Karolina Wiktor creates a new language born from absence
 
Karolina Wiktor’s Cartography of Motherhood at the Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw brings together drawing, gesture, and sound to trace the artist’s experience of post-stroke aphasia through the lens of motherhood. Following a ruptured aneurysm and strokes in 2009, Wiktor rebuilt her practice around visual and concrete poetry, developing the Czcionka Braku (Font of Absence), a typographic system born of incomplete, illegible letters recorded during acute aphasia.
 
‘Stroke and aphasia are highly complex conditions, and aphasia is among the most challenging disabilities overall. Rehabilitation must be holistic,’ the artist tells...

Spring in Upstate New York might just be my favorite time and place in the world— I love that sense of hope, renewal, and relief as those ceaseless gray days finally surrender to color. Speaking of, there's some pretty great art on view in the region, as our favorite Upstate art writer, Taliesin Thomas, proves in her guide this month.Today, a new survey finds that art museums and organizations led by people of color are disproportionately understaffed, relying heavily on volunteer work to serve their communities. Also in the news, artist Ali Cherri, who won the Silver Lion Award for best film feature at the 2022 Venice Biennale, files a war crimes complaint against Israel for a Beirut strike that...

MJ Fraser builds lamps using trees from his childhood garden
 
Trees From The Garden is a collection of lamps by MJ Fraser, developed from impressions of trees found in the designer’s childhood garden. Each piece is formed using individual moulds taken from sections of bark and branches, resulting in distinct variations across the series. The lamps are fabricated primarily from a biodegradable thermoplastic, establishing a material system that combines organic reference with synthetic processing.
 
The project reconsiders the use of trees in design by focusing on external surface qualities rather than conventional timber extraction. Instead of processing wood into standardized elements, the approach...

big carves not a hotel Setouchi villas into the hillside
 
Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) completes NOT A HOTEL Setouchi, a resort of three distinct villas on the remote island of Sagishima, Japan, marking the Copenhagen-based studio’s first built work in the country. Set on a 30,000-square-meter site on the southwestern cape of the island, the project integrates directly into the hillside’s natural contours, with load-bearing walls made from soil excavated on-site using the traditional rammed earth technique. 
 
The design (find designboom’s previous coverage here) draws openly on Japanese vernacular architecture, reinterpreting its logic through a Scandinavian sensibility. Glass facades dissolve the...

Five video works by Angelica Mesiti (b. 1976) are now on view at Museum Tinguely in Basel. It’s the first comprehensive solo show of the Paris-based artist to open in Switzerland. Mesiti has worked at the intersection of performance, sound and video since the early 2000s, creating pieces that explore the ways in which nonverbal communication – like dance, music and movement – can build connections between people. It’s an approach that has led to international recognition, including representing Australia – her home country – at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019. Museum Tinguely’s exhibition is, fittingly, called Reverb – in reference to both acoustic reverberation, and the way human...

ANTONIOLUPI PRESENTS CARSICO WASHBASIN IN MARBLE 
 
Designed for antoniolupi, the CARSICO washbasin in reimagines the traditional freestanding marble fixture by exposing the raw, internal processes of stone-hollowing. Starting from a solid block of botticino marble, designer Paolo Ulian reveals a honeycomb structure, treating the negative space as a primary aesthetic. The result is a sculptural form that achieves a unique lightness while maintaining the solid presence of stone, allowing light and shadow to play through the exposed drill holes. From workshop tradition to the vanguard of contemporary design, antoniolupi’s release by Paolo Ulian transforms the bathroom fixture into a narrative of subtraction...

Arte cinetica – un omaggio di Ferruccio Gard a Vasarely è una mostra nata da una coincidenza significativa: il 2026 segna i 120 anni dalla nascita di Victor Vasarely, padre dell’Op Art, e i 50 anni della Fondation Vasarely, istituzione che continua a custodire e diffondere la sua eredità. Nel contempo, Ferruccio Gard celebra i suoi 85, scegliendo di rendere omaggio al maestro ungherese con cui condivide la passione per la percezione, il colore e il movimento.

PLNLstudio reforms sewage tank into a refined living space
 
Rotterdam-based PLNLstudio transforms a former sewage tank into the Trommel no.4 apartment in Amsterdam. This flat is located on the first floor of a unique building designed by SeARCH architects; a striking example of adaptive reuse, where former concrete storage tanks from a sewage treatment plant have been transformed into contemporary living spaces. From the outset, the design approach aimed to embrace the building’s unconventional geometry and raw materiality, integrating the apartment into its architectural context. The material palette reflects this intent with concrete floors, custom-built furniture that echoes the tones of the window...

