’s Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway, the composer told him: “The other one I’m working on is the true story of the theft of the Mona Lisa. It’s a true story about how the Mona Lisa disappeared for three years and...

Digital reconstruction of hypothesized polybolos bolt impacts AVERSA, ITALY—The polybolos has long been a legendary weapon of Roman military might, both in the sense that it could inflict tremendous damage and that it may never have existed. But archaeologists and engineers from the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli and the University of Bologna have identified ancient artillery holes that they believe correspond to shots from the device, according to a Diario AS report. The polybolos, literally “multiple thrower,” was a chain-driven freestanding catapult that fired metal-tipped bolts from a magazine in quick-repeating succession, automatically, according to a description by Philo of Byzantium, a...

The restaurant inside the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is eliminating its front-of-house staff and replacing traditional service with QR-code ordering. Cardamom, the museum’s in-house restaurant operated by DDP Restaurant Group, will shift to a counter-service model this week, with customers ordering via their phones rather than through servers. Sixteen hosts and servers are being laid off as part of the transition, though kitchen staff and bartenders will remain, according to reporting by MPR News.  The company framed the change as a long-considered business decision tied to uneven traffic and rising costs. Because Cardamom’s crowds fluctuate with museum programming and seasons, staffing has often...

Stacked Volumes Organize Layered living space by anonym studio
 
Located within an established residential enclave in Bangkok, Thailand, oom house by anonym studio is conceived as an extension to an existing dwelling, introducing additional space while maintaining continuity with its surroundings. The project reconsiders conventional housing typologies through a design approach centered on curved geometry and spatial continuity.
 
Positioned adjacent to the original house, the new structure is defined by a series of curved lines that inform both plan and elevation. These curves operate as spatial devices, enabling adjacent areas to remain connected without rigid separation. This approach establishes a...

This Illustration shows a European pond turtle crawling next to the foot of a European straight-tusked elephant. NEUMARK-NORD, GERMANY—A new analysis of turtle shell fragments unearthed at the Paleolithic site of Neumark-Nord in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt suggests Neanderthals regularly hunted the diminutive European pond turtle. A team led by archaeologist Sabine Gaudzinski-Windheuser from the Institute for Ancient Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz analyzed 92 turtle shell fragments from the site dating back 125,000 years, and found evidence that the turtles had been butchered and their shells cleaned. The team suspects Neanderthals did not eat the turtles, which grow to be no longer...

Steve DiBenedetto, who began exhibiting in the 1980s, has become one of the best painters of his generation. A bundle of contradictions, restlessly moving between figuration and abstraction, he loves to push the paint around in his work — adding, scraping, changing — as he seeks links between the body and visionary states. The otherworldliness we encounter in his work is comic and unnerving, the perfect combination for these upside-down times.The title of his current exhibition at Derek Eller, Spiral Architect, brings together two of his ongoing preoccupations — a line that winds around a center and the designer of a functional environment. Together, they underscore DiBenedetto’s conception of a...

Aerial view of ritual complex, Tell el-Farama, Egypt TELL EL-FARAMA, EGYPT—Archaeologists have unearthed a religious complex with a central pool dedicated to water rituals at the ancient city of Pelusium in northeastern Egypt, Ahram Online reports. In antiquity, the circular basin, which measures 115 feet in diameter and is enclosed by red brick walls, was connected to a branch of the Nile, which would have filled it with salty water—a symbol of the city's patron deity, Pelusius. A square platform in the middle of the basin was likely a base for a statue of the god. The basin is surrounded by water drainage channels. The complex remained in use, with only modest renovations, from the second century b.c. to...

a riverfront warehouse reworked for public use
 
In China‘s Nanhai District, this Yongping Warehouse has seen a renovation by Atelier cnS which reworks a row of riverfront industrial buildings into a landscaped rooftop public space. Once tied to river trade, the warehouses now occupy a stretch of waterfront that is gradually opening to residents, with access and visibility taking on new importance.
 
From a distance, the project is defined by a series of translucent, domed canopies that gather across the roofline. Their low, clustered profile reads as a continuous form hovering above the existing brick volumes. The gesture is simple and easy to read, and gives the site a recognizable presence along the...

In 1912, André Breton published his Surrealist Manifesto. The work described Surrealism as “pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.” It was a statement that came to define a moment that, one hundred years later, continues to play a defining role in contemporary art. To consider Surrealism is to conjure up names like Breton, Salvador Salí or René Magritte, but many female artists pushed the artform forward in ways that have long been overlooked. VISU Contemporary, in Miami...

uncanny valley opens in new york city
 
The Haas Brothers’ Uncanny Valley at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York brings together eighty-five works that present objects as active presences within a dreamlike, speculative reality.
 
