AMSTERDAM.- This year marks the 50th anniversary of Document Netherlands, the Rijksmuseum’s annual photographic commission. Each year, a Dutch photographer is invited to explore and document a current social topic. For the 2025 edition the museum asked Iranian-Dutch photographer, filmmaker and artist Tina Farifteh (b. 1982) to document the subject of asylum. The central figure in her exhibition is a man identified only by his initial: B. Following more than four months in immigration detention at Schiphol Airport and a stay in Ter Apel asylum complex, B. is now in the midst of an asylum procedure. Previous photographers commissioned for Document Netherlands include Ed van der Elsken, Hans Aarsman, Céline van Balen, Dana Lixenberg, Sharelly Emanuelson and Mounir Raji. The exhibition runs from 1 November 2025 to 11 January 2026. "B.’s words and gaze hold up a mirror to us, lending meaning to the photographs of the bleak and often hostile architecture of the Dutch asylum system. How is it that a syst ... More
LINZ.- What does it mean to be a girl* – then and now? The exhibition Being a Girl*!? From Panel Painting to Social Media explores the changing images and roles of girl*hood – between art-historical tradition and contemporary social politics. Around 160 works spanning eight centuries – from late medieval depictions and bourgeois portraiture to contemporary perspectives – reveal how ideas of girls*, bodies, and identity have evolved, and which notions continue to persist today. According to prevailing social codes, girls* are expected to be strong, confident, sexy, smart, slim, sexually enlightened, well educated, family- and career-oriented, heterosexual, feminine – yet also cool and independent. This exaggerated ideal reflects the immense pressure placed on female children and adolescents. From an early age, women are taught to view themselves through the “male gaze” – a perspective that pushes them into a passive role. This dynamic is ... More

Laure Prouvost, We Felt a Star Dying, 2025. Installation view at OGR Torino. Commissioned by LAS Art Foundation and OGR Torino. Photo: Andrea Rossetti.
TURIN.- OGR Torino presents We Felt a Star Dying, a new immersive installation by artist Laure Prouvost that explores the paradoxical logic of quantum physics and its derivative technologies. Co-commissioned by OGR Torino and LAS Art Foundation, and first presented by the German institution in the industrial spaces of Kraftwerk, Berlin, the work questions what it means to perceive reality from a quantum perspective, marking a new stage in the artist’s practice. In her films and multimedia installations, Laure Prouvost constructs imaginary worlds where logic bends, narratives multiply and intersect, and fragments of poetry slip into unexpected details. With humor, wordplay and fantastical elements, she invites the public to unlearn the codes of everyday life and open themselves to new ways of thinking and engaging with the world – an invitation to let go and embrace an unconventional approach to experiences. A century ago, ... More
VENICE.- Victoria Miro presents Incroci del Passato (Crossroads of the Past) by London-based Nigerian artist Richard Ayodeji Ikhide. During a residency with the gallery in Venice in spring 2025, Ikhide began a series of tempera paintings which he later completed upon return to London. The exhibition is accompanied by new text by Minna Moore Ede. ‘Reclaiming elements of early Italian painting, Ikhide draws authority from the historical tradition, but he also expands it. Infusing it with his own unique mythology, he recodes its values and makes it his own.’ – Minna Moore Ede Working in egg tempera on panel for the first time, Ikhide seeks to bridge artistic traditions ranging from the devotional paintings of the Italian Renaissance to the ritual objects and ancestral knowledge of his Nigerian heritage. In these new works, archetypal figures emerge – parents, children, seekers, holy families – each inhabiting charged symbolic landscapes where ... More
FRANKFURT.- The DZ BANK Art Foundation invites visitors to lose their balance—intellectually and emotionally—with its new exhibition “Stumble, Please!”. This bold and thought-provoking show gathers works by more than twenty international artists who embrace error, failure, and imperfection as creative forces. From photography and video to sound and installation, each piece challenges what it means to “get things right” in art and in life. When was the last time we truly stumbled—physically, mentally, or morally? The curators use this question as a starting point, encouraging audiences to see missteps not as flaws, but as catalysts for change. “Stumble, Please!” turns the notion of failure into something fertile: a space for reflection, humor, and discovery. Working closely with Dr. Franziska Kunze from Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne, the foundation draws inspiration from her earlier exhibition “Glitch: The Art of Disturbance.” Here, too, ... More

