On a damp New York City morning last week, I visited Gracie Mansion for an exclusive interview with artist and First Lady Rama Duwaji in her studio. We talked about her art practice and political life while surrounded by her drawings and ceramics. I hope you enjoy reading this interview, through which I learned more about Duwaji's life story and got a better sense of who she is as a person and an artist.Also in New York: Who's behind the guerrilla posters across the city calling for a boycott of the Jeff Bezos-sponsored Met Gala?—Hakim Bishara, editor-in-chief Artist Rama Duwaji in her studio in New York (photo Dahlia Dandashi)In the Studio With Rama DuwajiSurrounded by her drawings and ceramics,...

soft tones and raw materials outline Drinkit Café’s pink interiors
 
Drinkit flagship café in Yekaterinburg, Russia, explores the relationship between the city’s industrial legacy and its evolving creative culture. The project, designed by the brand’s own team, combines references to reinforced concrete construction with a palette derived from confectionery tones, establishing a contrast between material heaviness and visual softness.
 
The design approach is based on interpreting local identity through color, texture, and spatial composition. The interior incorporates shades such as muted pistachio and pink alongside raw, industrial elements. Materials include glass blocks, upcycled plastic...

A Wearable Interface Translates Gesture into Emotional Data
 
MELO Bubble Ring, designed by New York-based product designer Shuting Jiang, explores the relationship between everyday gestures, wearable technology, and emotional awareness. The project addresses stress as a largely unrecorded condition, translating unconscious tactile behaviors into measurable data. The design builds on the observation that repetitive gestures, such as pressing, rotating, or fidgeting, often occur during moments of stress or concentration. These actions are typically overlooked, yet they reflect underlying emotional states. MELO reframes these behaviors as an input system, capturing interaction without requiring deliberate user...

LACMA opens long-awaited building, designed by Peter Zumthor
 
Peter Zumthor’s David Geffen Galleries at LACMA open to the public on April 19th, 2026, completing a two-decade transformation of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art into its most expansive institutional form yet. The new building, a 275-meter-long, curved glass-and-concrete structure that stretches along Hancock Park and crosses Wilshire Boulevard, houses the permanent collection of the museum across 10,220 square meters of gallery space elevated nearly 9 meters above street level.
 
The raised exhibition floor rests on seven ground-level pavilions accommodating education, retail, dining, and a theater, while the spaces between them open into...

Tile of Spain presents ‘Spanish Design as a Souvenir’ at Fuorisalone
 
How does an architectural installation express the identity of a region? How can a building material connect with the essence of a nation? Throughout its history, Spain has been shaped by a wide range of cultures and civilizations, including Muslim, Phoenician, Roman, Greek, Carthaginian, and Visigothic influences. From flamenco to ceramic tiles adorning façades and historic monuments, each region of Spain embraces its own customs and traditions, reflected in its architecture, history, art, and design. During Milan Design Week 2026, Tile of Spain presents Spanish Design as a Souvenir at the Fuorisalone—an installation that...

In the forest nothing stands still. Time layered through thoughts and feelings, leaves kicked and crunched as we walk. The trees talk to each other, sending mycelium messages, carbon gifts, and warnings of drought or illness. From ancient wisdom to popular culture, it’s all here.
If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound? Of course it did. And if Jo Stapleton was there to capture the moment, there would be a visual symphony of light, shape and form to follow.
Published by Shutter Hub Editions, this beautiful collection of 100 images by Jo Stapleton is an expressionist photographic account of her interactions with trees, forest and woodland, later remembered and...

Lightweight Roof Shields Pavilion’s Layered Volumes
 
Shared Space by 4site Architects is a large-span pavilion located within a six-acre landscape at Prashanthi Kutir near Belagavi, Karnataka, India. Conceived as a climate-responsive structure, the project redefines hospitality architecture through flexible, open-ended spatial programming rather than fixed-use environments.
 
The pavilion operates as a continuous inhabitable layer that supports a range of activities, including retreat gatherings, wellness workshops, community dining, and cultural events. A lightweight roof structure spans across brick plinths, creating shaded conditions while maintaining visual openness toward the surrounding landscape....

