Leipzig, Germany-based artist Alexander Endrullat has traded traditional Intaglio printing plates for discarded laptops. His ongoing series titled Off the Grid emerged from a familiar yet annoying scenario: owning an older device that can no longer be updated, rendering it practically unusable. Endrullat’s frustration led him to a moment of impulsivity as he pushed his device through a printing press, coincidentally discovering the distinctive technique. “One of the most interesting aspects of the process is how clearly the progressive destruction of the devices becomes visible after each print,” the artist explains. With each pass through the device becomes increasingly altered, revealing details about...

Over 200 artists and cultural groups are urging the British Museum to “stop erasing Palestine” after the institution altered some wall texts in its Middle East Galleries in the wake of pressure from a pro-Israel group. A letter addressed to the museum's board of trustees and signed by musician and visual artist Brian Eno, among others, also criticizes the museum's previous connections to the Israeli embassy and the oil company British Petroleum (BP), which is accused of profiting from Israel's crimes against humanity in Gaza. While the London museum has denied reports that it removed "Palestine" from its galleries, the group UK Lawyers for Israel publicly claimed that their advocacy led the...

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on March 7, 2026 (photo by Roberto Schmidt/Getty Images)In these unbelievably trying times, as the United States stands embroiled in a string of scary and heartbreaking international conflicts, we as a people expect one thing above all else from our Defense Secretary: image control. Luckily, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, alleged war criminal and highest-ranking military official (under the President), has his priorities in order, and has banned press photographers from Pentagon briefings on the US-Israeli military conflict with Iran, ongoing since the end of February. According to the Washington Post, based on anonymous sources, the move to ban press photographers is a...

Last week researchers at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage of Belgium (KIK-IRPA) announced that they had used scientific analysis to connect a centuries-old Pietà painting to the Italian master Michelangelo. In addition, an independent Italian researcher published a paper which asserted that a marble bust of Christ, housed in a Roman basilica, was a Michelangelo as well. In […]

The National Gallery of Canada (NGC) in Ottawa has received a gift of 24 contemporary artworks from Bob Rennie, one of the country’s leading art collectors, and his family. The donated works include 17 works by Christopher Williams, two works by Kerry James Marshall, four by Brian Jungen, and one by Jin-me Yoon. With this gift, the Rennie family has now given the museum 284 works since 2012. “This gift follows one of the core missions of the collection,” Bob Rennie, who has appeared on the ARTnews Top 200 Collectors list each year since 2015, said in a statement. “Any work leaving the Rennie Collection must go to a better home and with a better custodian than ours.” NGC director and CEO...

Netflix is working up a scripted series about Mexican artist and cultural icon Frida Kahlo and her husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera. The streamer said the drama will show how the couple’s love, betrayals and artistic work were shaped by the political and social atmosphere of the time. Patricia Riggen and Gabriel Ripstein will share directing duties. Mónica Lozano of Alebrije Producciones is producing. The series will be an adaptation of French novelist Claire Berest’s book about Kahlo, which traced her story and that of her relationship with Rivera. María Renée Prudencio will be head writer on the streaming series, which does not yet have a name. Timelines are not yet clear with Netflix...

Twenty-two European ministers are petitioning the organizers of the Venice Biennale to disinvite Russia from the prestigious event’s upcoming sixty-first edition, to open March 9.

Allen's former galleries, Mendes Wood and Olney Gleason, reportedly dropped the artist after he accepted the State Department’s nomination. Look,...

Zahra Hankir took to the streets of Crown Heights to observe the dialogue playing out on lampposts and electrical boxes between pro-Palestine messages, often simple statements of fact, and the responses they elicit. For Acacia, she writes:(One sticker on Nostrand, which illustrates some of these tensions, depicts a keffiyeh‑patterned fence and asks, What if you were in Gaza? What if they were your kids? Someone has added or Israel after Gaza and scrawled onto it: This is antisemitic bc it dehumanizes Jews. Everyone matters. The original poster writes back: Babe, I’m literally Jewish and I put this up xoxo.)‍The rawness of the pro‑Palestine graffiti, Judy notes, underscores its authenticity: “It’s...

The Denver Art Museum in Colorado announced this week that it acquired more than 750 works across all 11 of its curatorial departments in roughly the last year, with an emphasis on further diversifying its collection. Made between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025, the acquisitions included Tishan Hsu’s mammal-screen-green-1 (2024) and Jackie Amézquita’s el SUDOR de mi GENTE (2023), as well as works artists who had solo exhibitions at the museum in 2025 such as Dawoud Bey and Kent Monkman. The museum also acquired two important historical pieces by women: Berthe Morisot’s painting La Leçon au jardin (The Lesson in the Garden), from 1886, which was already on view but was only formally accessioned...

