Audio Bricks® Applies Construction Systems to Sound Design
 
Audio Bricks® by Paolo Caviglia proposes a modular audio system that reinterprets standard building bricks as functional electronic components. The project integrates amplification, power management, and signal control into a construction-based logic, where each element connects through a single, repeatable action.
 
The system is based on a series of patented adapters that link brick geometry to dedicated printed circuit boards. These adapters accommodate specific functions, including amplification, digital-to-analog conversion, switching, and volume control. Each module is designed as a discrete unit that can be assembled, removed, or replaced...

Amy Sherald brought one of her most beloved paintings to life for tonight’s Met Gala, which was held to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. With the help of designer Thom Browne, Sherald dressed up as the little girl in her 2014 painting Miss Everything (Unsuppressed Deliverance), the work that won the artist the National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever Prize and appeared on a New Yorker cover last year. The painting, which is featured in a traveling Sherald survey that opens at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art on May 15, features a young woman holding an oversized teacup and staring at the viewer. Sherald drew her inspiration for the work from Alice’s Adventures in...

The annual Met Gala has become such a global pop-culture phenomenon that many probably forget—or maybe never knew!—that the event functions as a lucrative fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, the branch of the museum dedicated to all things fashion. Last year’s event raised $31 million, and this year’s raised $42 million, Met director Max Hollien announced on Monday morning. Controversially, the Met named Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos honorary chairs, a move that has led to widespread protests. (The two are reported to have given the Met Gala $10 million.) The gala always precedes the opening of the Costume Institute’s spring show, which...

As fashion’s elite strutted up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, tinted an eerie, mildewy green for the Met Gala tonight, May 4, a small but rollicking crowd of protesters unfurled its own red carpet just a few blocks away. Orchestrated by the NYC-based advocacy group Rise and Resist, the action drew dozens of concerned, costumed citizens in a show of defiance against the billionaire class and Jeff Bezos, who is co-chairing this year’s event with his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos.“It’s such an exercise in triviality and an ostentatious display of wealth and power a time when so many Americans are under serious, serious threat,” Jay W. Walker, the event’s emcee, told Hyperallergic. The...

In AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted, sending a cloud of ash and hot gas sweeping through the Roman town of Pompei. The writer Pliny the Younger—whose uncle, Pliny the Elder, died in the eruption—watched the catastrophe unfold from a vantage point across the Bay of Naples, later describing how inhabitants had tied pillows over their heads to protect themselves from falling debris and carried torches to find their way through the darkness. In 2024, archeologists discovered the skeletons of two of the volcano’s victims, likely killed as they tried to reach the sea, just outside Pompeii’s southern gates. The first skeleton was of a young man, who is thought to have died in a pyroclastic surge—a rush of...

PITTSBURGH — When the landmark exhibition Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection launched at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999, artist Chris Ofili became a major player in the scrum of the culture wars. Ofili’s “The Holy Virgin Mary” (1996), a colorful, yellow-toned mixed-media painting of the mother of Christ collaged with images of women’s genitalia excised from pornographic magazines, and supported by a stand composed of two lumps of dried elephant dung, was deemed by then New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as “sick … disgusting,” and a “desecration of someone else’s religion” (Ofili, like Giuliani, is Roman Catholic). The New York Post, in its indomitable way, covered...

If there’s a factory tour on offer in my vicinity, count me in. As the child of two teachers, I developed an abiding fascination with how things are made during family vacations, roadtripping around the South and up to New England, often with educational detours along the way. We toured a cheese factory, a whiskey distillery, a glassblowing workshop, a crayon factory, an ice cream factory, and more. These places offer a taste of what it takes to turn, say, milk into a creamy pint of Cherry Garcia, and a glimpse at the glinting machinery, ingenuity, and labor involved in the manufacturing process.In the Cooper Hewitt’s current exhibition, Made in America: The Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne, you...