A fifty-eight-year-old Paris man on April 14 won a painting by Pablo Picasso valued at more than €1 million (about $1.2 million) in a raffle. Ari Hodara, a software engineer, is now the owner of the Spanish master’s 1941 Head of a Woman, depicting Picasso’s longtime muse and lover Dora Maar, a celebrated photographer and Surrealist in […]

On Tuesday afternoon, police were called when an activist super-glued herself to a display cabinet at the Bode Museum on Berlin’s Museum Island. The news was reported by the German magazine Monopol. The action was claimed by New Generation, a successor movement to Last Generation, a German/Italian group of climate activists best known for gluing themselves to roadways. Last Generation disbanded in January 2025. The woman, dressed like Germany’s Economic Affairs Minister, Katherina Reiche, and wearing a mask of the minister’s face, glued herself to a glass case containing coins and held up a sign reading “Katherina Super-Reiche.” “I’m Katherina Super-Rich and I stick to money!” New...

Art Dubai has released the exhibitor list for its 2026 “special edition,” a scaled-back fair that will run May 15–17 at Madinat Jumeirah, with a VIP preview on May 14, bringing together roughly 75 presentations across galleries, institutions, and partners.  The revised format, announced amid ongoing regional instability and rising costs across the fair circuit, places a tighter focus on galleries with longstanding ties to the region: roughly 60 percent of participants in this edition hail from the Gulf and Southwest Asia, alongside a smaller contingent of international players. The exhibitor list reflects that balance. Regional mainstays such as The Third Line, Lawrie Shabibi, Carbon 12, Ayyam Gallery,...

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London removed material from at least two recent exhibition catalogs at the request of a Chinese printing company, according to documents obtained by The Guardian through freedom of information requests. The report found that certain maps and images were flagged as violating China’s censorship laws. Partnering with foreign printing companies isn’t unusual among major arts institutions; both the British Museum and Tate do so, as the report notes. In the V&A’s case, however, the episode has underscored the controversy inherent in outsourcing production: by choosing a Chinese printer over more expensive British or European options, the museum subjected its publications to...

Artsy and Artnet are being brought under the same leadership, consolidating two of the art world’s largest online platforms across data, media, auctions, and e-commerce. The companies said Wednesday that they will continue to operate as separate brands, even as they combine their underlying infrastructure and data. The move follows Beowolff Capital’s acquisition of a controlling stake in Artsy and its decision last year to take Artnet private, bringing both businesses under the same umbrella. Jeffrey Yin, who has led Artsy since 2024, will serve as chief executive of the combined company, with Beowolff founder Andrew Wolff as chairman.  The tie-up comes amid a broader wave of consolidation across the...

The Massachusetts liberal arts college Hampshire College announced this week that, after nearly six decades in operation since being founded in 1965, it will shut its doors for good; the institution’s board cited “financial pressures…compounded by shifting external factors” as being among the reasons for closure.  “We have long known that addressing these issues is essential to establishing […]

The real estate firm Cushman and Wakefield has accused Sotheby’s of failing to pay a $10.2 million commission on sale of its former New York headquarters, Artnet reports. Last week, Cushman and Wakefield filed a lawsuit against Sotheby’s alleging that the auction house breached a commission agreement attached to the sale of 1334 York Avenue to Weill Cornell Medicine, a transaction […]

In a world not so unlike our own, during a time not that long ago, a mother wolf sits comfortably upon an abandoned tree stump in a clearing in the woods. Surrounded by carefully rendered flora and fauna, the creature is positioned upright with impeccable posture and human-like mannerisms. Her hind legs are crossed at […]

Devon Booker, a five-time All Star guard for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, has visited James Turrell’s fabled Roden Crater three times—and even struck up something of a friendship with an artist who called him an “amazing person … taking it to another level, and that’s what all artists try to do.” As reported in a lengthy profile in The Athletic, the sports section of the New York Times, Booker first traveled to Roden Crater in 2020, when he was introduced to an artwork in a dormant volcano that Turrell has been toiling away at for more than 50 years. Booker has also been talking about an imminent visit with fellow NBA star Steph Curry (“who recently purchased a piece by Turrell”), and even...

Artists Christian Rebecchi and Pablo Togni, who work as NEVERCREW, have a knack for bringing the immensity of nature to developed urban spaces. Their colorful, large-scale murals take a playful tack when it comes to portraying animals, often merging them with other objects such as instant photos or, most recently, a plastic punch-out toy. “Souvenir,” completed this year in Vienna, combines motifs of a large bear with other Arctic components, such as icebergs, a seabird, and a steamship. “The natural environment appears transformed, filtered, made artificial: it is no longer a space experienced through relationship, but a distant construction,” the artists say in a statement. The work is “almost a...