While collector Leon Black continues to face controversy over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, he has found a defender in Glenn Lowry, a former director of the Museum of Modern Art, the New York institution where Black is currently a board member. Black was previously chair of MoMA’s board, but he left that position in 2021 following the publication of reports on his friendship and business relationship with Epstein. Prior to his departure from that position, activists and high-profile artists had called for Black’s ejection. That year, Black also departed his role as CEO of the investment firm Apollo Global Management. In 2023, Black paid $62.5 million to the US Virgin Islands to settle...

There are many occasions when language fails me, when a poet’s hand seems what is needed to get to the truth of a thing—a man’s life, a work of art, a life of art. This is such a moment. To call the oil paintings of Eyvind Earle “landscapes” is accurate but very sorely wanting. For […]

I, like so many others of that generation lost to the internet, have been thinking about friction lately. How technology’s promise of seamless interconnection across people, geographies, and time has ultimately made each of us more alone. About the price we pay, if we’re willing, for community. I thought about friction as I walked back and forth across Franklin Street in Greenpoint alongside a guy with a bike, looking for the project space Subtitled NYC; we finally found it behind one of multiple doors labeled with the same number. I thought about friction as I ducked under an intricate (and maybe not fire code-approved) armature of painted and taped-over wooden beams housing a television screen that had...

A page missing from The Archimedes Palimpsest, the oldest extant copy of writings by the ancient Greek mathematician, was rediscovered at the Museum of Fine Arts in Blois, France. One side of the page, which had been missing for 120 years, contains part of Archimedes’s treatise On the Sphere and the Cylinder, while the other was covered over with an illumination sometime in the 20th century. The Palimpsest dates back to the 10th century in Greece and features several written works by Archimedes, parts of which were erased in the Middle Ages so as to reuse the parchment for other material. “This practice of recycling was common at the time for such animal-skin writing materials, which were extremely...

A Transitional Structure opens at Limbo Museum
 
The Limbo Museum opens an architectural installation in Accra, Ghana, reinterpreting the traditional Japanese porch, or ‘engawa’. The project was developed in partnership with New York-based art center Art Omi and designed by TAELON7 under the direction of architect Juergen Benson-Strohmayer.
 
Set within the skeletal concrete frame that houses Limbo Museum, which opened in November 2025, the project introduces a series of lightweight woven structures that reshape the unfinished building into a space for gathering. The intervention operates within a space that remains open to the elements, where columns and slabs outline rooms yet the surrounding landscape...

‘Seahorse’ ridges for concept wireless gaming controllers 
 
Concept wireless gaming controllers LEVION fits pre-teens’ hands using a ridged design inspired by the form of seahorses. Designed for a set of thumbstick caps on PlayStation controllers, the project is aimed at players between the ages of 9 and 12. The designer’s reference for the shape was the seahorse because it holds its body in a vertical position. It has a curved spine that bends from the head to the tail, and along the length of its torso, the seahorse has a series of bony rings that create this series of rigid slides. 
 
Then, the head of the seahorse sits at the top of that curve, and the snout extends forward. These four...

In the practices of Beverly Price and Gordon Parks, photography operates on a continuum. Images, for them, are both dynamic and archival, documenting a singular moment that continues to communicate with the viewer long after that time has passed. A Language We Share, opening this month at the Center for Art and Advocacy, probes these expansive and evolving interpretations of the practice by putting Price and Parks in direct conversation. One of the most lauded photographers of his time, Parks (1912-2006) embedded himself in American life from the 1940s onward, creating distinctive images for magazines like Ebony and Glamour and embarking on projects rooted in civil rights and social justice. He considered his...

O-Boy smartwatch sends emergency alerts via satellite
 
O-Boy is a satellite-based emergency smartwatch developed by the Brussels design studio Futurewave. The device is designed for situations in which mobile phone networks are unavailable, allowing users to transmit emergency alerts through satellite communication. The project combines industrial design, antenna engineering, and embedded systems within a wearable format intended for use in remote environments.
 
The concept addresses the limitations of conventional mobile networks, which cover only part of the Earth’s surface. In remote locations such as mountains, open water, or isolated work sites, access to communication infrastructure can be limited...

Chilean architect receives industry’s highest honor
 
Smiljan Radić Clarke has been named the 2026 laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the profession’s most widely recognized international honor. The announcement celebrates a body of work that invites people to experience architecture through atmosphere, material presence, and a sense of discovery. He becomes the second architect from the country to receive the honor, following Alejandro Aravena, who won the prize in 2016.
 
