BURO ZEMLA Composes Landscape of Future Memories installation
Conceived by landscape architecture and design practice Buro Zemla, Landscape of Future Memories is a site-specific installation presented within the A-House gallery space as part of the exhibition Architecture 1.0. The project examines the relationship between physical topography, spatial perception, and memory retention, framing architecture as a medium that shapes emotional and mental cartographies beyond physical permanence.

FUJIFILM QUICKSNAP REBUILT AT LIFE SIZE
Not every disposable object disappears after use. Some return as small monuments to the era that produced them. The Fujifilm QuickSnap, introduced in 1986, has found an unlikely second life in a LEGO Ideas proposal by fan builder MarshallThrilledLobster. Rather than inventing another camera-inspired toy, the project reconstructs the Japanese Simple Ace version at 1:1 scale, preserving the familiar green body, red and white stripes, and rounded black lens. The result looks ready for a holiday, provided nobody expects actual photographs.
The model is carefully proportioned to match the handheld original, with its outer surfaces smoothed by tiles that conceal most...

Mona Chalabi painting (photo Poupay Jutharat, all images courtesy Mona Chalabi) “As an adult and as a journalist, I have stared shamelessly.” That refusal to look away is precisely what data journalist, writer, and artist Mona Chalabi has built her deeply principled career on. Known best for her indelible data visualizations, from the obscenity of Jeff Bezos’s wealth to the Israeli government’s starvation of Palestinians in Gaza and the racial and gender biases in museum collections, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Iraqi-British journalist tackles the subject of wealth and economic inequality in America in her first book, Ten Lives: How What We Have Shapes Who We Are (2026).When I met her in the West...

Son Lux’s newest music video is an atmospheric mini-epic. Last month, the video premiered at MASS MoCA—the piece is a joint commission by the museum and Pioneer Works and made in collaboration with Alex Cook—as an immersive, 17-minute installation titled “Out Into Us (Slow Down),” complementing the release of the band’s ninth studio album. “In the last decade, social media has created a reality in which music is often eclipsed by visuals, served up in an endless buffet of bite-sized and contextless flavors,” says a statement. For this multimedia work, the artists leaned instead toward deeply felt human experiences, like how long it can take to do or understand something. Portraying a...
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah is seeking the culprits behind two incidents of vandalism that left protected petroglyphs near Moab riddled with crude carvings, including that signature and another, less distinct marking. The vandals reportedly struck one site along Highway 279, a scenic stretch parallel to the Colorado River, and one by Hell’s Revenge, a well-known off-road slickrock trail. Photos taken by the Bureau, and first published by SF Gate, show clear damage to the petroglyphs that decorate the rock fave: In one photo, an investigator is seen measuring huge letters—spelling “Craig W”—that now cover a portion of petroglyph depicting animals. Writing on social media, the BLM...
architecture across species
Birds have been building with human-made materials for a long time. Wire, plastic, fabric and other discarded scraps routinely find their way into nests, where they are put to work again and are given new life. In recent years, the examples have become stranger. Magpies and crows have constructed nests from metal spikes installed specifically to keep birds away from buildings. Along the front line in Ukraine, birds have woven fiber-optic cables discarded by military drones into their nests.
These structures show us a model for posthuman architecture that’s quite literal, as their authorship belongs across species. Humans manufacture the materials and alter the landscape,...

