SAN ANTONIO, TX.- Many never-before-seen paintings, sculptures and mixed-media objects anchor an exhibition that does what artist Michael Tracy did for his six-decade career: challenge us to think deeply about those things we hold dear. More than 50 objects welcome visitors in “Michael Tracy: The Elegy of Distance,” on view March 1-July 27. The works promote critical thinking, empathy, thoughtful exchange and healing as viewers consider faith, ritual, immigration and the environment. An original soundscape by musical composer Omar Zubair will complement the presentation. “Although the artist withdrew from the museum and gallery ecosystem for years, the issues his work addresses have become increasingly urgent,” said René Paul Barilleaux, the McNay’s head of curatorial affairs. “The McNay’s exhibition will bring attention to this significant American ...

MILAN.- kaufmann repetto is presenting Underwater, a series of 13 new paintings by Sadie Benning which originated as drawings made in 2018. “At the time I was thinking about climate change — flooding — and the destabilizing reality of the neofascist power structures being enacted by Trump during his first term.” Benning highlights the continued effort by the far right to spread misinformation about what is and is not “natural” — drawing a parallel between the willful denial of climate change and the denial of trans existence. Through an innovative process which Benning has perfected over the past two decades, these works both complicate and merge the categories of painting, drawing and sculpture. Working alone, Benning shapes each work by hand, rendering a surface which encapsulates the intimate act of its construction. In Underwater, the colorful figures ... More

Manos Tsangaris, President of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin.
BERLIN.- The artist and curator Fareed Armaly was selected to receive the Käthe Kollwitz Prize 2025 by a jury consisting of Akademie members Ayşe Erkmen, Mona Hatoum, and Eran Schaerf. The Berlin-based artist declined the prize with the following statement: “I […] wish to express my deep respect for the institution of the Käthe Kollwitz prize, the Akademie der Künste, and the jury for awarding me this honor as a recognition of my work. There have been numerous periods during my productivity as an artist in Germany that I would have gladly accepted this honor. At this historical juncture, I am unable to align myself with any institution operating under the current cultural policy framework of the German government. To maintain my voice as an artist and speak meaningfully through your act of recognition, I must decline this award.” (Fareed Armaly in a letter to Akademie President Manos Tsangaris) Akademie President Manos Tsangaris respects the ...

DUBLIN.- In Autumn 2008, Gerard Byrne bought a used camera from a friend for cash. For 17 years since that day, the camera (a Mamiya 7 analogue stills camera) has travelled far and wide with the artist, giving rise to an ongoing photographic project. The Struggle With the Angel presents the first comprehensive exhibition from this body of work. The exhibition revolves around a suite of selenium-toned silver gelatin photographs, each hand-printed by Byrne in a darkroom he built solely to produce this project. Pyramids in Mexico, the apex of a corrugated shed roof in Broadstone, Palestinian murals, the US airforce, prone artists, prone marble nudes, graveyards, the deceased, St Francis, Gandhi, sons, mothers, friends, other artists, strangers. The field of references accumulated across these photographs is broad and tolerant. While the references and motifs are diverse, the central question ... More
Joachim Brohm, "Paar in Einkaufszentrum", aus der Serie "Flash Ohio", 1983/84. C-Print, 50 x 60cm.
PLAUEN.- Stepping into Galerie Forum K in Plauen is like stepping back into a pivotal moment in German photography. Joachim Brohm's "VERICOLOR," an exhibition showcasing his early work from 1979 to 1984, opened its doors last Friday, and it's a revelation for anyone interested in the evolution of color photography as an art form. In the late 1970s, a young Joachim Brohm, armed with his Plaubel Makina, roamed the Ruhr region, North Germany, and even ventured to France and the USA. But he wasn't just taking snapshots; he was forging a new path. Unlike his peers, who were sticking to traditional black and white, Brohm embraced Kodak Vericolor film, becoming one of the first European photographers to seriously explore color photography in an artistic context. What makes this exhibition so special is the chance to witness the "magic of an artistic awakening," as Heinz Liesbrock puts it. Brohm's early work, now recognized as groundbreaking, ... More
LONDON.- White Cube Mason’s Yard is presenting a solo exhibition of works by Alia Ahmad (b.1996, Riyadh). Ahmad’s colourful, expressionistic paintings draw inspiration from memories and observations of her native Riyadh, informed by local textiles, poetry, calligraphy, digital graphics and the rich diversity of the surrounding industrialised desert landscape and plant life. Executed with thickly applied oil paint, the works in the exhibition continue the artist’s engagement with her local environment – from the vibrant flowers that thrive in Riyadh’s arid climate, to the city’s evolving infrastructure. Ahmad’s paintings are presented alongside a suite of intricate charcoal works on paper. White Cube announced global representation of Alia Ahmad in September 2024. ‘Fields / ﻣﯾﺎدﯾ ’ marks the artist’s second exhibition with the gallery, following her solo show in Paris in March 2024.