Born in Santiago, Chile in 1965 and working there since establishing his studio in 1995, Radić has built a reputation for architecture that feels deeply personal and site-attentive. Across houses, cultural buildings,...

Lise Davidsen, Michael Spyres, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin are astonishing in Tristan und Isolde at the Met, while Yuval Sharon's new production is anything but.

From unassuming hunks of Carrara marble and limestone, Matthew Simmonds carves realistic, miniature gothic cathedral arches, stairwells, and colonnades. Often based on architectural details of real places, such as cities around Tuscany and Germany’s Bamberg Cathedral, the sculptures portray intimate details of corners, vaulted ceilings, arcades, and stairwells that can sometimes be peeked through additional apertures. The artist’s meticulously carved marble and limestone forms reveal smooth, ornate interiors while highlighting the natural quality of the stone. Lately, Simmonds has been working consistently on a range of commissions, and he’s taking advantage of a current quiet period to return to...

solidnature transforms stone into atmospheric material
 
For David Mahyari, natural stone is far more than a building material. It is a record of geological time, a medium of artistic expression, and a catalyst for immersive design. The owner of SolidNature has spent the past decade redefining how architects, designers, and audiences experience stone, transforming it from a conventional surface into a material capable of atmospheric storytelling and emotion.
 
Operating between craftsmanship, technology, and design culture, SolidNature works with some of the world’s most striking natural stones and translates them into architectural environments, collectible pieces, and large scale installations. The...

The history of photography is often written through movements, technologies and aesthetics, yet it is equally shaped by the restless individuals who carried cameras across borders in search of understanding. Travel photography has long been entangled with questions of representation, power and cultural encounter. Today, contemporary audiences revisit early documentary images not simply as records, but as layered testimonies shaped by the conditions of their time. Against this backdrop, the work of Ella Maillart stands out for its rare combination of curiosity, independence and empathy. Her photographs do not merely catalogue distant landscapes but attempt to trace the rhythms of everyday life across regions...

 
We’re very pleased to announce that the first in our The Colour Library series, BLUE, is now available to order now from the Shutter Hub shop!
The Colour Library is a curated series of photo books exploring the emotional, symbolic, and visual power of colour. Each edition is a visual exploration and celebration of one colour, showcasing its presence, symbolism, and emotional range across different photographic styles and perspectives.

Daguerreotypes. Photograms. Double exposure. Today, we’re spotlighting five experimental photography exhibitions. These shows feature a mix of 20th century pioneers, like Lillian Bassman, whose visionary work redefined fashion and fine art photography, alongside contemporary practitioners such as Garry Fabian Miller and Liz Nielsen, who continue to explore light, colour and process in groundbreaking ways. Across these exhibitions, each image challenges perception, interrogates memory and celebrates the material and conceptual possibilities of lens-based medium. This is traditional imagery, reimagined. Liz Nielsen: Interdimensional Timelines  Joseloff Gallery at Hartford School of Art | Until 11 April ...

È con questa domanda che il visitatore è invitato ad attraversare la mostra collettiva Aria Notturna,  in corso alla Galleria Zero…, realizzata in collaborazione con Neue Alte Brücke e Matt Williams, che indaga le risposte dell’ambiente ai mutamenti di stato derivanti dall’oscurità, dai sistemi di illuminazione e di sorveglianza. Strumenti che colpiscono non solo lo spazio della rappresentazione, ma soprattutto quello della percezione, dando vita a una rete immateriale di stimoli e di informazioni.

Thaler’s attempts to attain a copyright for […]

In mid-2025, the Trump administration rescinded $9 billion in public media funding and foreign aid, including $1.1 billion slated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CBP). CBP, in turn, was responsible for distributing funding to organizations like National Public Radio (NPR), Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), and their member stations across the nation. The corporation was established following a 1967 law called the Public Broadcasting Act, but just like that, when the funds were no longer there, CBP voted to dissolve. What did NPR have to say about that? Its “mission will continue, unchanged.” NPR aims “to create a more informed public—one challenged and invigorated by a deeper...

In the spectacular, lofty photos of Dani Guindo, heavy clouds and mercurial pools glow amid an Icelandic landscape. The Spanish artist, based in Reykjavík, seeks unique relationships between light, form, and atmosphere. In Iceland, the vicissitudes of the weather and the stark, glacial landscape continually stoke his interests. Guindo typically uses drones to capture a wide range of angles, from panoramas of glaciers and mountains to vertical shots of silty streams that appear almost abstract. His latest series, Terminus, captures a glacier’s many rivulets amid a rocky landscape, along with a ghostly, rounded outline revealing evidence of the glacier’s earlier phases. The glacier is Múlajökull, which...

Parterre Box features a performance from two belcantisti who would rather you not think about their political affiliations.