A joint letter, published by the Society for Iranian Archaeology, condemns the “irreversible damage” to cultural sites caused by US-Israeli missile strikes

My first encounter with Rama Duwaji's art was while waiting in line for the restroom at the Levantine bistro Huda in East Williamsburg back in 2024. It took me a second to realize that I was looking at an NYC-mandated first-aid poster, transformed into a stunning artwork in what I can now recognize as Duwaji's signature style.The Texas-born, Syrian-American artist has created illustrations and animations for the New Yorker, Tate Modern, and BBC, among other outlets and institutions. Last November, Duwaji became a household name after her husband, Zohran Mamdani, swept the New York City mayoral race in a historic victory that inspired and delighted millions. A private person by nature, she was...

Where the blue sky breaks through the tree canopy or light reflects onto the surface of a pond, illustrator Masha Foya summons moments of joy and surprise. The Kyiv-based artist’s dreamlike illustrations often portray spaces and individuals in emotional or experiential states, as if the entire environment morphs into a single living being. Hands clasp over the arc of a foliage tunnel, for example, and a plane sails through an aperture shaped like a bird in flight. Seemingly enclosed spaces often converge with the sky or the cosmos, alluding to the boundlessness of imagination and feeling. The work shown here comprises both personal and commissioned projects. Foya is currently working on developing a number...

The Met Gala is coming in less than three weeks, and while the annual event has always drawn some form of protest or criticism for its theme, attendees, and context in the grand scheme of things, this year already feels a little on the nose. In posters wheatpasted across New York City, activists are calling for a boycott of the 2026 event, whose lead sponsors, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, have also been appointed honorary co-chairs. The posters take aim at Amazon's alleged exploitation of warehouse and delivery labor, as well as the company's links to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through its cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

La Belle Êpqoue – French for Beautiful Era – conjures up images of glittering theatres, excessive parties and flowing champagne. The term defines the years before WWI, when France experienced a period of economic growth that produced a wealth of artistic and cultural developments. In 1913, Galeries Lafayette unveiled its flagship department store, whilst architect Auguste Perret completed the Theatre des Champs-Elysees. The country was the world’s biggest exporter of cars, as well as leading the way in the skies, with Bleriot crossing the channel in 1908. Names like Gaumont and Pathe drove the flourishing cinematic industry forwards, whilst Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque captured this rapid...

Francesca Woodman’s (1958–1981) photographic career spanned less than a decade. Yet, during that time, she created some of the best-known self-portraits of the 20th century. The majority of Woodman’s scenes unfold within empty interior spaces, illuminated by shafts of natural light or mirrored surfaces. The artist is usually the sole subject; sometimes she appears nude, other times clothed or shrouded. She might be partially hidden by furniture, appear to be suspended in a doorframe, or lie on the ground. “Haunting” is one of the words most-used to describe her images: they are often blurred, employing long exposure techniques and a black-and-white palette. Woodman operated on both sides of the...

It’s our pleasure to introduce the winner of the Colour category, Chanyoung Chung. Born in South Korea and raised in Montréal, Chung came to photography after seven years working as a nurse in Vancouver. Now back in Montréal, he creates still-life images in the studio while also photographing traces of contemporary life beyond it. His work invites reflection on peace, cooperation, and the quiet harmony that can emerge within society.
Our sincere thanks to...

For millennia, humans have navigated seas, rivers, and oceans as avenues for trade, exploration, conquest, and colonization. During the Age of Discovery—an era interwoven with what’s known as the Age of Sail—European explorers and traders embarked on journeys around the world to map previously uncharted continents, trade commodities, and establish new socio-political outposts. Imperial forces competed with one another to control as much as they could, all in the name of wealth and power, and individual landowners and traders profited immensely. But sustaining a presence in far-flung places would never have been remotely possible, nevertheless successful, without slavery. Well into the 19th century,...

In the mid-20th century, before preservation efforts revived Miami’s Art Deco South Beach neighborhood with bright colors and lavish hotels, the area was a whitewashed holiday haven for retirees. And in a third-floor room of the Colony Hotel, which looked out onto the building’s marquee and the street below, a unique artistic endeavor unfolded. Ukrainian artist Jonko “George” Voronovsky (1903-1982) transformed his humble, long-term residence into a vibrant environment of paintings and objects that he described as “memoryscapes.” Having endured incredible hardship amid the political maneuvers of the U.S.S.R. and the Nazis during the 1930s and 1940s, he chose to work in a bright, optimistic style...

