The sculpture—likely dating to the Preclassic period (2500 BCE–200 CE)—was found behind the northern jamb, protruding from the bench within the wide wall.
MEXICO CITY.- Archaeologists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) have made an extraordinary discovery in the ejido of Sierra Papacal, Yucatán — a carved limestone sculpture depicting an “Elder Lord”, believed to date back more than 2,000 years to the Preclassic Maya period (2500 BCE–200 CE). The find was made during archaeological rescue work connected to the construction of the Mérida–Progreso railway bypass, part of the Tren Maya’s freight infrastructure project. The sculpture, measuring about 45 centimeters (18 inches) tall, was discovered near the entrance of what appears to have been a meeting or ceremonial structure, not a domestic dwelling. According to INAH archaeologists, the sculpture was intentionally placed beside the northern jamb of an oval-shaped building made of limestone and perishable materials. Its location suggests that it served as a guardian marker, welcoming or protecting those entering a sacred or restricted s ... More

Smartist founder Ilgar Tali.
MIAMI, FLA.- As more artists turn to self-representation and digital platforms to share their work, one uncomfortable truth keeps surfacing: the world still isn’t built for artists to succeed. Fewer are represented by galleries, most juggle part-time jobs, and the pressure to self-market online has never been higher. That tension between creative integrity and survival is reshaping what it means to be a working artist in 2025. And it’s also driving the rise of tools like Smartist, a visual staging app designed by artists, for artists to help them present their work professionally, without needing a gallery, photo shoot, or expensive software. For founder Ilgar Tali, Smartist was born out of this simple but radical idea: to make it possible for artists to make a living as artists. His mission goes beyond presentation; it’s about removing barriers that keep creators from thriving. By giving them access to the same high-end visualizati ... More
LONDON.- The first ever exhibition in the UK solely dedicated to the painter Catharina van Hemessen (1527/28 – after 1565) will open at the National Gallery in spring 2027. Catharina van Hemessen (4 March – 30 May 2027) will aim to bring together for the first time, from international collections, most of the signed paintings of this trailblazing artist. Flemish Renaissance artist van Hemessen is the earliest European female painter whose works can be identified without doubt because she signed them. Known for her small-scale portraits of women completed between the late 1540s and early 1550s, van Hemessen is the earliest woman artist in the National Gallery’s collection. She is one of only four female painters mentioned by the influential art historians Vasari and Guicciardini as having worked ... More
ROME.- 1+1. The relational years is the first major retrospective in the world dedicated to relational aesthetics, on view at the MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts from 29 October 2025 to 1 March 2026. Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud with associate curator Eleonora Farina, the exhibition traces the evolution of one of the most influential movements of the new millennium, thirty years after its affirmation. Born at the dawn of the Internet era and having become a global language over the years, relational aesthetics identifies a set of practices that place human relationships at their core, rather than the artistic object or the artist’s private space. Proximity, conviviality, micro-utopias and participatory processes are the principles that unite the research of the 45 artists featured in the exhibition, including Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija, Angela ...

HONG KONG.- Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong is presenting Alighiero e Boetti: Ononimo, an exhibition exploring the artist’s enduring fascination with systems, collaboration, and variation. Bringing together works from Boetti’s celebrated Biro and Aerei series, the exhibition traces his investigation into how order and repetition give rise to difference, and how meaning emerges through collective labour, time, and chance. The exhibition’s title, Ononimo – borrowed from Boetti’s 1973 work – derives from a neologism he coined by merging the Italian anonimo (anonymous) and omonimo (homonymous). First written in blue biro in 1971 as a self-reflexive expression, it reflects Boetti’s preoccupation with duality and the splitting of identity, a principle he formalised that same year by inserting an “and” between ...

LONDON.- Victoria Miro presents I Remember, Chantal Joffe’s fourteenth solo exhibition with the gallery. I Remember takes its title from Joe Brainard’s iconic memoir and is inspired by the late American writer’s poetic prompts that evoke the atmosphere and time of memories. Joffe’s paintings attempt to capture the fleeting yet enduring nature of memory and how it shapes our sense of self. ‘Joe Brainard’s book always makes me list for myself the things I remember and the atmosphere and time that they conjure. These paintings are a sort of memoir of my childhood and of my family, an attempt at a kind of time travel. When I am making them, it’s almost as if I am existing in that past.’ – Chantal Joffe Chantal Joffe’s paintings are always attentive to narratives about connection, perception and representation, alerting us to the endless intricacies of bodily expression, the complexities of emotion and attachment, and how these change over time.