The Getty will work with local authorities on the first-ever conservation project on a 17th-century earthen church in the Andean highlands of the Cusco region of Peru. The Church of Santo Tomás de Aquino, locally known as the Church of Rondocan, is a sacred cultural heritage site. Over the years, earthquakes have damaged the church, and not only the structure but also the church’s collection of more than 300 cultural objects is under threat. The Peruvian government has allotted $5 million to a multi-year initiative that will strengthen the earthen site and support the conservation and care of both building and collection, which includes 17th- and 18th-century paintings, gilded wooden retablos and associated...
The original 1996 Windows XP default background is arguably the most viewed photo of all time; its cumulus puffs drifting across a way-too-blue sky are seared into my and countless others’ Y2K childhoods. Such images of fluffy clouds are so ubiquitous that it’s hard to believe they once presented one of photography’s greatest technological challenges. The Met exhibition Chasing Clouds is a pleasing romp through the history of this problem through a union of art and science, spanning the early 1800s to 1929 — roughly photography’s first century. While the medium showed promise as “the pencil of nature,” its first processes were overly sensitive to blue light, registering the sky as a blank white...
On November 5, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation declaring the White House’s Oval Office and Cabinet Room as a national monument—a designation that protects the spaces from major alterations in the future. The proclamation, which is not legally binding, does not prohibit any forthcoming president from redecorating, adding new furniture, or making security […]
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted its 15th annual Art+Film Gala this past weekend, raising nearly $7 million “to support LACMA’s efforts to make film more central to its curatorial programming, as well as the museum’s broader mission,” per a release. Each Art+Film Gala honors one luminary from the art world and one from film. This year’s honorees were artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, while Rosé performed during the festivities. Eva Chow and Leonardio DiCaprio once again served as the evening’s co-chairs. “It was a privilege to recognize the extraordinary careers of Vija Celmins and Denis Villeneuve, whose work can alter our perception of the visual world, or...
On a gray winter day in Paris three years ago, art historian Maria Cristina Terzaghi walked into the back room of a Parisian gallery and came face-to-face with a painting that had been missing for nearly two centuries. The picture was covered in grime, but she recognized it right away: Young Man with a Carafe of Roses, a work believed to have been painted by Caravaggio in the 1590s. Terzaghi, a professor at Roma Tre University and one of the world’s leading Caravaggio scholars, has now offered her most detailed account yet of the discovery. Writing in La Repubblica on Sunday, she explained why she believes the painting is an original by the Italian Baroque master, rather than one of the copies that have...
CHICAGO — I see a lot of exhibitions in Chicago, and lately, I have been noticing more than a few that feel almost ridiculously erotic. I mean, I get it, there's always been plenty of eros in art, but I haven't observed it much lately at the school where I teach nor in the shows that I view. Is sex back? Or it could just be me. I turned 50 this past year, and popular culture suggests that this might be what happens around my age, à la Sharon Horgan's Youth and Olivia Colman's Wicker, both recent screen-based explorations of lusty midlife ladyhood.For those who have never had one or maybe never will, female middle-age libido sets at either zero or 1,000, on a scale of one to 100. It is...

Tattooed with verdant foliage, the central figure in Kelly Sinnapah Mary’s portraits is both a product of and subsumed by the plant life that surrounds her. Born in the French Caribbean territory of Guadeloupe, the artist conjures the mythic stories of her home through surreal scenes in which humans, flora, and fauna find a sort of hybrid harmony. Sinnapah Mary’s recurring figure is named Sanbras, which the artist derived from a derogatory children’s book popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. Through uncanny compositions that rely heavily on saturated color and delicate, organic textures, Sanbras appears as a subversive figure who morphs across various bodies of work and nods to the artist’s enduring...
Ohio State University (OSU) has called off the school's review process to consider removing billionaire benefactor Les Wexner's name from campus buildings, despite hundreds of renaming requests citing Wexner's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Interim Provost Trevor Brown's decision, made public last Friday, November 6, overrides the advisory committee conducting the review.It also comes as a blow to the university's Wexner Center for the Arts staff, who told Hyperallergic they've been “directly affected” by public discontent with the Center's association with Wexner.“Workers will bear the brunt of this decision, fielding angry and hostile comments from the public and...
Archaeologists carrying out emergency conservation work at the ancient Etruscan necropolis of Monte Abatone in Cerveteri, Italy, have found carved rock thrones, walls decorated with paint, and an almost intact jar featuring incised figures. The news was announced on the Facebook page of the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for Southern Etruria. Monte Abatone was one of the principal burial grounds of Caere, an important Etruscan city about 21 miles northwest of Rome. The first great pre-Roman culture on the Italian peninsula, Etruscan civilization flourished roughly from the 9th century BCE until its gradual absorption into the Roman Empire by the 1st century BCE. Caere’s cemeteries...
PUNCTURED steel street curbs LET nature grow THROUGH
Conceived by designer Sara Fernandes, Giving Nature a Voice: Let Them Through is an urban intervention that reevaluates the standard street curb as an active threshold rather than a rigid divider. Drawing observations from spontaneous plant growth emerging within fractured concrete infrastructure, the project translates structural decay into intentional landscape architecture, questioning how standard municipal boundaries segregate soil and pedestrian corridors.