Alison Knowles is often regarded as the "first woman" of Fluxus, the intrepid group that took the piss out of art itself. Six months after her death, Lauren Moya Ford examines the only book dedicated to her work and life — the latter of which still remains shrouded in mystery, despite the author's best efforts. Ford considers one of the many questions that plague historians: Can we understand the work if we do not first understand the artist?More books to kick off May, which spiritually if not technically marks the start of summer, including Ed Simon on the qualities that set Hans Holbein's portraits apart and Melissa Holbrook Pierson on a photographer's engagement with the endless landscape...

With a single day remaining before the 61st Venice Biennale opens for previews this week, the Biennale Foundation announced today that Iran will not be participating in the national pavilion exhibition. The news comes two months after the United States and Israel first launched strikes across Iran, and coincides with resumed attacks along the Strait of Hormuz as tensions throughout the temporary ceasefire bubbled over in the last 24 hours. Little information is available about the pavilion exhibition aside from the fact that Aydin Mehdizadeh Tehrani, the director general of the visual arts office in the Iranian Ministry of Culture, was listed as the commissioner as of March 4. “With regard to the National...

He’s here to give us a tour. “This has been my home for 174 years,” the man says, introducing himself as Captain Horatio Hollingwood. “I arrived in command of a well-known British merchant ship, responsible for transporting goods of every sort.

A gold-leafed statue of Donald Trump is now standing at his Trump National Doral golf club in Miami after a drawn-out payment dispute. The 15-foot bronze sculpture, which rises to about 22 feet with its pedestal, was finished with gold leaf after the artist, Ohio-based sculptor Alan Cottrill, proposed the upgrade. “It [was] like pitching ice water to a man dying of thirst,” Cottrill told the Daily Beast.  The addition helped push the cost of the project, commissioned by a group of cryptocurrency investors to promote their $PATRIOT meme coin, from $300,000 to $360,000. Cottrill also demanded compensation for the group’s use of images of the statue to market the token before his payment had been...

Statue of Ganesha looted from a temple in Madhya Pradesh, India NEW YORK, NEW YORK—According to a report in The Telegraph, the United States repatriated 657 artifacts to India in a ceremony held at the Consulate General of India in New York. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said that the objects were recovered in multiple investigations of antiquities trafficking. “The scale of the trafficking networks that targeted cultural heritage in India is massive, as demonstrated by the return of more than 600 pieces today,” Bragg explained. “There is unfortunately more work to be done to return stolen artifacts back to India,” he added. The objects returned in the ceremony include a bronze figure of...

Archival aerial photograph of Las Playas Intaglio, Arizona AJO, ARIZONA—According to a Washington Post report, an intaglio that looks like a fish has been damaged in southwestern Arizona by construction crews building a second wall on the border with Mexico parallel to the first. Waivers issued by the Department of Homeland Security exempted border wall construction crews from laws requiring the protection of Indigenous archaeological sites and the environment. Located inside Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, the Las Playas intaglio, which is estimated to be more than 1,000 years old and measured about 200 feet long when intact, was recorded by archaeologists Richard Martynec and Sandra Martynec in...

Images of a lamb and cross decorate this coin, which was found in Jutland, Denmark. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK—The Viking Herald reports that two rare English “Lamb of God” coins were recently unearthed in Jutland. During the eleventh century, English monarchs undertook various initiatives to try to ward off seemingly unending Viking attacks. Around 1009, King Æthelred the Unready even minted unusual coins in the hope of obtaining divine protection. The objects feature a lamb and a cross on one side—a Christian motif alluding to Christ’s sacrifice—and a dove on the other, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Not only did these coins fail in their objective, they became somewhat coveted by Viking raiders, who...

Set within the 800-year-old Swedish fortress, the work invites visitors to hand over their smartphones to a moving conveyor system where the devices travel through a sequence of cloud-shaped chambers filled with miniature speculative worlds.

In the late 12th century, a nobleman named Count Gerard van Loon commissioned an abbey to serve as his final resting place. Over the next few decades, amid plenty of political tumult, Herkenrode Abbey in Hasselt, Belgium, was converted to the first Cistercian convent for women. It was a site of pilgrimage from the 13th to the 15th centuries, and despite regional wars and economic uncertainty, it stayed the course. During the 16th century, it experienced its heyday thanks to the patronage of a figure named Prince Bishop Evrard van der Marck, seeing the addition of a Gothic church that brimmed with beautiful stained glass windows, textiles, paintings, and more. The Eighty Years’ War paused Herkenrode’s...

