I was married to an artist once. It was not a good experience, although calling it “an experience” makes it sound like a unified, parsable thing, and it wasn’t that, either. We’re all adults here, is what I’m getting at — so no one should imagine that anyone has bulletproof insight into anyone else’s romantic relationship, much less their own. Certainly, once a relationship is over, it becomes a moving target in permanence: the good, the bad, and the ugly all trading places, each a microcosm in which various genres of chaos and ecstasy hold sway. And whatever we may think of other people’s marriages, we must take care. What we believe we know is almost always something we meant to say about...
When Patti Smith inaugurated the Holy See Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in May, the artist used her sound installation like a spiritual guide — one that asked audiences to listen, contemplate, and remember that their own intellect (not an artificially generated one) remains paramount to personal and spiritual enrichment. That sentiment appears to resonate with Pope Leo XIV, who stated that the Catholic Church plans to renew its alliance with artists and cultural institutions at the Vatican's Consistory Hall on Friday, October 2, amid rising threats of censorship and homogenization under AI. "There is an ontological difference — even before an aesthetic one — between art and what a machine can...
Crowds of visitors have swarmed the British Museum since the Bayeux Tapestry arrived in London from its home in Normandy, France, earlier this fall. Along with unprecedented attendance figures and fervent international interest in the 230-foot-long textile have come some visitor experience snafus, including closing early due to an unrelated gala dinner and being sued by a blind man for not providing audio tours. In response to some of these issues, which have resulted in visitors not being able to fully experience the 11th-century tapestry—or, in some cases, being turned away, despite having secured tickets to the sold-out exhibition—the British Museum has announced various changes to the overall visitor...
AGRAVITAS HOVERS ABOVE BILBAO FINE ARTS MUSEUM
A new volume now hangs above the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, spanning architecture built several decades apart. Foster + Partners and Bilbao architect Luis María Uriarte have completed Agravitas, an expansion that adds around 6,000 square meters to the museum while leaving its 1945 building and 1970 addition clearly visible below. The new structure stretches 55 meters between groups of tubular V-shaped columns, forming a broad elevated bridge whose deep cantilevers project toward the surrounding city. The museum reopens to the public on October 6th, 2026.
From the street, this upper layer changes the museum’s silhouette immediately. Its long horizontal edges...

In a Friday address at the Vatican, Pope Leo told artists and curators that the Church needs them, especially in the age of AI. The pontiff weighed in at the very moment when some experts are predicting that artificial intelligence could wipe out humankind within a decade, and just three days after US president Donald Trump rallied some of the world’s top architects of frontier AI models at the White House to sign an agreement to regulate themselves. The pope spoke to the artists and curators at the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace, telling them that the Church needs them and adding, “This is especially true in this age of artificial intelligence, in which we urgently need to distinguish human art from what is...
It’s divorce season. Princess Diana’s Christina Stambolian dress, otherwise dubbed “the revenge dress” is coming to auction at Sotheby’s London on December 9 for an estimate of $150,000 to $300,000; Sienna Miller and Dominic West’s divorce drama “War” premiered this week, and on Tuesday in Geneva, Sotheby’s is hosting a panel discussion titled “The Art of Divorce.” Julian Washington, head of tax, heritage and U.K. museums and fiduciary client groups at Sotheby’s will moderate the panel discussion between Judith Chatoo, head of private clients at Saffery Trust; Sirin Yüce, a partner at the law firm Charles Russell Speechlys and Johan Nauckhoff, head of fine art at Sotheby’s...

My grandfather was born near Black River, the Jamaican port town where the infamous ship the Zong docked in 1781 after the massacre of 133 enslaved Africans who were thrown overboard and killed for an insurance claim. Blood in the river mouth, Black River’s waterway flows into the Atlantic Ocean, where I used to picture the scene of English Romantic artist J. M. W. Turner’s oft-cited painting “The Slave Ship” (1840). But according to Turner and the Slave Trade (2026), by University of Plymouth Emeritus art historian Sam Smiles, I was wrong to associate the two so strongly. The author, who co-curated the Tate’s 2014 traveling exhibition Late Turner: Painting Set Free, contends the tableau of “The...
In archaeology, discoveries typically prompt more questions than answers. For Max Lehman, who studies Pre-Columbian art history, what we don’t know—and may never—about ancient peoples and civilizations is what makes the discipline so compelling. The ancient Mayans, for example, bedecked their elaborate temples with images on carved rock slabs, and the Aztec sun stone, or calendar stone, is a remarkable example of Mexica sculpture. Lehman’s work has one foot in the advanced civilizations of the past and another in the distant future, a time long after today’s developments around robotic and machine learning technologies. His current show Ancestral Androids at Hecho a Mano delves into a kind of future...
former workers’ washroom in Zurich frames group exhibition
What happens when contemporary design is taken out of its usual setting? Dislocated Utility_Objects out of Place is a site-specific group exhibition curated by Paulina Reséndiz and Natascha Madeiski and presented during Zurich Design Weeks 2026 in a former SBB workers’ washroom in Zurich. The exhibition brings together 25 artists, designers, and craft-oriented practitioners, exploring the space between design, art, and craft through a range of material practices.
The former washroom was originally built for SBB workers and their families whose homes did not have private bathrooms. Its original spatial structure remains visible, including...

