Tate Britain show will bring to light the “incredible skill and magic and variety” in the painter’s work

The new issue of Art in America, ARTnews’s sister publication, features profiles of 20 “New Talent” honorees selected by the editors as artists to watch. The list includes artists from all over the world and who work in different mediums, all of them emerging in their own ways. The Summer 2026 issue of Art in America revisits the magazine’s long-running “New Talent” designation, which was initiated in 1954 and ran regularly in the magazine until 1966. The magazine relaunched the concept in the summer of 2021 and has continued it in the years since. Among the historically important artists identified as “New Talent” in the early years are Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, Donald Judd, Joan...

Roma Continua frames a new civic map for Rome
 
Roma Continua, the winning vision for Rome by IT’S and OMA, proposes a new urban framework for the Italian capital by working through its landscape, infrastructure, and overlooked sites.
 
Rome is a city of layers, meaning that its history can be read through its streets. It’s at once frozen in time, and constantly building upon itself. Now, the ancient city is to see its next chapter, and while it will remain legible as Rome, the proposal asks how this next layer might take shape over the coming twenty-five years.
 
Developed with OKRA, NET Engineering, and a wider interdisciplinary team, the proposal responds to the Roma REgeneration Foundation’s...

The Dia Art Foundation and the Sam Gilliam Foundation have announced Guatemala-based artist and poet Edgar Calel as the winner of the 2026 Sam Gilliam Award. Calel will receive $75,000 and will be featured in a public program at one of Dia’s locations this fall. Born in Chi Xot (San Juan Comalapa), Guatemala, in 1987, […]

When Valerie Lueth of Tugboat Printshop sets out to make a woodblock print, it’s rare that she only uses a single block. Instead, sometimes up to five distinctly carved pieces are incorporated, each containing different details that, when combined, create a total image. To make the prints, which are usually limited to editions of 100 or so, Lueth rolls the meticulously hand-carved blocks with colorful ink, layering them precisely in order. Black outlines define flora and fauna, for instance, which are first laid down as colorful shapes. Tugboat Printshop is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and for a limited time, there’s a discount on original woodcut prints in the shop. Keep an eye out on the...

The Dia Art Foundation and the Sam Gilliam Foundation have named Edgar Calel as the winner of the 2026 Sam Gilliam Award, which comes with $75,000 as well as a public program at a Dia-managed site in the fall. Calel is an artist and poet of Maya Kaqchikel heritage who is based in Chi Xot (San Juan Comalapa), Guatemala, where he was born in 1987. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance, Calel draws on the “ancestral knowledge systems, ritual practices, and the cultural traditions of Guatemala’s midwestern highlands,” per a release. In addition to a memorable solo exhibition at SculptureCenter in New York, his work has been included in the 2023 Gwangju Biennale, the 2023...

Arc of the wind transforms blossoms into kinetic spatial rhythm
 
Arc of the Wind is a kinetic installation by topoloy that explores how slow movement can quietly inhabit everyday space. Created for gaga’s flagship store at Taikoo Li Sanlitun in Beijing, the project introduces a gentle temporal layer into a fast-paced dining environment shaped by constant movement, visual stimulation, and short periods of stay. The installation draws from two natural phenomena and holds them in vertical tension: above, the tensile pull of traditional Chinese kites under suspension; below, the gradual unfolding of blossoms over time.
 
Rather than translating these references into literal forms, topoloy extracted their...

Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu announce venice biennale 2027 theme
 
Curators Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu unveil Do Architecture: The Possibility of Coexistence in the Face of Real Reality as the theme of the 20th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Running from May 8th to November 21st, 2027, the exhibition positions architecture as a direct response to an increasingly unstable world shaped by ecological crisis, accelerated urbanization, technological abstraction, and the erosion of cultural memory.
 
Announced at the Biennale headquarters in Venice, the theme marks a notable shift from the technologically driven discourse of recent editions toward a more grounded architectural approach...