Bumhira and Chihota reflect on themes of intimacy, domesticity and the body, using the language of the everyday to pose broader existential questions. Both artists draw from their biographies, using their upbringing, family, religion, and community as foundational lenses to explore the intersections of personal and collective histories. Hurukuro showcases large-scale, wall- ... More

Resonance reimagined: ton not. not ton returns to Kunsthalle Münster for a third sonic journey MÜNSTER.- Following two successful editions in 2021 and 2023, ton not. not ton takes place at Kunsthalle Münster for the third time. With Bear Bones Lay Low, Isaac Chong Wai, Gajek, Keta Gavasheli + Gregor Darman, Satch Hoyt, Steffani Jemison, Annika Larsson + E.I. the Blob and Alvin Lucier, we have again invited visual artists and musicians. Concert, performance, exhibition: ton not. not ton is devoted to the sound of things and to what sound evokes, allowing it to appear in acoustic interventions and objects in space, and come to life in one's own imagination—vibrating and haptic, visual and immaterial, embodied and disembodied. The focus of the third edition of ton not. not ton lies on resonance. How is sound produced, how is it absorbed by the body, how does it resonate within us and how do we resonate within our surroundings? What traces do we leave ... More
A 1990s photo series debuts at Alice Austen House STATEN ISLAND, NY.- Seminal artists Marlene McCarty and Donald Moffett debut a previously unseen photo series from the early 1990s at the Alice Austen House. Marlene McCarty and Donald Moffett’s collaboration began as members of Gran Fury—the AIDS activist collective and graphic arm of ACTUP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power). Public interventions were staged using the language of art and advertising to make visible the catastrophe and political crisis of the AIDS epidemic. It was this collision that inspired McCarty and Moffett to found Bureau—a trans-disciplinary design studio in New York City active in print, film titles, and pedagogy. Bureau existed from 1989 to 2001. ONE DAY in 1992, the partners were asked by Princeton University School of Architecture to design its Lecture Series Calendar.

Minouk Lim's hyper yellow illuminates 30 years of art at Ilmin Museum SEOUL.- Ilmin Museum of Art (Director: Kim Taeryung) is pleased to present Hyper Yellow, a solo exhibition of Minouk Lim (b. 1968), on view from February 28 to April 20. The exhibition presents over thirty years of Lim’s artistic practice and traces the subtle sensitivities she seeks to preserve and the vision of beauty she pursues as an artist. This exhibition highlights Minouk Lim’s concept of “Hyper Yellow,” investigating the interplay between urban spaces and artistic practice. Emerging through a research grant from the Obayashi Foundation three years ago, “Hyper Yellow” refers to a state of exceeding or surpassing yellow―extending beyond color to signify the complex geopolitical and cultural space of the Yellow Sea. Beyond colors, the discussion is expanded to the geographical and cultural space of the Yellow Sea, which mediates the Northeast Asian Sinitic ... More

Dwight Cleveland's legendary collection of rare movie posters steps into the spotlight at Heritage Auctions DALLAS, TX.- Collectors who single-handedly define an entire market are exceedingly rare, and Dwight Cleveland is one of them. On March 27-28, Heritage offers the cream of the Chicago-based Cleveland’s collection in a single-owner auction and proves that his acumen, enthusiasm and strategy of collecting cinema’s greatest movie posters — from Golden-Age Hollywood classics — such as Casablanca and King Kong, to the esoterica of international interpretations of familiar favorites like Cabaret and Barbarella, to one-of-a-kind lobby cards dating back to the early 1900s — has landed him at the top of the collector and philanthropic hierarchy. Cleveland’s storied collection is distinguished by a key factor: He collects his materials based on the seduction and impact of their imagery, artistry and history rather than the more usual practice of building a collection around, say, ...

Rebecca Shore's illusory rooms open at Derek Eller Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of recent paintings by Chicago based artist Rebecca Shore in the North Room. Intimately scaled and immaculately rendered, Shore’s paintings of domestic spaces mediate between disparate perspectives: interior and exterior, near and far, direct and obstructed. Having recently moved from a shallower to a deeper space, Shore depicts everyday objects, furniture, artworks, and landscape features which incorporate pattern and recurring decorative motifs. A colorful hanging mobile, tree stumps, flowers and vases, wrought iron fencing, and a painting of the night sky make multiple appearances. Shore’s rooms and terraces exist in an isometric space, one in which geometric shapes are rotated and flattened, creating familiar but illusory environments. Vantage points shift from inside to outside, ... More