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago has received a $5 million endowment from trustee and board vice chair Leslie Bluhm, on behalf of the Chicago philanthropic Bluhm family, that will benefit the institution’s Women Artists Initiative (WAI), which is geared toward ensuring gender equity in the museum’s exhibition programming and permanent collection. To mark the upcoming departure of longtime MCA Chicago director Madeleine Grynsztejn, who established the initiative, the WAI will be renamed the Madeleine Fund for Women Artists. “Madeleine, I think, has been all of our teacher and mentor, and the greatest leader. It makes perfect sense that it’s in her name, recognizing everything that she has done. We...
Philip Tinari was named director of Tai Kwun Arts, after less than one year since he began working there, according to a press release from the Hong Kong arts and heritage center. His appointment is among two others, with Chin Chin Teoh named managing director and Timothy Calnin as director of special projects. Tai Kwun is an integrated institution, comprised of The Jockey Club CPS Limited and Tai Kwun Culture & Arts Company Limited, in partnership with the Hong Kong SAR Government, located in the former Central Police Station of Hong Kong. The 1841 building consists of three Declared Monuments—the former Central Police Station, Central Magistracy, and Victoria Prison—which together received the Award of...
After 26 years at the helm of Yaddo, the storied artist retreat currently celebrating its 100th anniversary, Elaina Richardson is moving on.

As a child in Dashishan Village in southern China, Tang Shuo was afraid of snakes. He and several generations of the Tang family lived together in a small community and farmed the land, tending to crops and sheep and encountering the occasional reptile. In a vivid new painting on linen, the artist confronts this adolescent fear as he envisions himself grasping a sleek, black serpent, its recently shed skin lying beneath them. Long interested in his ancestry and familial connection to the land, Tang once again journeys to his home territory for Borrowed History, his first solo exhibition in New York. This body of work extends the artist’s approach to questioning how our heritage informs our understanding of...
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art (LMNA), which opened to the public last weekend, has added temporary fencing around its public plaza, a green space that the museum’s architect, Ma Yansong, has called the “Gateway” between Los Angeles and the museum.

The local philanthropist Sukumar Nagendran hopes his gift will deepen cultural understanding of the region and elevate its art
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) have announced an increase in city-funded grants for individual artists and small nonprofits, from five thousand dollars to ten thousand. This is the first increase in grant awards in nearly twenty years. Grant money will be disbursed annually through […]
From nail-cloaked ceramic vessels to larger-than-life busts influenced by African and Oceanic visual culture, Sharif Bey’s bold works summon the complexities of heritage, identity, and society. In his ceramic and mixed-media Guardian Series and Crown Series, calm yet imposing figures evoke the Benin Bronzes, ceremonial masking traditions, the giant Moai stone heads of Easter Island, and more. Bey has long been interested in the commanding nature of objects, especially the ways in which colonialist forces have mined cultural heritage. The Benin Bronzes, which artisans created during the 14th century in what is now Nigeria, are a prime example: British troops looted thousands of plaques in 1897, and The...
red incision marks physical scars of land intervention in Erimitis
In Erimitis, one of the last major undeveloped coastal ecosystems in northeastern Corfu, Greece, artist The Krank has created Wound, a temporary 50-meter-long land art installation. Presented fourteen years after the movement to protect the area began, the work uses the image of a bodily injury to address the marks left by human intervention on the landscape.
An oversized red incision appears to split the land open, while black stitches connect its two sides. The gesture translates bodily trauma to the scale of the landscape, making the vulnerability of the site visible through a familiar physical image. Members of the local community...

STUDIO KO REIMAGINES BUS PALLADIUM IN PIGALLE
On rue Pierre Fontaine in Paris’ Pigalle district, Studio KO has brought Bus Palladium club back into the night — this time as a five-star hotel. Opened on April 10, 2026, the project brings together 35 rooms and suites, a restaurant and bar, a rooftop and an underground club within a building that rises six floors above the street and extends deep below it. Led by architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty, the intervention does not attempt to recreate the former venue room by room. Instead, it translates its history through materials, atmosphere and a few carefully preserved signals. The red neon is back; the program simply got taller.