Back in January, we had to wrap our heads around the fact that South Africa, the same country that charged Israel with genocide at The Hague, censored an exhibition about Palestinian grief. The nation’s Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie, a supporter of Israel, nixed Gabrielle Goliath’s installation Elegy for its pavilion at the Venice Biennale, using false accusations of foreign intervention that convinced nobody. But that wasn’t the end of the story. A few organizations stepped up, and Goliath’s show was eventually installed in a Venice church. “The censorship of Goliath’s proposed contribution to the Biennale seems especially perverse when confronted with the actual installation, which is...

IED EXPLORES FORMS OF INCLUSIVE LIVING THROUGH DESIGN
 
How can design interventions prompt political citizenship? Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), the Italian design school with campuses in Italy, Spain, and Brazil, explored different ways of inhabiting states of emergency during Milan Design Week 2026 with three interventions around the city. The projects were presented under the theme ‘Living the Present’ and included a camping setup for over 300 design students visiting the city, an ephemeral structure for temporary housing, and a series of flexible, modular furniture interventions designed for initial reception spaces.
 
The interventions reflects on the constant evolution of contemporary cities...

stacked volumes shape central courtyard at Block Kindergarten
 
Block Kindergarten by SoBa Architects is located in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, China, within a dense urban environment defined by residential towers and municipal infrastructure. Positioned east of Hongqi Road and north of Zhenchuan Road, the 9,012-square-meter campus is planned as a 21-class kindergarten and responds directly to the site’s spatial constraints through a combination of enclosed architecture and layered landscape design.
 
High-rise housing surrounds the site to the north and east, while a substation, waste transfer station, and emergency medical center occupy the southern edge. In response to these conditions, the project...

Alla Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, la prima personale istituzionale italiana di Lenz Geerk, Theatre of the Mind, si presenta come un dispositivo percettivo in cui la pittura regola le circostanze dell’apparizione. La mostra elabora un campo in cui sagoma, spazio e tempo non si danno simultaneamente, ma come scansioni differite, in cui la visione arriva sempre leggermente dopo il proprio accadere. Nei dipinti di Geerk non si dispiegano rappresentazioni semplici. Figure, oggetti e situazioni coesistono in configurazioni instabili e gli elementi non tendono a una sintesi, ma rimangono in uno stato di connessione irrisolta, in cui ciò che affiora non coincide mai davvero con ciò che si compie.

Between the rhythms of global capital and the architectures of digital life, meaning today is produced in spaces where the physical and the virtual are no longer distinct but mutually constitutive. Labour, identity, memory and desire circulate through systems of automation, simulation and networked communication that reshape how experience is felt and represented. Within this condition, contemporary art becomes a site for testing the limits of perception itself – a way of registering how subjectivity is formed under technological pressure. It is here that the work of Cao Fei finds its urgency, staging a world in which utopia and exhaustion, play and infrastructure, coexist in uneasy proximity. Her practice...

In an age defined by the incessant circulation of images, photography has become less a discrete medium than an ambient condition. Pictures arrive and depart with such velocity that looking is often reduced to a kind of reflex – a flicker of attention rather than sustained encounter. The photograph, once anchored in the idea of duration, now behaves like a surface of perpetual present tense, endlessly refreshed and endlessly displaced. However, within this saturation, photography festivals have become increasingly important as counter-temporal spaces – environments in which images are slowed, recontextualised and recharged through proximity, scale and sequence. They function as temporary architectures of...

Whenever I’m stuck in a reading rut, I find that art books of any kind are the only ones that can rescue me. This time, it’s Kory Stamper’s True Color, a transfixing story about the man who originated Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s definitions for colors. A begonia, for him, was “bluer than fiesta, and bluer and stronger than sweet william,” and scotch gray was “duller than mermaid.” What a mind.Hers is just one of the captivating titles on our summer art reading list, complete with fiction, catalogs, photo books, and a graphic novel about stories themselves.

A year ago, Luis Emilio Romero was living off the Jefferson L train stop in Bushwick, trying to concentrate on his oil painting despite the constant thrum of activity outside his door.But the Jersey City native lucked out when he was accepted in December to the Monira Foundation’s highly competitive residency program at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City. Now he paints intricate, textile-influenced patterns as the light streams into his basement studio with no distractions.“I love it here,” Romero told Hyperallergic during Mana’s Spring Open Studios this past weekend. My paintings imply a meditative spiritual process, and I need a space that is calm. I can just be here and continue building my...