VIENNA.- Modern and contemporary art, alongside exquisite jewels and timepieces, will take centre stage at Dorotheum’s Contemporary Week major autumn auctions in Vienna from 18 to 21 November 2025, followed by the Editions sale on 3 December. Opening with drawings by Gustav Klimt and a gouache by Egon Schiele, the Modern Art sale on 18 November 2025 features a wide range of works, including the painting ‘Couple sur coq rouge’ by Marc Chagall from the 1970s (estimate € 300,000 – 400,000). Schiele’s Crouching Female Nude (1917), from the penultimate year of his life, marks the beginning of a new, intense creative phase. During this period, the artist’s focus shifted away from the expressionist tension of earlier years towards the human body as a formal phenomenon. This museum-quality work, formerly in the Lederer Collection and later restituted, is estimated at €1.8 – 2.5 million (see booklet). Schiele’s stylistic ... More

Installation view of Written in Her Own Hand at Persons Projects.
BERLIN.- Persons Projects is presenting Zofia Kulik’s solo exhibition, Written in Her Own Hand, which traces the various stages of her artistic emancipation as she discovers her own voice as an independent female artist. The exhibition also serves as the initial platform for her first monographic book, published by Thames & Hudson, which comprehensively explores Kulik’s extraordinary body of work. The exhibition begins with her most memorable graduate work (1968–1971) and follows her transition into the collaborative duo KwieKulik (1971–1987), formed with her partner Przemysław Kwiek- Ending with a large black-and-white self-portrait depicting her as a queen. Together, these selected works provide a deeper understanding of how Kulik’s individual career developed into what it is today. A central part of Kulik’s graduation diploma at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts was a three- screen slide projection titled Instead of Sculpture, composed of around 500 photogra ... More
Wolf Kahn, Back Meadow, 2008. Oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches, 61 x 76.2 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery opened an exhibition of works by Wolf Kahn, curated by M. Rachael Arauz, Ph.D., on view 30 October through 20 December 2025 at 520 West 21st Street. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Arauz. A reception and curatorial walk-through with Dr. Rachael Arauz will take place Thursday 6 November 2025 from 6:00 — 8:00 p.m. Wolf Kahn painted the world around him with a reverent devotion. To Kahn, even the most familiar landscapes were a wellspring of limitless inspiration. By returning again and again to idyllic vistas, densely packed woods, and humble barns, he mined the same scenes for meaning, each canvas reflecting the subtle shifts of season or time of day while also satisfying his drive for material exploration. As a master colorist, his palette was not limited to the naturalistic or muted tones of traditional landscape painting; with vibrant oranges, pensive lilacs, and acidic greens, ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Luhring Augustine announces the premiere of Sunday Without Love, a new single channel video work by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson. Opening on November 1, and running through December 20, this exhibition marks the artist’s seventh solo presentation with the gallery and his first show in the Tribeca location. Sunday Without Love is inspired by a mid-twentieth century postcard that lives on Kjartansson’s fridge depicting a scene of people wearing matching folk costumes in a nameless location and, incongruously, one of them holding a jazz guitar. Kjartansson, along with nine other performers, donned outfits to mimic this postcard and performed a fragile chorus on repeat in a similar idyllic, pastoral setting. The music was adapted by Kjartansson and frequent collaborator Davíð Þór Jónsson from “Ohne Liebe Leben Lernen,” a 1996 comedic song by German ... More
Okoyomon’s bears embody the space between the projection of selfhood and the transition to everything that lies outside.
PARIS.- Mendes Wood DM is presenting It’s important to have ur fangs out at the end of the world, the first solo exhibition by Precious Okoyomon at the gallery. The show brings together new works that trace the artist’s exploration of ecosystems and dreams and how modes of relationality and belonging figure within these alternative imaginings. Through an installation comprising wallpaper, drawings, dioramas, and bears, Okoyomon stages oneiric inner worlds where the childlike and the erotic become paths to understanding how fragility can be a radical condition of care and transformation, while the structural violence of sexual shame is undone with vitality and mischief. The artist has written a new fable to accompany the exhibition. If one were to reduce matter to its smallest unit, it would come down to particles. The most infinitesimal division, irreducible and restless. Yet, such units never exist in pure isolation. Their destiny is relational, perpetually bound into frenzied field ... More
LUCERNE.- Time passes, but what remains, what disappears? The exhibition Mosaïque, présence, absence presents the latest works by Yann Stéphane Bisso (*1998), who addresses the theme of the perception of time and its traces. A 27-part work series not only transposes two-dimensional painting into three-dimensional sculpture, it also adds a temporal component, designated in art theory as the fourth dimension: by basing one image on a previous one, Yann Stéphane Bisso creates a sequence of movement. Using copy, repetition and rhythm, he counters the Eurocentric view of constant progress and a linear time sequence with a cyclical form of memory and of the perception of time. Time, even more so its passing, its slipping away, is also present in the painting Sablier, vapeur flottante… (Hourglass, wafting fog…) in which the reflection of a boat on the water’s surface becomes an hourglass. Possible associations are the passing of life and the crossing through dark waters ... More