In art and life, the future has emerged as both a caution and a possibility. The climate crisis, accelerating technologies and new planetary infrastructures now shape the narratives artists construct about tomorrow. Increasingly, creative practice is less about prediction and more about rehearsal, imagining how humanity might navigate the realities unfolding. The news cycle right now shows a new senseless war, and this, coupled with Gaza and Ukraine, sees the planet inching closer and closer to that doomsday clock.  Immersive exhibitions have emerged as powerful arenas for this speculative thinking, intersecting art, science fiction and design, They allow audiences not merely to observe but to inhabit...

Nello spazio espositivo zerozerosullivellodelmare a Pescara, diretto da Lúcio Rosato, è in corso la mostra “In gioco” del collettivo artistico abruzzese Di Bernardo Rietti Toppeta. La mostra è un’indagine sull’evoluzione del gioco nel tempo e sul gioco inteso come terreno fertile in cui le potenzialità intellettuali dell’individuo possono evolversi, soprattutto recuperando il contatto con la Natura e stabilendo delle connessioni sociali e umane, non soltanto virtuali. Il progetto nasce come riflessione su come la nascita delle nuove tecnologie e lo sviluppo dei videogiochi, abbiano influito soprattutto sulle nuove generazioni e sulla loro percezione della realtà, modificando il loro modo di...

By Kristine Schomaker I keep seeing Liberal Jane's work pop up across different platforms - Instagram, obviously, but also sliding through Facebook, saved in Pinterest boards, shared in group chats. This immersion matters more than I think we acknowledge. These aren't gallery pieces waiting for the right audience to find them. They're already embedded in the actual digital infrastructure where people are trying to survive right now. Caitlin Blunnie has been making this work for seven years,...

Time to Act at Pittsburgh Opera effectively employs Greek tragedy to explore the all-too-common tragedies haunting schools across the United States.

No one in my experience both live and on records could swagger, spin out roulades, and ripple through Rossini and Handel like Samuel Ramey.

Before hearing Samuel Ramey as Zaccaria in Nabucco, I had always been more interested in higher voices.

Parks. Railway stations. City halls. Hotels. Theatres. Abstract artist Tada Minami (1924-2014) was committed to practice that spanned beyond the confines of the museum. She often left her creations in urban spaces, where they have since formed an integral part of everyday life. Across an almost 70-year career, she covered huge ground, varying her approach to both material and scale. Her works include massive, stainless-steel sculptures that appear to rise sharply skywards; glass and acrylic constructions that reflect the environment; and “Illuminated Walls,” which contain richly-coloured light. Tada is emblematic of a postwar Japan that was rapidly modernising, transforming itself into the nation of...

In alcuni artisti la creatività è fortemente intrecciata al vissuto, mentre in altri la componente autobiografica è meno influente. Alla prima categoria di sicuro appartiene Robert Mapplethorpe, la cui produzione fotografica è connessa a un’esistenza diventata, nell’ultimo decennio, molto crudele e a una biografia personale che diventa sociale. All’osservatore capita così, di fronte alle sue fotografie, di non poter fare a meno di sentire il vissuto dell’artista, incrociandolo con le immagini, anche quando – e ne è la maggioranza – le immagini hanno un tono distante e opposto al dolore esistenziale. Un vissuto che si dipana, sia nella vita vera sia nella fotografia, anche pensando agli...

The Hasselblad Award is one of the world’s most prestigious accolades in photography. The prize – comprising a gold medal, camera, solo show and SEK 2,000,000 – has been given out annually since 1980, and its honourees read like a who’s who of contemporary image-making. Previous winners include Alfredo Jaar, Carrie Mae Weems, Cindy Sherman, Graciela Iturbide, Jeff Wall, Nan Goldin and Wolfgang Tillmans, as well as icons of the 20th century like Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank and William Eggleston. Now, Zanele Muholi (b. 1972) joins this list, becoming the 2026 laureate. Muholi has paved new ground by using the camera as a tool for visual activism, first and foremost claiming...

The Pacific Northwest is perhaps the wildest, most breathtaking region in the continental United States.

It reminds us of when […]

Lo spazio del contemporaneo è lo spazio digitale; la maggior parte del nostro quotidiano si svolge a contatto con strumenti digitali, con display iper-connessi e con flussi incessanti. Byung-Chul Han legge il digitale come zona che produce, paradossalmente alle premesse originali, solitudine e frammentazione, “uno sciame di individui isolati” (Nello sciame, 2013). Invece, tra le pieghe di una città analogica che interroga il rapporto tra icone e contemporaneo come Venezia, una mostra collettiva apre su una prospettiva alternativa.  Restiamo umani!
