JERUSALEM.- In an archaeological excavation conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority prior to building a new Kiryat Gat neighborhood, an advanced flint industry dating back approximately 5,500 years was uncovered – evidence of specialization in a unique technology. The items, including the flint cores from which the blades were made, are being shown for the first time this summer as part of the tours at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem. Near Kiryat Gat, a 5,500-year-old flint blade production workshop was discovered – the first ever discovered in southern Israel. The discovery – evidence of the technological sophistication already at the Early Bronze Age’s onset, includes long flint blades, and even – a rare occurrence – the large stone cores used to produce them were also found. These findings were unearthed in a large Israel Antiquities Authority salvage excavation at the Naẖal Qomem sit ... More

MIAMI, FLA.- In the heart of Miami's Little Havana, just as the summer sun filters through the royal palms of Calle Ocho, Latin Art Core opens its doors to a world where light, myth, and nature breathe in unison. Stepping into Manuel Mendive: With the New Day the Sun Shines and Leads Us feels less like entering a gallery, rather like crossing a threshold into a realm where the spiritual and earthly coexist in luminous harmony. On view through August 31, this major exhibition brings together 46 works by the internationally celebrated Cuban artist--his most recent pieces created between 2023 and 2025, alongside a carefully curated selection of earlier, iconic works. Together, they chart the evolution of a visionary who has spent decades weaving together the visible and invisible realms--where man and nature are not separate, but symphonic. Now 80, Mendive shows no signs of slowing down. ... More

AMSTERDAM.- This summer, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam presents the exhibition Things I’ve Never Seen Before, showcasing a selection from the donation by gallerist and collector Fons Welters. In 2022, Welters donated a series of remarkable works to the museum. Many of the artists in this donation are already represented in the Stedelijk's collection. Fons Welters, formerly an arable farmer in South Limburg, opened his gallery in Amsterdam's Jordaan district at the age of 42. Since its founding in 1985, Galerie Fons Welters has become a vital space for emerging talent. Welters is considered a key figure in Amsterdam’s contemporary art scene. “I’m always looking for things I’ve never seen before,” says Welters. This open and curious mindset defines his approach to collecting. He often encountered artists early ... More

CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago announced Charles Gaines: Night/Crimes, on view August 9, 2025 through February 1, 2026. The exhibition focuses on a series of works Charles Gaines created from 1994 to 1997, in which he paired archival photographs of violent crime scenes, victims, and indicted murderers with images of constellations that could have been seen in the night sky when the crimes occurred. This is the first museum exhibition of the Night/Crimes series since it was first shown thirty years ago. Since the 1970s, Gaines has worked with numeric systems and repeating visual structures to investigate representation. His areas of focus have ranged from race theory and language theory to objects in the natural world. Each pair of photographs in this exhibition has a location and date of the crime written on the Plexiglass covering. The works also include the astronomical position of the pictured constellation, and a date 50 years after the date of the crime. The future ... More
The America’s Cup is the pinnacle of sailing—a battle of alpha ambition and prowess.
NEW YORK, NY.- It’s the world’s oldest international sports competition. Its name conjures stormy seas, courageous crews, and entrepreneurs willing to risk everything. The America’s Cup is played out on a lavish scale—vast sponsorships, larger-than-life egos, and a hunger for victory that has spanned three centuries, pitting the most sophisticated yachts and best helmsmen against each other. This Collector’s Edition, produced in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, features a special case designed by Marc Newson, crafted from cotton sailcloth and fitted with a custom-made Louis Vuitton metal closure, in a salute to the technology that defines the sport. The story of the Cup began in 1851, when the schooner America stunned the British fleet, winning a race around the Isle of Wight. The crew renamed the trophy in honor of their boat, declaring it a ‘perpetual challenge cup’. There have been 37 editions of the Cup since that inaugural upset, with the New York Yacht Club h ...