Installed across sculpture, furniture, ceramics, painting, and digital work, the exhibition moves without hierarchy. A beaded plant, a low table, and a fur-covered creature occupy the same space, each following its own internal logic. The show reads as a continuous environment where distinctions between art and design give way to a shared condition of movement and interaction.
 
Across scales, from handheld vessels to towering figures, the works establish a setting where...

David Bowie (1947-2016) is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. This spring, a major new immersive experience dedicated to him is opening at London’s Lightroom, in close collaboration with the Bowie Estate. The 360° show – titled You’re Not Alone – promises to transport visitors inside the artist’s “iconic performances and creative mind”. From Space Oddity through Diamond Dogs, Heroes and ★, You’re Not Alone offers audiences the opportunity “to feel they have travelled through time to experience Bowie up close and first-hand.” But this is not about perpetuating the myths or characters often associated with Bowie, like Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack,...

C’è qualcosa di inevitabile nel modo in cui un corpo cade. Nel modo in cui una caviglia cede, devia, costringe l’intero sistema a riorganizzarsi.

L’artista messicano, classe 2003, in residenza presso la Fondazione Bevilacqua la Masa di Venezia, porta in mostra tre opere che insieme compongono un discorso in cui narrazione autobiografica e riflessione collettiva non si escludono ma si alimentano a vicenda.

Few contemporary photographers are as synonymous with black and white as Sebastião Salgado (1944–2025). The Brazilian activist, documentarian and photojournalist is world-renowned, notably for images made in the Amazon rainforest and the Serra Pelada gold mine, Brazil. Now, a new collection of Salgado’s pictures, titled Glaciers, is dedicated to some of the planet’s most remote places. It spans from dramatic ice fields in Patagonia to the Himalayas’ towering peaks. Salgado also travelled to Antarctica to capture its ice shelves, as well as to Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, a hugely volcanic region. The book features 65 duotone photographs, depicting sweeping vistas, massive crevasses, wind-swept snow...

Spanish silver real SANTIAGO, CHILE—Live Science reports that a sixteenth-century Spanish silver coin has been discovered in southern Chile at the site of Ciudad del Rey Don Felipe, a failed Spanish colony situated on the north side of the Strait of Magellan. Soledad González Díaz of Bernardo O’Higgins University said that the real was found on top of a stone in the foundations of a church structure. The discovery corresponds with an account written in 1584 by navigator Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, who described the founding of the colonial settlement, the placement of the coin on the stone, and a historic map of the area. “It not only helps to confirm the location and layout of key structures within the...

In at least 20 of the main chambers, the researchers found evidence of sunjang, the practice of interring sacrificed...

At Copenhagen Contemporary, Kengo Kuma and his team have honed in on the Japanese concept of komorebi, which reflects the unique interplay of light and shadow that occurs when the sun filters through the trees. The monumental, site-specific installation “Earth / Tree” harnesses this fleeting condition through a suspended canopy of wooden slats. Curved with a central opening, the diaphonous structure floats above a brick platform and a pile of rubble. These two organic materials bridge Nordic and Japanese cultures, which both value craftsmanship and continuity with the landscape. Kuma—who was recently awarded the bid to design the new National Gallery in London—often focuses on “soft architecture,”...

The exhibition situates her visionary designs alongside the artworks, stage costumes and collaborations that made the House of Schiaparelli one of the most radical forces of the 20th century. Over 400 objects, including 100 ensembles, 50 artworks, accessories, jewellery and archive material, trace the trajectory from her first Paris boutique to the present-day creations of Daniel Roseberry. “For me, dress...

Non è mai facile descrivere interamente il lavoro di un artista. Un incontro con un’opera d’arte è un’esperienza che unisce, che mette in connessione lo sguardo e lo spazio col proprio pensiero. Ecco, l’intera carriera di Liliana Moro (Milano, 1961) segue questi princìpi: la condivisione, l’ascolto e il dialogo, molto spesso applicati in situazioni pubbliche.

A cast of characters—including a businessman, a picnicking family, a young couple, a cyclist, an old man and his dog, and a guitarist—spend a seemingly average day at the park. When a powerful gust of wind blows everyone’s day out of proportion, themes of change, acceptance, and connection emerge. Much like the film’s surrender to the flow of life, the team...

Galicia, Spain-based artist Abi Castillo continues to create iterative self-portraits through her evolving ensemble of ceramic personas. Her delicate yet emotive figures are an invitation to consider the inner self, transformation, and the beauty of the natural world. Femininity, nature, and symbolism play a central role within Castillo’s sculptures, contrasting with the notion of concealment. “This ambivalence between mysticism and drama, between monstrosity and beauty, is all very present,” she explains in an artist statement. Though each ceramic character is distinct, her body of work carries overarching formal motifs including colorful hairstyles and wide eyes with light blue irises. Organic...