Matthew Lutz-Kinoy transforms Capitain Petzel into a sensual stage with "Bolero Bordello" BERLIN.- Capitain Petzel is presenting Matthew Lutz-Kinoy’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Bolero Bordello. Lutz-Kinoy treats exhibitions like immersive architectures, positioning painting as backdrop and sculpture as spatial intervention. Often conceived as total environments, his works respond to a venue’s architecture and site-specificity, entwining sensual, silhouetted bodies with recurring ornamental motifs, vegetation and floral arabesques, references to art historical movements, from Expressionism to Rococo. His paintings also carry the carnal vitality of 18th-century traditions, with dynamic bodily forms, gestural brushwork and ethereal layers, coupled with an ability to traverse a transhistorical landscape. These sensuous environments can feel like entry points to alternative spaces of communion, where the synergy of historical ornament and abundance lingers ... More

Binta Diaw weaves resistance and ecology in solo show at PAV Parco Arte Vivente TURIN.- PAV Parco Arte Vivente announces Dove le liane s’intrecciano. Resistenze, alleanze, terre (Where the lianas intertwine. Resistances, alliances, lands), the solo show by Binta Diaw, curated by Marco Scotini. Following previous solo exhibitions by Navjot Altaf, Arahmaiani, and Regina José Galindo, Diaw’s project continues PAV’s exploration of the intersection between nature and feminist thought at a moment of deep ecological and social transformation. Taking its title from the plant world, the exhibition evokes the poetic and political qualities of the liana, a climbing plant that twists, resists, and survives through interconnection. For Diaw, this vegetal image becomes a metaphor for resilience, mutual support, and the relational fabric that sustains both ecosystems and diasporic identities. Drawing on the traditions and diasporic histories of Afro-descendant women, the artist ... More

Leonard Pongo explores living landscapes and ancestral memory in Project Loop solo exhibition LONDON.- Project Loop is presenting a solo exhibition of new works by the third resident artist Leonard Pongo. Pongo is a Belgian-Congolese artist whose lens-based practice spans various printing techniques, textile, video and installation. Working through layered and tactile compositions, he investigates the relationship between image, material and the living environment. His installations evoke inhabited spaces, assembled from objects, fabrics and imagery that trace connections to the Congolese landscape and its ancestral narratives. Pongo approaches landscape not as a static view but as a dynamic, sentient entity. Using modified cameras capable of capturing light beyond the visible spectrum, he constructs visual worlds that straddle the threshold between the real and the imagined. Through reflective and translucent materials, his works generate ... More
