Fold, lift, remove: George & Willy’s modular compact café table
 
George & Willy’s Wall Mounted Café Table + Removable Table Bracket responds to the increasing spatial constraints of contemporary hospitality environments, where furniture is required to provide flexibility without permanent spatial occupation. The system is designed to enable seating only when required, with the option to fully clear wall-mounted tables when not in use.
 
The table consists of a precision-engineered aluminum structure fixed directly to the wall, allowing floor space to remain unobstructed. A reversible mounting pole enables two installation heights: a higher configuration for use with benches or raised seating surfaces,...

Alien Terrain in Trondheim, Norway
 
At PoMo, the museum for contemporary and modern art in Trondheim, Norway, the solo show for Ken Price, Alien Terrain (2026), fills its halls with the late American artist’s experimental ceramic sculptures. The space’s interior is almost completely white—it aesthetically unifies the ornate Ionic columns, the exhibition plinths and the arched windows. When Price’s works, globules of ceramic that bulge and stack in a fantastic mix of colors, are arranged within the space, they evoke an otherworldly quality that encapsulates the particular methodology he brought to the medium.

Akira Ikezoe welcomes me into his studio wearing a long-sleeve t-shirt made by the Cevallos Brothers, with whom he was recently featured in the Greater New York survey at MoMA PS1. That is just one of several large-scale exhibitions and international biennials Ikezoe has participated in over the last few years, including the Sharjah Biennial last year and this year’s Whitney Biennial. As a result, his studio is sparse, save for a few paintings in progress.Ikezoe offers me tea as we recall meeting in 2023 at the Rehearsal Art Book Fair, co-organized by Bungee Space and Accent Sisters. There, Ikezoe introduced me to his Baby Recipes series (2022), in which babies’ body parts become ingredients in...

At age 19, Charles Seliger received his first solo show at Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery The Art of This Century in 1945, and was one of the youngest artists associated with the emergence of Abstract Expressionism. However, unlike most painters in this nascent movement, he never worked on a large scale, nor did he become a gestural or geometric painter. Devoted to nature and Surrealist automatism, he remained a maverick. That independence explains why he is seldom included in surveys of Abstract Expressionism, especially if they focus on stylistic similarities.In 2010, the year after Seliger died, his then-dealer Michael Rosenfeld presented Charles Seliger: A Memorial Exhibition. Since then, his work has...

Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, "I See Red: Going Forward, Looking Back" (1996) (© Estate of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, courtesy the estate and Garth Greenan Gallery)In the aftermath of the Newark Rebellion of 1967, which saw six days of police brutality at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, nontraditional arts spaces began to crop up around the city. Just over a decade after the 1972 opening of Newark's first Black-owned gallery, Aard Studio Gallery, and on the heels of the Blacks Art Movement, Guyanese artists Victor Davson and Carl E. Hazlewood founded their own nonprofit exhibition space, Aljira, in 1983. Taking its name from the Australian Aboriginal word for “dreamtime,” Aljira championed the...

la source vive rises above lake geneva
 
On the wooded heights above Lake Geneva in Évian, France, La Source Vive appears between the trees with a rounded copper skin, half-hidden by the slope and the older timber silhouette of La Grange au Lac nearby. The new music hall brings another presence to Les Mélèzes, the musical ensemble formed by the two venues.
 
Initiated by Aline Foriel-Destezet, the project brings together Patrick Bouchain and Philippe Chiambaretta, with PCA-STREAM leading the architectural development. Its position beside La Grange au Lac is central to the story.
 
The earlier hall, built by Bouchain in 1993 for the Rencontres Musicales d’Évian, is known for its timber structure,...

INTERVIEW WITH ALBERTO CAVALLI ahead of homo faber 2026
 
Following a widely acclaimed 2024 edition, which saw Italian director Luca Guadagnino transform the San Giorgio Maggiore island into a poetic Journey of Life, the Homo Faber Biennial returns to Venice for its fourth edition this September. Organized by the Geneva-based Michelangelo Foundation, the cultural showcase at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini invites audiences in an international celebration of craftsmanship, where hundreds of master artisans and rising stars from around the world come together to demonstrate the skill, talent and creativity that goes into crafting objects by hand.

This holiday weekend is a strange one. As heat waves wash over much of the United States, so do mixed feelings toward the nation’s 250th birthday today, punctuated by rays of hope — like the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship this week. Here at Hyperallergic, we’ve been embracing moments of possibility and discovery. John Yau’s review of a group of little-known works by Phillip Guston — influenced in part by his wife, poet Musa McKim, and their larger poetry community — is an example of art history’s ever-yielding worlds. This spirit also resonates in Aruna D’Souza’s feature, examining artists who have upended and subverted the meaning of Lady Liberty. One work she...