Like a slo-mo Off-Off-Broadway chorus line or targets in a shooting gallery, six painted, heavy, jigsaw-cut plywood panels riffing on the cartoon character Popeye sway an understated dance number, small motors whirring gently behind. In this posthumous exhibition at PPOW, artist Martin Wong’s strange, hybrid take on the classic cultural icon metamorphoses Popeye into architectural forms as much as humanoid figures, painted as curving brickwork, variously weathered. There’s a kind of sociable quality to Wong’s retakes that softens both the brick and the insistent phallic exaggerations he makes of Popeye’s bulbousness. In Wong’s hands, Popeye’s hammy palms, nose, elbows, and even oversized earlobes...

The French government announced Monday morning the team of architects who have been selected to overhaul the Louvre in Paris, concluding a protracted selection process marked by staff strikes and the lingering investigation into the jewel heist.  The Paris office of STUDIOS Architecture will lead the project, which includes the creation of new galleries and a new lobby. The firm, an international collective founded in 1985 with offices in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Washington, D.C., has previously worked on a number of high-profile designs in the arts and culture sector: its recent portfolio includes the well-received renovations of the Frick Collection in New York and the Sainsbury...

Over 100 staff members across departments at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) have announced their intention to unionize in a recent letter to the Director and CEO Scott Stulen and the museum board, urging leadership to voluntarily recognize the union by Wednesday, May 27. Going by Seattle Art Museum Workers United (SAMWU), the employees have affiliated with Washington Federation of State Employees/AFSCME Council 28, which also represents workers at the Tacoma Art Museum, as first reported by the Seattle Times.Dated May 13, the SAMWU letter to the museum was signed by 59 current employees working in visitor experience and memberships, collections care and art handling, curatorial and exhibition projects, events...

Nathaniel Mary Quinn still sounds a little stunned by the whole affair: Last fall, the painter was in the kitchen of his Brooklyn brownstone when he got on a three-way call with Mick Jagger and producer Andrew Watt. By the end of it, he had agreed to make the cover art for Foreign Tongues, the Rolling Stones’ new album, due out July 10.  “I’m standing in my kitchen talking to Mick Jagger,” Quinn told me last week over the phone, “It was surreal.” The resulting image, an unsettling but magnetic composite portrait that folds together the faces of Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood, now sits at the center of the Stones’ global rollout for the record. Quinn also redesigned the band’s famous...

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, has reinstated mention of Donald Trump’s two impeachments in a new wall text accompanying his portrait in the institution’s gallery of American presidents.

LUXOR, EGYPT—Authorities from Egypt’s Luxor Museum revealed a never-before-seen plaster wall from King Tutankhamun’s tomb, The Independent reports. The wall was originally constructed just before the burial chamber was sealed to protect the young pharaoh’s grave from intruders. It still bears stamps associated with the funerary rituals and seals belonging to Tutankhamun as well as those of the necropolis guards charged with keeping the tombs safe and protecting them from theft. Similar blocking walls are almost never found intact by archaeologists because so many royal Egyptian tombs were looted in antiquity and they were dismantled by robbers. However, when Howard Carter’s team discovered the grave...

SIBERIA, RUSSIA—According to a CNN report, Neanderthal dentists may have used sophisticated tools to treat toothaches 60,000 years ago. A lone Neanderthal lower molar recently stood out among dozens of hominin teeth, fossils, and other artifacts that archaeologists recovered from the Chagyrskaya Cave in Siberia’s Altai Mountains. The tooth’s crown featured an unusual deep hole that extended into the pulp cavity. After researchers conducted a detailed analysis of the prehistoric tooth and experiments on modern teeth, they concluded that the hole was most likely created when someone used a small stone point to drill into an infected tooth and alleviate pain caused by a cavity. The find represents the...

A researcher analyzes the fabric bag recovered from Pompeii's Garden of the Fugitives. POMPEII, ITALY—In 1961, archaeologists working in a property in Pompeii known as the Garden of the Fugitives uncovered the remains of 14 victims who failed to escape the a.d. 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. They made plaster casts of the deceased individuals as they were being excavated that capture the victims' dramatic final poses. Now, more than six decades later, researchers have learned more about the identity of one of those people, Finestra sull’Arte reports. New X-ray and CT scanning recently revealed that one of the victims had a cloth bag by his side filled with bronze and silver coins, as well as a box...

