La Fondazione Biscozzi | Rimbaud di Lecce si concentra in questi mesi su un aspetto inedito e affascinante della produzione di Sandro Chia (Firenze, 1946), figura chiave della Transavanguardia e artista di risonanza internazionale. La mostra Sandro Chia. I due pittori. Opere su carta 1989-2017, curata da Lorenzo Madaro, non celebra in maniera generica l’opera di Chia, ma si addentra in un territorio specifico e definito: la sua produzione su carta tra il 1989 e il 2017. Un corpus di cento opere che promette di svelare un “archivio intimo di immagini”, come suggerisce il comunicato stampa, offrendo una prospettiva privilegiata sulla natura metamorfica del suo linguaggio pittorico e sul suo costante...

Karachi-based artist Amin Gulgee’s three-decade-long oeuvre spans metal sculptures, bold performance art, and collaborative curation. A well-structured new volume on his work, titled Amin Gulgee: No Man’s Land and edited by John McCarry, is neither fully academic nor a catalogue raisonné; it balances the two approaches with plenty of images, candid writings penned by Gulgee’s art comrades, and overly brief semi-scholarly essays. I’ll borrow writer H. M. Naqvi’s words from his own engaging essay on Gulgee’s extravagant performances: The opulently illustrated hardcover “demands attention,” as does the artist himself. Here’s why: Only a handful of books have presented a critical discourse on...
Janiva Ellis, “Untitled” (2023–24) (image courtesy the artist and 47 Canal) Artist Janiva Ellis, whose work is on view at the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at Harvard University, has withdrawn from a scheduled talk on campus along with event co-lead and art historian Rizvana Bradley over concerns about recent university actions that Ellis said “repress academic freedom.” The event, slated to take place tomorrow, April 3, has since been canceled after Ellis announced her and Bradley’s withdrawal in a statement on her Instagram stories earlier this week.In the statement, Ellis cited the university’s decision to dismiss faculty leaders of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies last week over...
In a Freudian posthumous twist, researchers discovered a portrait of Catalan artist Joan Miró’s mother concealed beneath his “Painting” nearly a century after its completion in 1927.Researchers at Barcelona’s Fundació Joan Miró, a museum and center for scholarship on the late artist and contemporary art at large, announced last week in a press statement that “Painting” overlaid a portrait of his mother, Dolors Ferrà i Oromí. The discovery comes almost 50 years after the foundation first detected the likeness of a mysterious woman behind the deep blue paint.Miró, often described as a Surrealist, gifted “Painting” to his friend Joan Prats, who owned the work until his death in 1970. Five...
From geometric, white panels riveted together into an undulating sphere, Marc Fornes / THEVERYMANY’s newest public installation invites visitors to immerse themselves in a luminous experience on Google’s Charleston East Campus in California. Designed as a physical embodiment of innovation and creativity, “The Orb” invites us into a 10-meter-tall, 26-meter-wide labyrinthine form made of ultra-thin aluminum. “Edged yet edgeless, surfaces curve, branch, split, rejoin, and split again,” the studio (previously) says. “This extreme curvature—achieved through cutting-edge computational design—enables the surfaces to be entirely self-supporting despite being just three millimeters thick.” “The...
Kevin Young, the director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., has been on personal leave since March 14, and will continue to be out of office indefinitely, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the news on Wednesday. The Post reported that a museum spokesperson said Young would be out for an “undetermined period.” Young has been director of the museum, one of many run by the Smithsonian Institution, since 2021. The institution is currently being led by Shanita Brackett, its associate director of operations. Per the Post, the announcement of Young’s indefinite leave was only made internally. His leave began before President Donald Trump...
On March 21, the same day Columbia University conceded to President Trump’s policy demands as a condition for restoring $400 million in federal funding, a timely screening of a new documentary dissected the 2024 student protests for Gaza at Columbia that sparked an international phenomenon. The Encampments (2025), produced by BreakThrough News and Watermelon Pictures, extricates the movement from the grips of mainstream media narratives and places it back in the hands of its organizers, including Palestinian graduate student and lead co-negotiator Mahmoud Khalil, who is currently detained and facing possible deportation.Directed by BreakThrough News journalist Kei Pritsker and filmmaker Michael T. Workman,...
ALTADENA, Calif. — Eleven weeks have passed since photographer Mark Read’s historic home burned to the brick during the Eaton Fire in Altadena, California, where he’d lived for the last nine years. Built in 1912 as an art studio for Elena Scripps Kellogg, the Craftsman-style cottage featured a north-facing window, intricate woodworking, and Batchelder tile on the fireplace hearth — one of the only parts of the house to survive. On a Saturday afternoon in March, a team of volunteer masons gingerly pulled the surviving tiles from the lathe and brick of the damaged fireplace mantle, carefully lifted them into shallow cardboard boxes, and set them aside for Read to preserve and keep. This is the delicate...
A Texas lawmaker has proposed a bill that could be used to keep certain kinds of art off view, the Fort Worth Report reports. On March 6, representative David Lowe filed House Bill 3958, which outlines a proposed civil penalty against any museum showing “certain obscene or harmful material.” The Texas Penal Code defines “obscene” as any kind of performance or material that depicts sexual acts without literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. If passed, Lowe’s bill would ensure that museums could be fined up to $500,000 per item and day that an “obscene” display remains on view. Additionally, those found in violation of the law could also be forced to pay injunctive relief and...
Patti Smith performed at a New York City rally Tuesday as part of an effort to prevent a downtown park from being converted into affordable housing. The Elizabeth Street Garden, located between between Spring and Prince streets, has long been a community gathering place for artists and city dwellers. However, the city — which owns the land — announced plans to transform the space into an “urban oasis,” a move that longtime SoHo icons like Smith, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese have previously lobbied against. On Tuesday, a rally was held by those trying to preserve the garden, with Smith staging a performance that included a rendition of “Peaceable Kingdom”: “The Elizabeth Street Garden is...