A first-time operagoer is lured to Thaïs at Opera Idaho by the promise of a new experience… and Neil, the Burmese python

Architecture, memory and the poetics of concrete converge in Brutal Scotland, an exhibition that situates post-war modernism within a broader cultural and emotional terrain. At its core, the show interrogates how built environments embody ideological ambition, social rupture and aesthetic endurance. Photography here becomes not merely documentary but interpretive. The tension between decay and resilience runs throughout, suggesting that these structures are far from static relics. Instead, they operate as living documents of a nation’s evolving identity. In this sense, the exhibition positions Brutalism as a lens through which to reconsider histories of progress, failure and reinvention. Emerging from this...

William Parker's career launch coincided with the closet door fully opening for American male classical vocalists; the cruel irony is that Will was also an early AIDS casualty, gone in 1993 at 49.

Has the history of design influenced how we process and recall music? Art of Noise, on view at Cooper Hewitt in New York, explores this question through an array of archival objects, including band posters, album art and interactive vintage equipment. Split between two spaces, the exhibition’s first half showcases gadgets galore, examining the evolving relationship with product design. From early phonographs to Bluetooth speakers, the show traces technological advancements in sound quality, portability and consumer listening choices, alongside shifting aesthetic preferences amongst the public. Vision 2000, for example, a cassette player and radio designed by Thilo Oerke in 1971, capitalised on the cultural...

Nel contemporaneo, l’emersione di un’opera dipende dalle trame che ne governano accesso e trasmissione epistemica. Curatori, istituzioni, fiere e mecenati formano un ecosistema di validazione di rilevanza che decide quali espressioni affiorano e quali restano ai margini. L’interpretazione della statura intellettuale e la ricezione sociale derivano dal rapporto tra gli agenti, procedure e strumenti coordinati, favorendo il rafforzamento di una egemonia nella sfera performativa.

An 11-year-long legal dispute over a prized Amedeo Modigliani painting looted during World War II has concluded in a loss for billionaire art dealer David Nahmad and his family, marking an unlikely restitution victory for the heirs of its original Jewish owner. A New York judge ruled this week that Seated Man With a Cane (1918) rightfully belongs to the estate of Oscar Stettiner, a Jewish art dealer who left the portrait behind under duress while fleeing Paris ahead of the Nazi occupation. The court found that the painting was illicitly seized and illegitimately transferred, rejecting the Nahmads’ longstanding argument that its provenance, or ownership history, was unclear. “Oscar Stettiner owned or at a...

Led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Yoann Combémorel, the Curtis Symphony Orchestra proves themselves the equal of any major American orchestra in a program of Mahler, Wagner, and Dawson.

Gisela Colón didn’t plan to become an artist. “I studied law because I thought it would protect me,” she told ARTnews, looking back on a childhood in Puerto Rico shaped as much by instability as it was by the farm in the outskirts of Bayamón where she grew up.  She left San Juan in 1987 on a Truman scholarship, built a career in environmental law in California, and spent her twenties and thirties raising two sons. Making art, which she learned from her mother, a painter, remained secondary. It wasn’t until her kids left for college that she returned to it fully. “That was my time,” she said.  Now, nearly four decades later, Colón is the subject of two institutional solo...

At the intersection of fashion, art, and the uncanny, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin have for four decades challenged the ways we perceive images. Can Love Be A Photograph – 40 Years of Inez & Vinoodh, at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, offers a monumental survey of a career defined by its refusal to settle, blending the quotidian with the surreal and the personal with the performative. Their work operates in the liminal space where digital manipulation, intimacy, and high-gloss fashion imagery converge, revealing both the extraordinary and the unsettling within everyday life. “Inez & Vinoodh have been able to create something utterly fantastic; an invisible reality that looks artificial but is not. A...

This song has always been one of my favorites.

Salvador Dalí’s paintings of Christ are among his most polarizing works. Does his rarefied version of religion alienate us from the divine, or push us closer to transcendence? This week, Ed Simon plumbs Dalí’s “nuclear mysticism,” a marriage of quantum physics and Catholic faith that yielded a Crucifixion so unsettling it was physically attacked not once, but twice.In other reads for a most pious or delightfully secular weekend, Emily Drew Miller embraces matzah as a medium to examine political rifts in the Jewish faith; Natalie Haddad takes us inside The Met's new Raphael show; and curator Ryan N. Dennis shares her journey from community engagement to leadership.Plus: Check out our exclusive...