On a day pretty much like any other, a girl named Prue is out in a park with her baby brother when the unthinkable happens: he’s swept off by crows and taken into a mysterious forest known as the Impassable Wilderness. Joined by her classmate Curtis, Prue ventures into the magical, sylvan realm where animals have developed a complex society of their own. The search for Prue’s missing sibling plots the course for an epic adventure that is the heart of the young adult novel Wildwood. Soon, the story lights up the big screen. The forthcoming feature-length film is based on an original story by Colin Meloy—the lead singer of The Decemberists, for the fans out there—and illustrated by Carson Ellis, who also...

Uluru stands at the heart of Australia’s “Red Centre.” The sandstone monolith, rising 348 metres above the desert, has stood for 550 million years. The natural wonder is a symbol of Aboriginal land rights and a source of spiritual connection with the continent. Artist Bruce Munro (b. 1959) visited the site in the 1980s. The trip, which began as part of a journey around Australia, marked a turning point in both his life and artist trajectory. The location inspired Field of Light, an installation of 50,000 solar powered stems, which illuminates an area the size of seven football fields. The piece, first opened in 2016, was intended to be a one-year exhibition, but has since received 750,000 visitors...

I have very few opportunities to see real-life opera divas, but when Natalie Dessay chose to debut her first Traviata at Santa Fe, there was no way I was going to miss it.

Si entra subito nel cuore del tema centrale osservando le immagini del fotografo colombiano Felipe Romero Beltrán: Bravo è il titolo del progetto che esplora il dramma dell’attraversamento del confine tra Messico e Stati Uniti, costituito dal fiume nel titolo, il Rio Bravo. Eppure, non vediamo figure umane nell’atto di passare il guado, ma soprattutto oggetti, sedie, materassi, pentolame, cortili senza persone, reliquie religiose, e luoghi che ci fanno capire che qualcuno da lì è passato. Come uno spettro. Fantasmi del quotidiano è il leitmotiv della XXI edizione del Festival della Fotografia Europea, realizzata con la curatela di Walter Guadagnini, Arianna Catania, Tim Clark e Luce Lebart.

By Tabea Martin ‘Me Myself’ brings together four artists — Anna‑Lena Ruff, Debora Schultheiss, Tabea Martin, and Eva Schick — whose works move across differing styles and energies yet find in this art space an unforced coherence. I sense a shared thread of observation and inner dialogue, and a contemplation of natural female presence. The exhibition is currently showing at the Anja Edith Brinckmann Galerie, Basel. From here, the individual narratives invite a closer reading. By Anna-Lena...

C’è qualcosa di controcorrente, nel senso migliore del termine, in una manifestazione che occupa un intero weekend per parlare di terracotta. Eppure, Buongiorno Ceramica!, giunta alla sua dodicesima edizione il 23 e 24 maggio 2026, è una delle poche occasioni in cui il termine “diffuso” – spesso abusato dal lessico delle arti contemporanee – riacquista una misura concreta e verificabile. Sessanta comuni italiani, più di cinquecento eventi, due giorni: la ceramica esce dalle vetrine, scavalca i recinti delle fiere specializzate e torna a occupare la strada, i cortili, le botteghe aperte come fossero stanze di una casa provvisoriamente condivisa.
Bottega ceramica a Montelupo Fiorentino (Toscana),...

The air held a real charge that night in SF's War Memorial Opera House.

The English soprano, famed for her interpretations of twentieth-century composers like Strauss, Britten, and Poulenc, as well as Mozart and operetta, died yesterday only a few days after announcing that she had a terminal cancer.

The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize, established in 1996, celebrates exhibitions and publications that have made “a significant contribution to photography in the past 12 months.” It’s a major moment in the cultural calendar, and, over the years, has spotlighted seminal names such as Arthur Jafa, Deana Lawson, Lorna Simpson, Richard Mosse and Susan Meiselas. This year’s winning artist is Rene Matić, for the exhibition AS OPPOSED TO THE TRUTH, at CCA Berlin, Germany, which ran from November 2024 to February 2025. The show, as Shoair Mavlian, Director of The Photographers’ Gallery and Chair of the Jury, describes, comprised “raw and honest photographs” that “bring a story of...