Gagosian gallery in London will present an artwork conceived by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1968 but never realized before the artists’ deaths—Jeanne-Claude in 2009 and Christo in 2020. The exhibition “Christo: Air,” opening May 21 and running through August 21, will feature rare works by Christo as well as Air Package on a Ceiling, a work that Christo and Jeanne-Claude planned for the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia but never mounted due to technical limitations. Described in the gallery’s press release for the exhibition as a “vast, internally illuminated and suspended form,” the work will measure around 32 by 52 feet and hangs just over the heads of viewers in the gallery.

During the Victorian era, innovators made huge leaps with optical technologies. It was the period of the stereoscope and an early projector known as the magic lantern, not to mention one in which eyeglasses became more affordable and entering the mainstream. These advances also influenced scientific inquiry, making microscopes more powerful, and the pursuit of microscopy enabled researchers and enthusiasts to discover creatures invisible to the naked eye. One of these enthusiasts was London-based educator and amateur scientist Charles Thomas Hudson. Along with other scholars and aficionados, he participated in interest groups. “As President of the Royal Microscopical Society and a Fellow of the Royal...

derrick adams arrives in venice
 
A new public work by Derrick Adams has appeared in Venice, floating over the city’s network of canals in the heart of the Biennale. Titled Heavy is the head that wears the crown, the piece takes the form of a large-scale portrait of the late curator Koyo Kouoh, installed as a banner on the facade of the Palazzetto dello sport Giobatta Gianquinto in Castello. Facing the Rio della Tana, the image meets visitors as they move between the Arsenale and the surrounding streets.
 
The project, curated by Francesco Bonami, runs from May 4th through September 24th, 2026. Its placement is significant. The facade reads as a flat plane stretched across a busy edge condition, and Adams...

A restaurant meal on a road trip. A billboard off a highway. A dusty side street in a Texas town. Stephen Shore (b. 1947) captures the seemingly banal moments of life. His photographs of small-town North America captured a society in transition. The mid-20th century works are emblematic of the rapid transformation of the era, both for culture and politics, and photography as an artform. His shots, according to 303 Gallery, “became a bible for young photographers seeking to work in colour, because, along with that of William Eggleston, his work exemplified that the medium could be considered art.” Most celebrated is Uncommon Places (1973 – 1981) series, which were taken over the course of a decade and...

Renature, presented at Bildhalle Zürich, explores the shifting relationship between nature, perception and materiality in contemporary lens-based art. Bringing together the work of Adam Jeppesen, Douglas Mandry, Inka & Niclas and Joost Vandebrug, the exhibition questions how the organic world is framed through technology and visual culture, whilst foregrounding the physical materials that shape photography. Together, these artists open a dialogue around nature as something seen, shaped and felt. They are not merely documented, but transformed. Their works reject permanence and perfection, instead embracing fragility, artifice and transformation as essential elements of a contemporary visual language. ...

This May, exhibitions on display around the world harness photography and installation to interrogate pressing themes, from the importance of proper representation to the future of our natural spaces. They ask questions like: what happens after sea levels rise? What does the world look like 50 years from now? How do we preserve our cultures, traditions and communities in the face of massive uncertainty? They’re some of the most important issues facing our current moment. Each exhibition, hosted at the National Portrait Gallery, VB Photographic Center, ARKEN, Biennale of Sydney and Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, explores them with depth and nuance. They do not provide easy solutions, but ask the audiences to hold...

Kim Dacres gravitates toward renewal and care, transforming worn rubber into expressive sculptural portraits. The New York-based artist twists and braids tired treads into sleek buns and rows typical of Black hairstyles, which she embellishes with gear-like crowns and jewelry made of metal bike chains. Spray painting the material to mask marks, Dacres utilizes what might otherwise be deemed worthless to create bold visages. A new body of work extends a series of celebratory busts the artist made to honor those who’ve inspired and influenced her. On view this month at Charles Moffett, Lost on a Two Way Street follows this trajectory, while adding flatter wall works evocative of Victorian-era cameos. “The...