Fanglin Luo is a London-based emerging artist and curator whose interdisciplinary practice moves between performance, painting and photography.

In 2025, she presented at the London Design Festival and won the Silver Award at the Light From The Other Shore: 2025 New York International Art Competition. One of Luo’s earlier works is video piece ME & GODDNESS & ME, inspired by the artist’s experience walking alone at night in...

Amid groves of trees, meadows, and aging infrastructure, Cinga Samson’s dreamlike tableaux are bathed in eerie light, as if spotlit or illuminated by the moon. The South African artist is known for his use of deep, dark pigments such as carbon black and Prussian blue, complemented by the occasional teal or purple and pops of bright white in t-shirts or sneakers. His figures, engaged in enigmatic activities, look on with spectral, all-white eyes. Green and brown foliage camouflages individuals who gather in fields, sort through mysterious items, and appear to converge with other beings like large birds. The work seen here is currently on view in the artist’s solo exhibition at White Cube called...

In 1912, André Breton published his Surrealist Manifesto. The work described Surrealism as “pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.” It was a statement that came to define a moment that, one hundred years later, continues to play a defining role in contemporary art. To consider Surrealism is to conjure up names like Breton, Salvador Salí or René Magritte, but many female artists pushed the artform forward in ways that have long been overlooked. VISU Contemporary, in Miami...

David Bowie (1947-2016) is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. This spring, a major new immersive experience dedicated to him is opening at London’s Lightroom, in close collaboration with the Bowie Estate. The 360° show – titled You’re Not Alone – promises to transport visitors inside the artist’s “iconic performances and creative mind”. From Space Oddity through Diamond Dogs, Heroes and ★, You’re Not Alone offers audiences the opportunity “to feel they have travelled through time to experience Bowie up close and first-hand.” But this is not about perpetuating the myths or characters often associated with Bowie, like Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack,...

By Kristine Schomaker The work hits immediately. Not one piece — all of it, simultaneously. Large sculptural assemblages covering the walls, a freestanding sculpture in the middle of the room, a piece suspended from the ceiling. The whole gallery feeling like its own solar system, each work a satellite orbiting something enormous and unspoken. Last night, four humans splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after flying around the Moon for the first time in more than fifty years. Artemis II...

San Juan Capistrano Library #1 Amir Zaki No Dust to Settle Diane Rosenstein Gallery April 4 - May 9, 2026 by Jody Zellen The saying "waiting for the dust to settle" might refer to when things will calm down and return to normal. It could be said that "the dust never settles" and there is no state of definitive calmness because everything is in flux, both in life and in art. This might be taking the personal into account by reading too much into the title of Amir Zaki's current exhibition, his...

 
There’s just two weeks left to submit your work for The City Series: Cambridge!
An ongoing series of publications, The City Series sets out to explore the people, places, and cultures that shape cities around the world, showcasing images that respond to a place not as a fixed subject, but as an idea shaped by experience, observation, and interpretation.
The inaugural volume explores a city that has welcomed us, and been home to nearly a dozen Shutter Hub exhibitions – Cambridge.
Rather than defining Cambridge by landmarks or narratives, we invite photographers to approach the city openly, perhaps through people, atmosphere, details, routines, abstractions, or moments that feel personal or unexpected....

When Frode Bolhuis got his start as a sculptor, he worked classically, with monumental figures made of bronze and metal—the kind of thing you see in a public square or park.

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...

We are pleased to announce that DO YOU LIKE LOVE? is now available to order!
Do you like love? The question came from a conversation, recalled by a friend. Her elderly neighbour used to cry for ‘elp!’ and Jane’s husband Pip would rush to her aide. Sometimes she’d fallen, but rarely; although she was blind she had lived in that house for 60 years, she knew every inch of it. A house filled with memories of her husband, their life together, and her aloneness after his death. On this one day that she called out, she was found sitting with the television on, a black and white film playing out a romantic scene from the 1950s.
‘Do you like love, Pippy?’ she said, ‘I like love.’
Quiet gestures,...

Studio Loan wants to connect LA artists with the space they need — for free By Kristine Schomaker 60% of artists in Los Angeles don't have a studio outside their home. Or one at all. I think about that number a lot. Because space — or the lack of it — shapes everything. What you can make. How you can show it. Whether you can even invite someone in to see the work. Studio visits matter. Not in some abstract networking way, but in the real, tangible way where someone comes to your space, stands...