Freddie Yauner on turning the mirror away from the self
‘The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world,’ Agnes Varda once said. Freddie Yauner takes that gesture literally, and through his Mirror Mask he replaces the reflection of the wearer with whatever is in front of them. In an exclusive interview with designboom, the London-based artist looks back at how his project has evolved from an experiment at the Royal College of Art to an object that unexpectedly found a life within the very image culture it was questioning.
Yauner describes Mirror Mask as an ‘anti-selfie’, but the term only begins to explain what has happened...

Seeing and hearing Lorraine Hunt Lieberson sing Didon at the Met was one of the greatest performances in my many years of opera going.
By Kristine Schomaker Friday night I stood at the AIDS Monument in West Hollywood and watched artists perform five-minute pieces in the open air as the sun went down. ACTION = LIFE, presented by LACE and the Performance Art Museum as part of Circa: Queer Histories Festival. A marathon of performances. So many friends. So much history in one place. I drove home still feeling it. Thinking about the first performance I ever saw that made me understand what my own work was actually about....
One mezzo I have always enjoyed was Elena Obraztsova.
Gaia Alari’s works are defined by a distinct, effervescent visual language. Made from thousands of handmade drawings on paper, the artist’s elaborate animations put on strikingly tactile performances as fleeting marks of oil pastel and charcoal dance across the screen. Meandering botanical forms, gestural bodies, and sweeping birds converge into fluid loops that create a rhythm reminiscent of a stream of consciousness. Whether Alari is collaborating with a brand, exploring personal interests, or creating static illustrations, it’s clear that each piece tells a distinct story. Watch more from the artist on Vimeo and keep up with her explorations on Instagram. Do stories and artists like this matter to...
How might we visualize the inextricable web of space, time, and matter, enormous concepts that are so systemic they can almost become abstract? Rendering these connections in a tangible, accessible, and even participatory manner continues to ground Tomás Saraceno’s multidisciplinary practice. Born in Argentina and based in Berlin, the artist plays with scale and spectacle to draw our attention to the life-giving ecosystems in which we’re all bound, merging art, architecture, and science into alluring works. At Haus der Kunst, Saraceno’s ecological and collaborative projects take center stage for a sweeping presentation titled Ancestral Futures. Spanning more than two decades, the solo exhibition emerges...

By Kristine Schomaker I learned yesterday that my friend Scott Froschauer died suddenly. I've known him for almost ten years, and I'm still trying to find a place to put this. Scott was a Shoebox artist, one of the early ones. We worked together on several projects, but the one I keep coming back to is an art salon we put together on consent, negotiation, and the male gaze, how the male posture of viewing women frames any sign of femininity as an invitation, and what it would mean to actually...

Marigold Santos’s spectral forms are as layered with detail as they are with metaphor. Swirling amid marbled backgrounds in a feverish dance, they serve as critical examinations of cultural injustice. Their textures materialize their celestial properties as they become fierce teachers of colonial violence, problematic histories, and forgotten ancestry. Covertly, her haunting figural silhouettes aim […]

Skeletons, tombstones, and serpents. These are just a few of the iconic images pre-v ailing throughout the works of Morgan Sorensen—all relating to the themes of struggle, sadness, pain, and death.

It is credited with ‘democratising photography’ on a global level – and now Shutter Hub is making its most democratic move yet. As of this month, the organisation will pass into the control of the community it was built for, in what founder Karen Harvey MBE describes as ‘a logical next step: to make things more equitable we need multiple perspectives.’ The announcement follows Karen’s decision to remove paid memberships last year, making Shutter Hub ‘fully open-access and available at no cost to all’. It’s a typically altruistic move from the social entrepreneur: also the founder of Toiletries Amnesty, the award-winning NGO. She was made an MBE in 2024 for services to people living in hygiene...
The week of Art Basel is for me the most compelling moment in the city, and this year it reaffirmed its position as the most closely watched annual event in the international art calendar.
The City Series by Shutter Hub is an ongoing publishing project exploring the people, places, cultures, and contradictions that shape cities around the world. Rather than documenting a location as a fixed subject, the series invites photographers to respond to a city as an idea: something experienced, observed, imagined, and interpreted through the photographic eye.

For an artist to return to painting after life‑altering injury is to witness the human spirit at its most unguarded. In such a moment, understanding the forces that carry you back to the page becomes all‑important, and in Joel Bradish Nichols’ case, the answers lie in the people and pursuits he had cherished. In a coma for months after a near‑fatal accident, his re‑emergence into artistic practice becomes inseparable from a narrative of devotion and determination — a surrounding spiritedness...
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.

From here, the individual narratives invite a closer reading. By Anna-Lena...