The U.S. Department of State’s recent cuts to foreign aid grants is expected to affect New York nonprofit World Monuments Fund (WMF), which has lost seven grants totaling more than $800,000, the Art Newspaper reported Tuesday. The cuts affect restoration efforts in Algeria, Benin, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ukraine, and Iraq. The broader policy shift, part of the White House’s “America First” agenda, which seeks to move resources away from international projects, has led to the cancellation of nearly half of all foreign aid grants, which the government has claimed cuts $60 billion in funding that used to go abroad. Over the last twenty years, the U.S. State Department has seen WMF as a...

In his ongoing “quest to articulate the ineffable,” Arizona-based artist Daniel Martin Diaz (previously) creates large-scale works that merge metaphysical, scientific, and technological phenomena into vibrant geometric compositions. Diaz’s current solo exhibition, UNIVERSAL CODES at the Everhart Museum of Natural History, Science, and Art, presents recent work drawing on a wide range of influences, from Mexican religious iconography and arcane religious sigils to Early Netherlandish painters and Gothic decorative motifs. “Cross Species Interface” Diaz’s work often investigates concepts of death and religion “as he seeks to pose questions but not answer them,” says an exhibition statement....

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is reportedly recommending extreme cuts to staff and programs at the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the New York Times reported Tuesday evening. NEH employees were informed by managers on Tuesday morning of DOGE’s recommended reductions to the staff by as much as 70 to 80 percent of the organization’s 180 staffers, as well as the possible cancellation of all outstanding grants made under the Biden administration. Senior leadership is expected to provide more detailed plans. Only three weeks ago, the head of the NEH Shelly Lowe was forced to resign several months before the end of her four-year term; she was appointed under former...
In the second half of the 20th century, “brutalism and the shall-we-call-it ‘marketplace modernism’…when it appeared in the East, was always about spectacle,” Zupagrafika founders David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka say in a blog post about Eastern Bloc suburbia. Brutalist housing estates and public buildings of the post-war Soviet era were built on a massive scale, often from concrete and prefabricated panels, to accommodate growing populations and to demonstrate power, socialist values, and modernity. Sometimes blocked in color or complemented by murals, these hulking structures largely emphasized monolithic forms, an unmissable PR message about communist ideology. Tbilisi Brutalism is a study in...

International museums in 2024 collectively experienced a slight dip in attendance that marks a return to normalcy in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, the Art Newspaper reports. According to the publication’s annual study, the decline suggests the post-pandemic build-back has ended, and institutions can expect to see visitor numbers rise or fall based on […]
Nature has always been a subject of fascination for Clara Lacy, who roamed the fields and streams around her home in Hampshire when she was young, spurring an interest in studying biology. Art also emerged as a way for her to channel her interest in animals and plants, tapping into the long-held tradition of artists documenting flora and fauna for science. As she moved around to different parts of the world, with stints in Hong Kong and Sydney before returning to the U.K., Lacy absorbed each place’s variations in botanical life, weather, and light, inspiring a body of work that reflects on climate change, species loss, and “the need to find balance between humans and nature,” she says. “Thanatos” The...

È il 1960: gli artisti Pietro Cascella, Piero Dorazio, Gino Marotta, Fabio Mauri, Gastone Novelli, Achille Perilli, Mimmo Rotella e Giulio Turcato insieme al poeta e critico Cesare Vivaldi, si uniscono nel gruppo Crack. L’esperimento – durato solo un anno e unico nel suo genere – culminò in una sola mostra presso la galleria Il Canale di Venezia, nell’agosto dello stesso anno, e nella pubblicazione di un volume concentrato sulla particolare vicenda artistica.

Joel-Peter Witkin (Brooklyn, 1939. Vive e lavora ad Albuquerque, Nuovo Messico) è uno dei massimi esponenti della fotografia contemporanea: solitario, esagerato, macabro, perturbante, retorico, visionario, cinico, ridondante, grottesco, raffinatissimo: questi sono alcuni dei contraddittori aggettivi che si affollano nella mente di fronte alle sue stampe fotografiche eccessive. In tutta la sua carriera, iniziata come fotografo militare incaricato di documentare la quotidianità delle truppe basate in Europa (focalizzandosi su incidenti e suicidi), la morte è un elemento imprescindibile del suo universo poetico, declinato con un’estetica sovrabbondante, ma a suo modo di impeccabile eleganza. Witkin ha...

That image reminds me of something. It ignites a small flame that lights my way through the filing system of my mind. It brings me eventually to the hint of a memory, and that memory guides my interpretation of the image, influences my reaction, connects my thoughts and feelings, and threads them together, binding them into a new collection, to be drawn upon the next time something familiar arises.
Everything I have seen, felt, remembered, everything, influences and informs every thought I will ever have.