From the moment Martin Parr’s work gained international attention, it challenged conventional ideas about documentary photography and how audiences engage with the everyday world. Parr turned his lens to the overlooked: seaside holidays, domestic rituals, fast-food wrappers, souvenirs and the subtle routines of daily life. Across his career, he elevated the ordinary into the extraordinary, capturing scenes that were simultaneously humorous, absurd and revealing. The exhibition Very Modern and Rather Ugly at Foam, running from 3 April to 12 August, encapsulates this legacy, bringing together the vibrancy, wit and sharp social observation that defined his practice. Visitors encounter a world that feels...

Basterebbe una sola frase per donare la chiave di lettura alla mostra personale di Flaviu Cacoveanu presso Parliament Gallery, a Parigi. Una frase con chiarezza semplice e potente esprime il concetto che si potrebbe dire essere alla base di ogni suo lavoro esposto: “Quello che si può osservare può significare diverse cose, ma ciò che importa davvero è cosa significano per te”. Così si presenta Conceptual Play, una mostra che, giocando con gli elementi della vita quotidiana, finisce per interrogare continuamente l’osservatore, facendolo ragionare sulla realtà che lo circonda e sulla vita stessa.

I LISTEN TO PODCASTS on the train, while washing dishes, sometimes while walking around.

Yet on a beautiful Saturday morning in late […]

The manuscript pages, prints and calligraphy had been seized by Canadian authorities as they arrived in Vancouver from Istanbul

The Pérez Art Museum Miami announced this week that it will host an exhibition bringing together about 10 works by Jean-Michel Basquiat that are owned by Kenneth C. Griffin, one of the world’s top collectors. Titled “Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols,” the exhibition will feature nine paintings and one sculpture by the artist and concentrate on his “implementation of classic themes such as portraiture and the figure, script and language, and his conceptual amplification of color, form, and composition,” according to a release. “Figures, Signs, Symbols” is curated by PAMM director Franklin Sirmans, who was a cocurator of a traveling show on the artist that debuted at the Brooklyn Museum in 2005,...

Two people finished their terms on the institution’s Board of Regents in early March and have yet to be replaced

Three weeks after Easter in 1961, at Glasgow’s red-brick, resplendent, rococo Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a 22-year-old man took a rock to Salvador Dalí’s enigmatic 1951 painting “Christ of Saint John of the Cross.” At a red museum in a green corner of a gray city, out of a surfeit of zealous religious conviction, a vandal had torn an eight-foot gash in the body of Christ. It would not be the only act of vandalism perpetrated against the Dalí painting, for a little less than two decades later, another aspiring iconoclast took an air rifle to the canvas, though this time curators had seen fit to seal it behind a thick layer of clear acrylic in preparation for precisely this possibility. In an...

The appointment of new trustees for the Smithsonian Institution has been delayed due to Trump’s efforts to intervene at the organization, the New York Times reports.

CHICAGO — When I learned that an exhibition by Leah Ke Yi Zheng, curated by Myriam Ben Salah and Karsten Lund, would be coming to the Renaissance Society, I timed an engagement I had in Chicago so I could see her work. My only regret was that I did not have enough time to go twice, as I did with her New York debut exhibition at David Lewis Gallery in 2023, which I reviewed. I also realized that I am still learning how to see Zheng’s work, which is one of the great pleasures of looking at art. As much pleasure, intellectual stimulation, and self-reflection as I got from her work, and its engagement with Western oil painting and Eastern ink painting, I feel Zheng is at the beginning of something momentous...

Paris-based Lebanese filmmaker and artist Ali Cherri has formally accused the Israeli military of committing a war crime for a bombing that killed his parents inside their Beirut apartment in 2024.In the hours before a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel was set to take effect on November 26, 2024, Cherri’s parents, Mahmoud Naim Cherri and Nadira Hayek, were killed by an Israeli bomb that struck their 12-story residential building. The strike also killed the couple’s employee, Birki Negesa, and at least four others. Cherri, represented by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), filed a war crimes complaint against the attack’s perpetrators in France’s War Crimes Unit yesterday, April...