SAQQARA, EGYPT—One of the world’s earliest known autobiographies was written on the walls of the tomb of an Egyptian dignitary named Khuwy, according to a La Brújula Verde report. Khuwy’s tomb was located by Czech archaeologists inside a cemetery in Saqqara that surrounds the pyramid of the 5th Dynasty pharaoh Djedkare Isesi (reigned ca. 2381–2353 B.C.). Dating to around 2400 B.C., it is one of the oldest underground decorated burial apartments. Although most of the upper structure built atop the tomb has not survived, archaeologists found inscribed blocks that once lined its walls. On these, Khuwy described his life and achievements. Among them, he boasts of his moral integrity, stating, “I never...
Photogrammetric image of Rob Roy’s tombstone with different phases of carving highlighted BALQUHIDDER, SCOTLAND—The National reports that new archaeological analysis of the tombstone belonging to Scottish outlaw Rob Roy has revealed that its initial creation predates his death by as much as 1,000 years. Robert “Rob Roy” MacGregor was a prominent seventeenth- and eighteenth-century folk hero who was later immortalized in Sir Walter Scott’s 1818 novel. When he died in 1734, he was laid to rest at Balquhidder Parish Church, where his grave is marked by an elaborately carved stone slab. Recent 3D imaging of the object revealed an unusual cross-like shape that stylistically dates to the early Christian...
Not unlike the way a pearl grows inside a mollusk, wherein an irritant or parasite is gradually coated in a mineral called nacre, Amy Liu’s paintings comprise layers of oil pigment over underpaintings. This preparation technique dates to the early Renaissance, its first use attributed to Jan van Eyck, who added a monochrome glaze to the surface of panels to establish tonal values before building up the picture. In her solo exhibition Pearled Chiaroscuro at Harper’s, Liu taps into the Renaissance in more ways than one. She highlights the convention of deep contrasts and bright highlights known as chiaroscuro, Italian for “light-dark.” It’s an aesthetic we see most famously in the works of Caravaggio,...

WARSAW, POLAND—Excavations within the medieval Great Church of Jesus in northern Sudan’s Old Dongola uncovered a section of the original cathedral floor for the first time, according to an IFL Science report. Old Dongola was the capital of Makuria, a flourishing Nubian kingdom that converted to Christianity in the sixth century A.D. The cathedral once dominated the ancient metropolis, measuring 154 feet wide and 187 long, and standing over six stories high. It was one of the most monumental and important Christian buildings in Nubia, likely serving as the seat of the Bishop of Dongola, one of the most senior Christian figures in medieval sub-Saharan Africa. The recent work was a joint endeavor conducted by...

“Wind knows neither North nor South. Neither East nor West. It moves freely across territories, indifferent to the categories that divide them,” Amine El Gotaibi says. The Moroccan artist positions nature’s apathy toward national boundaries as an entry point for unraveling the forces that shape our perceptions and memories of a place. El Gotaibi’s most recent body of work is on view this month at Southern Guild. Presented in an exhibition titled Wind From the North, a suite of sculptures made of metal and wool speak to the tensions between the land and the state and the ways we mark change. Many of the works emerge from panels of copper or steel weathered to reveal the oxidized patinas only possible...
Die uncovered in a Mongol shipwreck off Takashima Island, Japan TAKASHIMA ISLAND, JAPAN—The Mainichi reports that another thirteenth-century shipwreck has been discovered off Takashima Island, after two others had previously been identified in 2011 and 2015. It is believed that all three vessels went down during the 1281 Battle of Koan, when the Mongol-led Chinese Yuan Dynasty attempted to invade Japan. The recently investigated ship originally measured around 100 feet long and was equipped with living quarters, likely serving as the mother ship of the fleet. Among the items recovered by archaeologists were five dice and 29 small cards used to play koppai, a game that originated in China. “The koppai...
Gold coin of Verica depicting a naked horse-riding female warrior with a spear and the inscriptions VIR (for Verica) and REX BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND—According to a statement released by Bournemouth University, Iron Age British ruler Verica was actually female and not male, contrary to long-held assumptions. Verica ruled the Celtic tribe called the Atrebates in the first century A.D. and was a central figure in the Roman invasion of Britain. After she was ousted from power in A.D. 40, she fled to the Roman emperor Claudius and convinced him to invade the island three years later. The new research was led by Bournemouth archaeologist Miles Russell, who said that the patriarchal mindset of nineteenth-century...
Say you’re on the hunt for a drawing of a duck wearing a hat or a glimpse at Morocco in 1850 or a clip of people celebrating in the streets.

An accessible antidote to generative AI, Arkivism is a new public domain index that catalogs millions of artworks, illustrations, photos, video, and more from dozens of museums and archives around the world. While many digital collections exist online, the “visual library of Alexandria,” as its creator dubs it, is searchable with a phrase, a mode of research that’s become commonplace with the proliferation of chatbots. Simply describe what you’re looking for and be presented with...

“Water is life. People in the cities take it for granted and water their plants and grass. Here it’s precious. We think of water as a deity.” —Tom Holiday, Navajo Nation resident Tim Holiday on a pinnacle above his family home in Monument Valley. Like many Diné, Tim feels his demands for running water amount to shouts in the wind. (July 16, 2024 – Monument Valley, UT) For tens of thousands of citizens living in the Navajo Nation, clean water is considered highly valuable and something not taken for granted, due to the fact more than one in three residents don’t have ready access to it.