Omid Nemalhabib, Alter Poetry, 2025, Type design, kinetic typography, motion graphics.
GWANGJU.- Organized by the Gwangju Media Art Platform in collaboration with Art Center Nabi, Code as Canvas: Creative Graphics in the Age of AI presents seven artists who explore code as a visual and conceptual medium. Moving beyond its role as a technical tool, the exhibition investigates how code becomes a language for graphic experimentation, spatial design, and emotional expression in the age of artificial intelligence. The exhibition unfolds in two parts. Form as Code examines code as a compositional system that shapes rhythm, structure, and typographic syntax. Artists Peter Cho, Bob Faust, Zach Lieberman, and Omid Nemalhabib engage with gesture-based interaction, generative typography, and algorithmic processes to reveal code’s ability to structure visual logic and sensorial experience. The Poetic Machine, the second section, considers how code mediates memory, emotion, and identity. Artists Susan Detroy, Renata Janiszewska, and ... More
Installation view from the exhibition Dark World. Photo: Metean Bars (Salt).
ISTANBUL.- Dark World investigates the intricate story of the film that shares its title, directed by Metin Erksan and written by Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, situating it within the cultural landscape of 1950s Turkey. The exhibition traces the narratives surrounding the film and the questions raised by altered versions, public debates, rumors, conflicting accounts, and archival materials. Shot with a social realist perspective in the village of Sivrialan (Sivas) and the town of Ürgüp (Nevşehir), the film portrays the life of Âşık Veysel, from his childhood to his emergence as a renowned folk poet, intertwined with a melodramatic love story. Yet the film’s narrative takes an unexpected turn after parts of the film were remade to align with the agricultural development and rural modernization policies of the period. The footage of combine harvesters in the Hudson fields—sourced from the United States Information Service, according ... More
The central artistic element consists of chains of pennants, whose flags do not follow the usual triangular shape but instead take the silhouette of a palm tree.
KASSEL.- As part of the 70th anniversary of documenta, the Fridericianum presents an extraordinary project by the artist Cosima von Bonin, who was born in Mombasa in 1962 and now lives in Cologne: 7000 Palmen (7000 palm trees), revolves around creativity, community, and festive moments, as well as references to documenta, art history and social interaction. The central artistic element consists of chains of pennants, whose flags do not follow the usual triangular shape but instead take the silhouette of a palm tree, an element also found in other works by von Bonin. All visitors of the Fridericianum—children, young people, and adults alike—are invited to pick up their own palm tree garland at the Kunsthalle and decorate their neighborhood, balcony, or living room with it. This way, the project aims to involve as many people as possible in this unique artistic initiative, and to ... More

Murals at the Regional Museum of the Peoples of Morelos will be restored to their vibrancy. Photo: Erick Alvarado. Juan Dubernard Photo Library, INAH Morelos Center.
CUERNAVACA.- A piece of history that was lost for half a century is now being carefully brought back to life at the Regional Museum of the Peoples of Morelos (Murepumo). Murals from the 1930s, once hidden behind a false ceiling, are undergoing a second round of restoration to repair damage from a 2023 tropical storm. The murals, painted by artists Eduardo Solares and Salvador Tarazona, were uncovered during a museum renovation that ended in 2022. They had been concealed for so long that their existence was almost a myth. Sadly, a storm in July 2023 caused leaks that left the paintings with humidity stains, salt deposits, and flaking paint, threatening to erase them once more. Now, a team of independent restorers is working to save the art, a process the public can witness firsthand. "For the first time in the museum’s history, people ... More
The Malta Pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale, 2026.
GWANGJU.- Arts Council Malta will be participating in the prestigious Gwangju Biennale in South Korea in 2026, with the project BEJN / IN-BETWEEN. This will be the first time Malta is taking part in this event, which has become firmly established as one of Asia’s foremost contemporary art events, serving as a stage for leading contemporary artists to present experimental and innovative work.