Florence’s famed Uffizi Galleries have revealed that they were the victim of a February cyberattack but have denied that the security systems protecting their collection were compromised.

The Human Rights Foundation has submitted a complaint to a United Nations body that reviews detention cases on behalf of Chinese dissident artist Gao Zhen, seeking a finding that his prolonged detention is arbitrary under international law. Gao, 69, was arrested in China in 2024 on “suspicion of slandering China’s heroes and martyrs,” a charge tied to his longstanding sculptural practice repurposing art historical icons to challenge official narratives and mythmaking. That year, more than 100 artworks were seized during a police raid on his studio in Sanhe City, China, including ones such as Miss Mao, Mao’s Guilt and The Execution of Christ, which critique the Chinese Communist Party’s...

Misato Sano’s studio is replete with piles of wooden offcuts, heavy lumber, woodworking equipment, and flowing natural light. The Miyagi-based artist has been sculpting charismatic dogs for several years, steadily adding more distinct characters to her growing pack. Self-portraiture remains a consistent theme within Sano’s practice. Each dog evokes a different emotion mirroring the artist’s personality, ranging from shy and skittish to excited and silly. “Visualizing my inner self through expressions and gestures full of charm and humor has also become an opportunity to deepen my self-love,” she shares. “I Got a Good Idea!” (2025) Sano’s distinctive woodcarving techniques are exemplary of the...

South Seas, a resort located on Captiva Island, off the coast of Florida, is the buyer of Robert Rauschenberg’s famed 22-acre property on the island, which had been home to one of the country’s top artist residency programs following his death. The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the steward of the namesake artist’s legacy, had announced last year that it would sell the property, which also includes about 1,000 feet of beachfront property and Rauschenberg’s 8,000-square-foot studio which he built in 1992. The foundation said the cost to maintain the property had grown beyond what it could manage while still maintaining the other parts of its mission, citing a sustainability assessment that “confirmed...

FORT COLLINS, COLORADO—People living in western North America more than 12,000 years ago played games of chance, according to a Live Science report. Robert Madden of Colorado State University identified and examined more than 600 sets of dice, or binary lots, recovered from 45 different archaeological sites in the western United States, on both sides of the Rocky Mountains. The artifacts date from 13,000 to 450 years ago. The objects can be either curved or flat, and are marked on one side while the other side is blank. Tossing a binary lot is similar to flipping a coin, Madden explained. “This is the first evidence we have of structured human engagement with the concepts of chance and randomness,” he...

The airstrike killed seven people in a residential building in central Beirut that independent researchers have found to have no clear military function

BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY—According to a Phys.org report, a team of researchers led by Jean-Luc Houle of Western Kentucky University explored two Late Bronze Age mounds in Mongolia known as khirigsuurs for evidence of feasting. Khirigsuurs, found in Mongolia and parts of southern Siberia, usually contain human burials and are surrounded by deposits of horse skulls. These are sometimes accompanied by horse neck vertebrae and hooves, and the burned bones of sheep or goats. Houle and his colleagues looked for the rest of these horses and evidence of butchering at khirigsuur ZK-956, which has been dated to between 1054 and 906 B.C. A well-preserved winter settlement has been found near this mound. The second mound...

A crewmember's shoe recovered from the Dannebroge wreck COPENHAGEN, DENMARK—The Guardian reports that debris from the Danish flagship Dannebroge has been discovered at the bottom of Copenhagen Harbor. The 157-foot warship was commanded by Commodore Olfert Fischer and sunk by Admiral Horatio Nelson during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. Denmark’s navy had formed a blockade outside the harbor when Britain’s navy attacked. Cannonballs hit the Dannebroge’s upper deck before shelling set the vessel on fire and it eventually exploded. Morten Johansen of Denmark’s Viking Ship Museum and his colleagues have recovered two cannons, uniforms, insignia, shoes, bottles, and a human jaw from the bottom of the...

One of the many reasons artists like Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Cy Twombly, and other mid-20th-century pioneers of painterly abstraction were so innovative for their time is the use of the deliberate yet loose brushstroke. Pollock intuitively dribbled and splattered paint on surfaces spread across the floor of his studio, and Kline created bold, monochromatic paintings with just a few deceptively simple, gestural strokes of a large brush. It’s this visceral approach to visual rhythms and color that continues to awe us today. (A major retrospective highlighting both Krasner and Pollock’s work is slated for The Met later this year.) For artist Liza Lou, the calculation of brushstrokes, color,...