Tickets to see the Bayeux Tapestry when it goes on view at the British Museum this fall sold out in just over 24 hours this week, reports the Telegraph. The museum said it was the biggest day of ticket sales in its history. Depicting the Norman conquest of England 1066 and made there in the 1070s, the Bayeux Tapestry (technically an embroidery) is an astonishing 230 feet long and, according to the British Museum, features 58 detailed scenes, each rendered in colored wool on flax. On loan from the Bayeux Museum in Normandy, it will be displayed at the British Museum from September 10, 2026, to July 11, 2027, the first time in its nearly 1000-year history the work has been publicly exhibited on British soil....

A show about big installation art in the age of the huckster-in-chief

L’apparente, seconda personale di Alessandro Roma (Milano, 1977) alla CAR Gallery di Bologna, si configura come un momento di approfondimento di una ricerca che ha trovato nella ceramica smaltata il terreno privilegiato in cui la dialettica tra pittura e scultura smette di essere una questione formale per diventare una domanda filosofica sull’essenza stessa del visibile. Il titolo sembra suggerire che ciò che appare non sia mai semplicemente dato, ma costituisca piuttosto una soglia in perpetuo divenire, uno strato di realtà che si offre alla percezione trattenendo al tempo stesso qualcosa di irriducibile allo sguardo, un’intuizione che le opere in mostra declinano con una coerenza tanto più efficace...

The National Gallery in London announced that it has acquired a significant history painting by 18th-century artist Angelica Kauffman. The work is now on view at the museum.  Achilles discovered among the Daughters of Lycomedes (1787–88) is the first work by Kauffman to enter a UK national collection in nearly two centuries. Another painting by the artist was bequeathed to the National Gallery in 1835 but was later transferred to Tate Britain, as the museum is now known, when it opened in 1897. Tate Britain lent the work to Guildhall in Plymouth, and it is believed to have been destroyed during World War II in the 1941 Plymouth Blitz. Achilles discovered among the Daughters of Lycomedes depicts a Greek...

The discovery of lead during renovation work at Paris’s historic Palais Garnier—opened in 1875 and summoned as inspiration for Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera (and even more famously for Andrew Lloyd Weber’s musical adaptation)—has “throw[n] a tight schedule of venue closures and the projected budget into disarray,” according to a report in Le Figaro. Planned restoration work that was supposed to take two years is now projected for five, with evaluation for the best method to extract the lead to be undertaken this summer. “Depending on the method chosen, the duration of the Palais Garnier stage’s closure will be determined this fall,” Le Figaro reports. “Barring any...

Memory may not be a tape-recorder, but in Sasha Gordon’s work, it serves as a device for the initial transportation. Characters wander this fluxing landscape—be it a drive-through window, a master bedroom, or white suburbia—shifting through the dynamic background of her dream-like haze. As a viewer of Gordon’s narrative paintings, you are intruding on intimate […]

An artist has demanded the organizers of Manifesta 16 remove an installation from the exhibition in Essen, Germany, alleging that a piece in the show plagiarizes one of her earlier works.  The piece, titled Elevation and made by the Turkish sculptor Nasan Tur, consists of reclaimed church pews installed on their side inside St. Gertud Church and engraved with anonymous musings submitted by the public. Bochum-based artist Dorothee Bielfeld told the German outlet Waz that the Elevation’s central visual motif—meter-high upright pews, transformed by their reorientation into oblique towers—closely resembles her 2010 work Aufrichten (Raising Up), created for Ruhr.2010, a cultural campaign in Germany’s Ruhr...

A word to the wise: no matter how frazzled you are while preparing to leave town for a family vacation, make sure you don’t forget anything on the sidewalk when you drive away. Especially if you are the type of family that takes valuable, framed artwork on road trips. Andrés Hurtado, a 57-year-old man from Murcia, was visiting Seville with his family when an artwork leaning against a garage door caught his eye while on a walk around the city center. He picked it up, particularly taken by the wide gold frame. Unbeknownst to Hurtado, the painting belonged to a local family and had been reported missing on Saturday, June 27. The owners, accustomed to taking a beloved artwork with them on vacation, had...

Face cream ad (left), face cream jar (center), and corset stays (right) BAKER CITY, OREGON—Jefferson Public Radio reports that researchers including Katie Johnson of the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology investigated the site of the Baker White Pine Lumber Company, which was established in northeastern Oregon in 1910. When the mill closed less than 10 years later, much of the infrastructure was removed from the site. The workforce had been made up entirely of men when the mill opened, but management soon switched to a company town model made up of workers and their families. The more than 8,000 recovered artifacts—including washboard fragments, enamelware basins, shoe polish bottles,...