Inaugural Klaipėda Biennial: Sunset Every Two Years KLAIPėDA.- The inaugural edition of the Klaipėda Biennial—titled Sunset Every Two Years and curated by Valentinas Klimašauskas—takes “transit” as its conceptual departure point. Derived from the Latin transitus, meaning passage or change, transit is explored not just as physical or temporal movement, but as a state of transformation—planetary, ecological, historical, political, and poetic. The Biennial unfolds through several interlinked thematic lenses. First, the Biennial itself—by nature a recurring event—functions as a transitory phenomenon. In astronomy, a transit marks one celestial body passing across another. The title Sunset Every Two Years evokes both Klaipėda’s poetic identity as ‘the city of sunsets’ and a suspended, desynchronised sense of time. It reflects modernity’s contradictions, where planetary and personal time intersect, and art becomes ... More
National Air and Space Museum displays advanced air mobility aircraft WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum welcomes the Wisk Gen 3 prototype electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft for a temporary display of innovations in the emerging field of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Short-range transport aircraft lifted and propelled with high efficiency electric motors—an arrangement known in the industry as distributed electric propulsion—offer the potential to reshape movement in the 21st century. This aircraft, on loan from Wisk, will be on display for 18 months, alongside a model of the company’s current Gen 6 design, intended as a fully autonomous four-passenger air taxi. The Gen 3 is the first eVTOL to be displayed at the museum. The Wisk Gen 3 and Gen 6 are examples of AAM aircraft that use electric motors to drive small propellers for lift and thrust. This system of distributed electric propulsion ... More
Simian announces Mood Curriculum: A new podcast and event series by Kristian Vistrup Madsen COPENHAGEN.- Mood Curriculum is a new series of podcasts and events curated by Kristian Vistrup Madsen that takes as its starting point his essay Mood over Content published by Kunstkritikk last year. Mood implies both attunement and resonance; the possible dissolution of the boundary between object and subject. Mood is not information, but inherent to art's own ontology. Here, artwork and practice cannot be separated, but form a unit that necessitates that art's dissemination in itself must be practiced as an art form. What it posits is something at once so obvious and so completely alien as a turn towards aesthetic experience in contemporary art. The series opens with three podcasts featuring JF Martel, Ariana Reines, and Simon Critchley. The first live event will be on 14 August with artist James Richards and curator Fatima Hellberg. Further podcasts and events ... More
Rebecca Brodskis: Un Geste - A Gesture - Un Gesto on view at Centro de las Artes San Luis Potosí SAN LUIS POTOSÍ.- Rebecca Brodskis’ art emerges from the crossroads of cultures, shaped by her life in Marseille—a city defined by its diversity and Mediterranean outlook. Born in France and raised between Europe and Morocco, Brodskis draws on her experience of multiple worlds to reveal the universal language of emotion and gesture that connects us all. Her paintings inhabit the realm of portraiture, yet they do not portray specific individuals; blending reality and imagination, observation and memory, Brodskis captures something essential about our shared humanity. Her compositions are spare and focused, stripping away extraneous detail to foreground the figure. Each subject, rendered in vivid, layered colors, is caught in a moment—like a still from a moving image. These bold characters, with their luminous eyes and angular poses, seduce us with their intensity and invite ... More
Bienal das Amazônias presents opening week program for second edition BELÉM.- The 2nd Bienal das Amazônias. Verde-Distância opens with time spent together. This first week is a convergence, a moment where exhibition, public program, and lived relations overlap. Set in Belém, a city shaped by the confluence of forest, port, and river, the biennial moves through and with the temporalities of the region. It amplifies grounded forms of knowing and listens to what is sometimes difficult to say. It invites us to dwell in the entanglements between languages, between bodies, and between worlds that refuse capture. Throughout the opening week we are reminded that gathering can be an ethical gesture, that distance can be fertile, and that art can become a form of dreaming together, grounded and receptive to what the present has yet to imagine. From August 27 to 31, 2025, the Bienal unfolds through a series of embodied encounters and collective ... More
ANTI Festival presents 24th edition You Are Here KUOPIO.- ANTI—Contemporary Art Festival will take place September 9-14, 2025 in Kuopio, Finland. The programme of the 24th edition explores questions of producing, archiving, and exhibiting knowledge. The festival works also discuss different phenomena drawing on place, space and belonging. ANTI will offer participants a place to collectively reflect on challenging themes and topics but also to simply gather together. “It’s our privilege to create an environment for the live encounter with each other in our shared present, to take space, to share space, to assert what we experience as knowledge about this moment in history. In a moment when so much is unknown—and much remains to discover, recover and repair—we hope that in Kuopio in 2025, we will be able to say one thing with certainty: You Are Here,” the festival’s curators Elisa Itkonen and Season Butler write. ANTI ... More
GW Contemporary opens inaugural exhibition LAGUNA BEACH, CALIF.- GW Contemporary is presenting Lucent Ground: Contemporary Perspectives on Abstraction, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition, on view from July 20 through September 7, 2025. Curated by gallery founder Genevieve Williams, the exhibition brings together eleven international artists whose practices engage materiality and perception in deeply considered, often unexpected ways. Lucent Ground explores surface, form, and visual experience - foregrounding artists whose works reward close looking. Subtle shifts in material and structure offer new ways of seeing, revealing a world where surfaces become thresholds, dimensionality is in flux, and structure and spontaneity exist in quiet tension. Informed by movements such as Light and Space, minimalism, and post-minimal abstraction, the exhibition evokes a heightened sensitivity to light, texture, ... More
Visions of Love by Douglas Kirkland in new photobook "Romance" NEW YORK, NY.-Douglas Kirkland: Romance (Damiani Books, 2025), a new collection of work by the late Canadian-American photographer, features images of famous and anonymous couples and embodies a vision of romance that transcends generations. Kirkland is well known for iconic photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, and Coco Chanel, among many others, yet at the core of his images is a heartfelt sensitivity. As director Baz Luhrmann once said, “Douglas’ pictures have this warmth and humanity; they have romance.” Romance features portraits of legendary couples, such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton; familiar faces, including Paul Newman, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, and Princess Diana; silver screen romances from Out of Africa, Moulin Rouge! and Titanic; and some never-before-seen images. This book ... More
Walker Youngbird Foundation awards grant to Grace Rosario Perkins WASHINGTON, DC.- Painter Grace Rosario Perkins brings Indigenous abstraction into bold new terrain through a collaborative project. The Brooklyn-based artist has been named the second 2025 recipient of the Walker Youngbird Foundation's Emerging Native Arts Grant. The Emerging Native Arts Grant provides $15,000 over six months, along with mentorship from Foundation staff and Advisory Council members. The program supports emerging Native artists whose practices reflect cultural depth and material invention—bold work grounded in Indigenous experience. Perkins, who is Diné (Navajo) and Akimel O'odham, creates layered abstractions built from text, found materials, and ritual—work that's both deeply personal and powerfully collective.