Wheat impression on Neolithic mudbrick, Georgia TBILISI, GEORGIA—Phys.org reports that wheat for baking bread (Triticum aestivum) may have first been grown some 8,000 years ago in Georgia. Genetic studies of modern wheat plants and wild grasses indicate that domesticated wheat and wild goat grass were mixed in the South Caucasus and the Caspian Sea region. This hybrid plant eventually became bread wheat, explained Nana Rusishvili of the Georgia National Museum and her colleagues. They examined charred grains recovered from Gadachrili Gora and Shulaveris Gora, two Neolithic village sites in Georgia. Because charred grains of bread wheat look similar to durum wheat and other wheat seeds, the team members...

Pieces of the Berlanga Cup BERLANGA DE DUERO, SPAIN—According to a Live Science report, a new study of the Berlanga Cup, a 1,900-year-old bronze vessel discovered in Spain, suggests that its decorations depict Hadrian’s Wall, which is located some 1,200 miles away from where the cup was discovered. “The cup is a small representation of a functional vessel called a Roman trulla—a bronze or clay cup with a handle used to drink water,” said Jesús García Sánchez of the Archaeological Institute of Mérida. “It is not only crafted with metals, but also expensive enamels, and later on customized. It is definitely not an industrial product,” García Sánchez added. The inscription on the cup lists...

Systems of power, cultural identity and “the fragile boundaries between perception and reality” are the ideas that drive Lucia Shuyu Li, a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans installation, performance, painting and sound. They’re also some of the most relevant themes of our times, emerging from a contemporary era defined by misinformation, political polarisation and an endless news cycle. Li draws on her Chinese heritage and time spent in the US to create her works, which express her “experiences as an individual navigating the complexities of contemporary society.” The trio of paintings Judge Me, I Am Dead Therefore I Was Alive and Who Cried Walking Home are perhaps her most personal, and...

In recent years, Julianknxx has developed a practice that sits at a compelling intersection of film, poetry and performance – one that resists easy classification while remaining grounded in lived experience. Born in Sierra Leone and now based in London, his work reflects an engagement with questions of identity, displacement and cultural memory. Rather than treating these themes as fixed subjects, he approaches them as evolving conditions, shaped by movement, language and time; unfolding through a logic of association rather than linear narrative, rhythm, voice and atmosphere. This creates a viewing experience that is as much about listening and sensing as it is about interpretation. In this way, Julianknxx...

Home might be a mutable concept, but some objects retain the aura of belonging and comfort even outside the walls we reside in. For Monica Rohan, those items are patterned fabrics and bentwood dining chairs, which venture outdoors in her vibrant oil paintings. The Brisbane-based artist has long depicted the supple folds and bright motifs of textiles, which tended to swaddle her characters or hide their faces among natural landscapes. Upholstered loungers and carved wood seats have similarly appeared in unusual spots, precariously holding a figure while nested in a slim hedge or slumping down a small hill. “Draped Clover” (2026), oil on board, 70 x 100 centimeters In recent years, though, Rohan’s...

It hints at something of what Egan, his wife, and two...

Matthew Walton is an emerging artist based in Toronto. He holds a B.A.A. (Hons.) in Animation from Sheridan College. His mixed-media practice combines drawing and painting, often merging the human form with a distinct graphic sensibility. The result is figurative compositions that strike a distinct textural contrast between softness and hardness. Embracing gestures and mannerisms once repressed, his work is also a celebration of authentic self-expression.
Froot Loops features Matthew’s mixed-media-work-on-paper series highlighting the quiet charm of everyday queerness. Each piece reimagines a separate mundane moment, transformed by Matthew’s bold, graphic approach to figuration and his vibrant technicolor...

In the forest nothing stands still. Time layered through thoughts and feelings, leaves kicked and crunched as we walk. The trees talk to each other, sending mycelium messages, carbon gifts, and warnings of drought or illness. From ancient wisdom to popular culture, it’s all here.
If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound? Of course it did. And if Jo Stapleton was there to capture the moment, there would be a visual symphony of light, shape and form to follow.