This season, photography exhibitions across Europe and the US are using image-making, installation and archival practice to confront some of the defining questions of our time: who controls representation, how technology reshapes tradition, and what it means to preserve identity under political and social pressure. From Amsterdam to Phoenix, artists are examining the tensions between truth and fiction, resistance and erasure. Presented at Huis Marseille, Fondazione Prada, Kunsthalle Bremen, Fotografiska Stockholm and Phoenix Art Museum, these exhibitions approach urgent contemporary issues with intimacy and ambition. Yumna Al-Arashi: Body as Resistance  Huis Marseille, Amsterdam | Until 21 June ...

All’interno del programma di 480 Site Specific, nello spazio di EDICOLA480 con la direzione artistica di Massimiliano Bastardo, il dipinto I secondi soldati di Gabriele La Torre – pittore palermitano, nato nel 2003 – si impone come un’immagine in apparenza semplice che, a uno sguardo più attento, rivela una costruzione percettiva instabile e stratificata. L’olio su tela lavora su un immaginario immediatamente riconoscibile, quello dei soldatini di plastica, ma ne sovverte la funzione narrativa, trasformandolo in un campo di tensione sospeso tra memoria, ripetizione e dislocazione.

Fusing elements of Persian architecture with Christian altarpieces, Arghavan Khosravi grapples with the structures and ideological strictures that shape our lives. The Iranian artist has long reckoned with women’s fight for equality, particularly amid censorship and religious dogma in her native country. Through vibrant gradients that radiate across her sculptural paintings, Khosravi entices the viewer into urgent, ongoing conversations about resistance and control. Opening today at Uffner & Liu, What Remains presents a dynamic new body of work that captures moments of tension and strife. Figures, in Khosravi’s works, are often restricted and tethered to domestic objects and space, and critically,...

Aerial view of enclosure burials, Atbai Desert, Sudan ATBAI DESERT, SUDAN—A new survey of Eastern Sudan’s Atbai Desert mapped hundreds of previously unidentified archaeological features that are providing new clues about what life was like in the region prior to the rise of pharaonic Egypt, Europe Says reports. Researchers used satellite aerial imagery to record at least 260 monumental enclosure burials between the Nile River and the Red Sea. These enigmatic tombs, which can reach 260 feet in diameter, were built by local nomadic herding communities during the fourth and third millennium b.c., making the funerary tradition older than the pyramids of Egypt. Previously excavated examples of these structures,...

Wax tablet notebook PADERBORN, GERMANY—La Brújula Verde reports that a German archaeological team under the supervision of the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) recovered an exceptionally well-preserved notebook from a medieval toilet in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The discovery was made during construction of a new administrative headquarters in the city of Paderborn. The four- by three-inch book contains 10 wooden tablet pages coated in wax, onto which the object’s owner etched writing using a metal or bone stylus. The volume was also carefully protected by a leather cover that was stamped with motifs of lilies. Although experts have not yet translated any of the passages, the...

In Everything Now All At Once at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, the title says it all. Dozens of works from the likes of Nick Cave, Ai Weiwei, Nina Chanel Abney, Wangechi Mutu, and many more represent a slice of the contemporary art world in which globalism and diversity are at the fore, and the lessons of the past inform how artists imagine the future. Interestingly, the pieces are also decidedly analog, especially noteworthy as these works—alongside a few other multimedia and photographic additions—have been made throughout the era of light-speed technological advances. Painting and sculpture, in particular, have long been treated as the nexus of “high art” in the Western canon. The...

By Lacey Argus It's easy to miss the bite-sized rainbows orbiting around the travertine surfaces of The Getty Center's Main Entrance. Some people breeze by them, eager to visit the various galleries that lie just beyond them. Others dash through them as they rush into a crowded bathroom line. Some briefly glance upward at the towering glass light prisms suspended from the atrium enclosing the space. But not children. If you spend an afternoon amongst these rainbows, you're sure to notice...