Gold earrings PHETCHABURI, THAILAND—The Bangkok Post reports that a ninth set of human remains has been unearthed at Don Yai Thong, a burial site in central Thailand dated to between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago. Earlier this year, archaeologists uncovered eight skeletons with bronze vessels placed over the heads and chins of the deceased; glass and stone beads; and gold earrings and bracelets. Bronze vessels were found near the feet of the dead. Six bronze drums have also been uncovered at the site. Phnombootra Chandrajoti of the Fine Arts Department said that the newly found remains belong to a child under the age of 12 at the time of death. The teeth and jaw of either a cow or a buffalo were found near the...

Nameplate from the tomb of Grand Duke Francesco de Medici NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT—According to a statement released by Yale University, researchers from Yale University and the University of Pisa identified an unknown strain of Plasmodium falciparum in the bones of Cardinal Giovanni de Medici, who died of malaria in 1562. His brother, Grand Duke Francesco de Medici, died of the same disease in 1587. Traces of P. falciparum and P. malariae were detected in his bones. “At the time, both were diagnosed with symptoms, such as intermittent fevers, consistent with malaria,” said Valentina Giuffra of the University of Pisa. “This genetic analysis confirms the historical accounts as well as prior research."

The last few mornings, as I’ve walked with my dog up the ravine behind my house, two fawns seem to bound of thin air, racing in unison through the trees until far enough way that they stop, stare, and wait for us to pass. It’s not uncommon to see several does grazing in the same woods, and I’ve always wondered where they sleep. Photographer Katherine Wolkoff followed a similar curiosity as she traversed the grassy meadows of Block Island, which sits a few miles off the coast of Rhode Island, for her series Deer Beds. Flattened by lean cervid bodies, tall grasses reveal the areas where deer bed down. They don’t typically sleep in the same place every single night, but a home range area may have several...

ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA—Stone quarrying at Sugarloaf Hill in southeastern Australia’s Riverland dates back some 7,000 years, according to a statement released by Flinders University. Researchers from Flinders University and the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation said that chert and silcrete were extracted from the quarry to make tools and weapons that were likely redistributed beyond the Riverland. “The key outcome from our research has been establishing a plausible timeline for the mining of these materials at Sugarloaf Hill,” said Craig Westell of Flinders University. This timeline will help researchers to understand Aboriginal networks in the southwestern region of the Murray-Darling...

Mummified remains of female dog from Rio Muerto, Peru GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA—Phys.org reports that Susan deFrance of the University of Florida and her colleagues analyzed the remains of two dogs whose burials were excavated in southern Peru's Moquegua Valley. The remains of the dogs, buried some 1,100 years ago by people of the Tiwanaku culture, were naturally mummified. The first dog, a female with brown and white fur, was less than one year old at the time of death. She had been placed on a woven mat, perhaps wrapped in twine, and buried in a small pit at the village site of Rio Muerto. The second dog was a puppy no more than three months old at the time of death that had been buried in Omo, a ceremonial...

Whether it’s the atmosphere casting a haze or the fuzziness of memories and dreams, Guimi You’s lush paintings have an aura of wistfulness and quietude. The Seoul-based artist creates dreamy oil compositions that tap into personal experience, passing time, and how one gains perspective and reevaluates their needs or desires as they go through life. You’s canvases are infused with elements of still life and landscape traditions, where anonymous protagonists reflect quietly in a garden, pause in a golden meadow, or stroll through a park in the rain. Cerulean shadows complement the magenta jacket of a woman strolling with her dog along a stream in “Spring Walk,” and a woman sits down at an easel in an...

Stand in any forest and look up, and it’s hard not to be mesmerized by the swaying of tall trees and their elegant canopies casting shade onto the woodland floor. But imagine being an ant or beetle and peering up at the stems of wild geraniums, garlic, or buttercups and experiencing the same sensation. For photographer Theo Bosboom, this ground-level view of flowers and plants gave rise to a series that captures them in the way we might photograph a grove of towering, ancient sequoias. Traversing local landscapes around his home in the Netherlands and sometimes venturing across the border into Germany or Belgium, Bosboom explores forests, dunes, public parks, roadside verges, and virtually any place that...

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...

Un corpo cammina. Attraversa quindici paesi, consuma le suole, accumula polvere e incontri. Quando questo corpo entra in un’istituzione, come Punta della Dogana, Pinault Collection, emblema del meccanismo dell’arte internazionale, qualcosa nel sistema si inceppa. Algebra è costruita su questo inceppamento. Il corpus di Paulo Nazareth non disgiunge esperienza e produzione: il cammino è già opera, l’incontro è già forma. Migrazione, diaspora, confine e memoria non sono temi da rappresentare, sono i presupposti operativi entro cui l’indagine emerge. Ogni immagine, oggetto o documento nasce da un sentiero e conserva la tensione tra vissuto e diffusione.