The surprise of turning onto a street to see a vibrant mural—or the joy of viewing several in progress during popular festivals like Nuart Aberdeen—is essentially an ephemeral experience. Murals may be designed to last several decades, or they may be temporary installations that address a particularly interesting bit of local history or urgent social issue, but either way, the experience is brief as we walk by. Always vulnerable to the elements and new development, these pieces don’t always last long. That’s where Art UK’s archive comes in. As a digital platform, Art UK connects viewers to public collections around the nation. There are about a million artworks on the site, drawn from around 3,500...

Ci sono mostre che provano a spiegarti il mondo, e poi ci sono mostre che ti costringono a dubitare del fatto che quel mondo sia mai stato stabile. “Manipolazione di origine controllato” di Roberto Amoroso appartiene con decisione alla seconda categoria.

Living in a high-rise apartment or a house with a small yard comes with the disadvantage of not having access to garden space. Fortunately, fine wallpaper manufacturer Astek has a way to bring beautiful blooms indoors. The company’s collection of dreamy floral mural designs called Eterna Nouveau reinterprets the Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th century, which historically flourished in Europe and emphasized nature-inspired motifs like flowers and birds. Eterna Nouveau’s arching, sinuous stems and leaves nod to its namesake style’s characteristic “whiplash” lines. “Aquavita,” for example, features lilies and other water plants and illustrates life both above and below the surface. And...

Private Tupper's record of burial in the 'Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations, 1768-1921' reads: 'Buried inside the Fort / Tupper, Geo. N. / 1 U.S. Arty [1 st U.S. Artillery] / Oct 6, 1873' MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA—MLive reports that more information has been found about a burial site inside Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park. The grave belonged to Private George Tupper, who died of yellow fever on October 6, 1873. Historical records indicate that Tupper had been buried in a lime pit within the fort, but his body was later exhumed and likely reinterred at Fort Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida. “Locating Private Tupper’s original grave allows us to honor him...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND—Archaeologists led by Anne Mayor Anne Mayor of the University of Geneva uncovered an iron smelting workshop at the site of Didé West 1 in eastern Senegal, according to a SciNews report. The workshop was used for some 800 years, between the fourth century B.C. and the fourth century A.D. “The iron-smelting workshop at the Didé West 1 site in Senegal sheds new light on the emergence of iron metallurgy in West Africa,” said Mélissa Morel of the University of Geneva. The team discovered about 100 tons of slag; 30 tuyeres, or clay pipes used to channel air into a furnace, that had been arranged in a semicircle; and 35 small, circular furnace bases. These furnaces were likely used to...

Through atmospheric, black-and-white photographs, Yamamoto Masao explores the emotional connections between image and memory. His intimate, otherworldly gelatin silver prints evoke dreamlike archival footage that has been somehow unyoked from the normal rhythms of time. His subjects vary, although he often focuses on landscapes and natural subjects, including a number of owls that roost in trees near his home in Japan. Ten Owls at Yancey Richardson marks the artist’s seventh solo exhibition with the gallery, showcasing intimate portraits of the nocturnal birds. No larger than 10 inches on the longest side, these images are intended to be viewed up close in a way that brings these elusive creatures much...

 
FEELING SEEN is guest curated by Jenna Eady as part of our Curate for the Community series.
Our sense of feeling goes beyond the physical – it’s emotional, atmospheric, and relational. It’s through these feelings that we connect with one another on a deeper level.
FEELING SEEN is about exploring how photography can express both internal and external sensations – whether it’s the rush of anticipation, the dis/comfort of the body, nostalgia of memory or tension of conflict. This project believes in photography’s power to evoke real emotional resonance. Its about creating the space for others to feel something.
The project aims to amplify diverse voices and create opportunities for new perspectives...

In occasione della sua prima mostra personale in Italia Matthias Odin presenta da FRENCH PLACE un nuovo corpus di lavori, frutto della residenza a Milano e nati dalla scoperta di una fabbrica di strumenti bellici dismessa dalla fine degli anni Ottanta, momento in cui i conflitti su scala mondiale sembravano destinati a una definitiva distensione. La nuova collocazione degli oggetti ne sospende la finalità originaria, trasformandoli in sculture minime in bilico tra astrazione e memoria. Nella concezione di Odin l’archeologia industriale dialoga con la storia della città e con la concezione bergsoniana della memoria, intesa come stratificazione.