Galerie Urs Meile opens Lêna Bùl's "skin in my stomach" ZURICH.- skin in my stomach is the first solo presentation of Lêna Bùi at Galerie Urs Meile where a humble yet rigorous selection of work is featured, charting the artist’s exploration of materials, natural forms and the notion of body as an interchangeable reflection of the world, in a variety of media including silk paintings, photography, handwoven tapestry and moving image. Informed by the body’s internal processes and in ecologist David Abrams’ concept of the body as “the locus of change”, Lêna sees the body as the “direct and only way to experience the world and a place to form or break connections”. In many medicinal traditions, the stomach becomes a potent symbol - the seat of nurturing, intuition, and communication, acting as a nexus bridging us with the external world. The artist also sees the human body as a time vessel, one that constantly connects ... More
kaufmann repetto now represents Clarissa Tossin MILAN.- Clarissa Tossin (b. 1973, Porto Alegre, Brazil) is a Los Angeles–based visual artist investigating the intersections of global economies, colonial histories, migration, and the built environment.

Tossin studied in Brazil and later relocated to the United States, bringing a transnational lens to her artistic inquiry which employs sculpture, installation, video and photography. Her ongoing dialogue between Brasília, the utopian modernist capital of Brazil, and Los Angeles, a sprawling metropolis shaped by migration and movie industry, reveals how modernity travels, mutates, and manifests across contexts.

Textile, body, and memory intertwine in Amine Habki's Nordic debut at Andréhn-Schiptjenko STOCKHOLM.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko presents I Will Sew Up All the Petals of Your Garden, the first solo exhibition in the Nordic region by French-Moroccan artist Amine Habki (b. 2000, Nantes). A recent graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art de Paris-Cergy, Habki belongs to a new generation of artists exploring and reformulating contemporary representations of masculinity. Through a practice that traverses painting, sculpture and textile design, Habki investigates the interplay between absence and presence. By allowing the archetype of the classically masculine, dominant figure to recede, he opens space for a softer, more vulnerable and emotional physicality. His colourful textile works, often incorporating embroidery and found objects, become vessels for stories of identity, desire and belonging, rooted in his French-Moroccan heritage. Habki’s installations, ... More

For her debut solo exhibition in Japan, Simão—a Brazilian artist renowned for her work in oil painting, watercolor, and printmaking—unveiled a new series of landscape-inspired pieces.

Magdalene Odundo unveils new ceramic and glass works in her first exhibition at Xavier Hufkens BRUSSELS.- Xavier Hufkens presents Kenyan-born British artist Magdalene Odundo’s first exhibition at the gallery. Featuring a new body of ceramic vessels and the large-scale glass installation Transition II (2014), the exhibition showcases the two central disciplines that shape her artistic practice. At the heart of the exhibition is a recent series of ceramic vessels, a form that has been a cornerstone of Odundo’s practice for nearly five decades. These vessels, refined in shape and rich in symbolism, draw inspiration from a wide array of global ceramic traditions—African, European, Asian, and Indigenous American – as by the human body, which Odundo likewise regards as a vessel. Her work carries a distinct anthropomorphic presence: gestures, physical states and bodily movements often serve as starting points for a vessel’s form, silhouette, proportion or balance. As ... More

Zoe Walsh's "Night Fields" opens at Yossi Milo in New York NEW YORK, NY.- Yossi Milo announces Zoe Walsh’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery and first in New York, Night Fields, which opens to the public on Thursday, November 13, 2025. Zoe Walsh’s (b. 1989, Washington, D.C.) paintings traverse digital and physical processes, engaging the slippages between mediums to imagine outdoor spaces charged with desire, memory, and transformation. These works recompose the act of looking itself, unsettling hierarchies of medium, identity, and embodiment. Informed by queer photographic history, cinematic montage, and experimental screen printing, Walsh’s paintings resist resolution in favor of flux: between surface and depth, presence and absence, becoming and being. Walsh foregrounds the tensions between photography, virtual space, and painting to propose a visual language that is synthetic and sensuous ... More
Herèms Foundation's Latitudes grant supports Nuits Balnéaires PARIS.- Against the backdrop of the Gulf of Guinea, and in collaboration with local artists, photographer Nuits Balnéaires stages images that explore the relationship between his forebears’ experience of exile and his own perspective on travel and deracination. The Ivorian photographer pursues a profoundly introspective, transgenerational approach as he seeks to lay bare the unseen threads that connect past and present, our identities, and our genetic, cultural and historical heritage. Nuits Balnéaire’s photographic series “Eboro” draws on the world of fairy tales to invite profound reflection on the human condition through a dense, contemplative narrative suffused with melancholy and nostalgia, akin to saudade. Eboro refers to humanity’s place of origin, in the metaphysical thought of the Nzima and Agni-Bona peoples, based mostly in Côte d’Ivoire. At the end of our life ... More
