Hewitt’s extensive artistic career spans over five decades and encompasses a prolific output of paintings, drawings, prints, works on paper, sculpture, ceramics, and even film. The exhibition will feature a new series of paintings completed this year alongside signature illuminated wall-mounted sculptures. Raised in Maine, Hewitt came from a large working-class family and moved to New York City as a young aspiring artist. Immediately drawn to the grittiness the artworld embodied at the time, Hewitt’s social and working milieu included then relatively unknown artists and luminaries such as Elaine DeKooning, Phillip Guston, among others. However successful and vast Hewitt’s trajectory and social circle grew, the artist never forgot ... More

MIAMI, FLA.- Fidel García, a self-taught visual artist from Puebla, Mexico, develops a painting practice that moves between figurative realism and expressive abstraction. His work explores the tension between the corporeal and the spiritual, the real and the fantastic, employing the human figure, color, and light as vehicles of emotional energy and transcendence. His visual language combines technical rigor, expressive gesture, and constant experimentation, bringing a balance between structure and spontaneity that invites the viewer to engage in introspection. Fidel Garcia is drawn to compositions with strong form and color, capable of making an immediate impact. When human figures emerge within them, they convey emotions and reflections on what I see as the human odyssey, inviting viewers to connect intuitively with the life experiences ... More
HAMBURG.- With American Cycles, the Temporary House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg (PHOXXI) has unveiled the first large-scale institutional solo exhibition dedicated to Mexican-American photographer Philip Montgomery—a powerful, unsettling, and timely portrait of the United States in the 21st century. Featuring around 110 works created between 2014 and today, the exhibition plunges viewers into a decade marked by political unrest, climate-driven disasters, social upheaval, and the enduring question of how communities survive fragmentation. Montgomery’s stark black-and-white photographs will be familiar to readers of The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, where his images have become hallmarks of contemporary photojournalism. Yet inside PHOXXI, freed from the constraints of the printed page, these photographs radiate an even more visceral intensity. The exhibition, curated by Nadine Isabelle Henrich, is not arranged chronologically. Instead, ... More

PARIS.- Following the major retrospective dedicated to Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) at the Centre Pompidou, Paris last year, Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais presents a selection of the Romanian artist’s photographic work, spanning 1906 to 1938. Brancusi’s photography was an integral part of his artistic practice and evolved alongside his sculpture from early in his career. In 1956, he bequeathed his entire studio to the French State, including a number of his photographs, which were notably the subject of a focused exhibition running alongside the artist’s first retrospective in France, also held at the Centre Pompidou in 1995. Crystallising his artistic vision, photography was essential to Brancusi’s practice. The artist began experimenting with the medium following his arrival in Paris in 1904, whereupon he immersed himself in the contemporaneous photographic and cinematographic ... More

SEOUL.- Atelier Hermès is presenting Daniel Steegmann Mangrané’s first solo exhibition in South Korea, “Befriending the Mountains”, on view from November 28, 2025 to March 8, 2026. The Barcelona-born artist works with a wide range of media—including drawing, photography, film, sculpture, and installation—with a subtle, poetic sensibility. His practice explores the complex relationship between nature and culture by drawing on biology and contemporary anthropological discourses. Nature has always been so close to us that it’s impossible to separate it from our life and art, yet the question of how we perceive and engage with nature continues to offer a multitude of answers. Daniel Steegmann Mangrané, who has expressed his lifelong interest in and deep affection for nature through a subtle, poetic visual language, is acclaimed especially for evoking a unique sense of immersion in his exhibitions. His exhibitions are remarkable not only for their aesthetic ... More
Shield. Équateur, RD Congo. s.d. Wood, plant fiber. Gift from the Royal Museums of Art and History, 1912. EO.0.0.7935.
BRUSSELS.- On 28 November 2025, the AfricaMuseum opened The Congo Panorama 1913. Colonial illusion exposed. Through the participation of artists, experts, and researchers, the exhibition juxtaposes colonial imagery with historical and contemporary voices, stories, and insights that long remained silent. By inviting you to take a closer look, the exhibition opens a broader conversation about propaganda, colonisation, and the long shadow it casts. The exhibition centres on the Congo Panorama, the main attraction of the Belgian colonial section in the 1913 Ghent World Exhibition. This immersive attractionwas meant to convince visitors of the supposed ‘benefits’ Belgium brought to Congo through its purportedly ‘civilising’ mission. Acts of violence by Europeans, forced labour, and Congolese resistance were deliberately omitted – an early form of what we now call ‘fake news’. More than a century later, using a smaller scale reproduction of the painting, the ... More
The audiovisual work, produced by INAH, documents recent research on submerged cultural heritage.
MEXICO CITY.- Audiences at the National Museum of Anthropology were taken on an underwater journey into the deep Pacific this week, plunging nearly 40 meters below the surface without ever leaving their seats. The occasion was the premiere of In Search of the Shipwrecks of Baja California, a new documentary that uncovers the stories behind the vessels that met their end along the rugged coastline of the Baja California peninsula. Produced by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in collaboration with its Subdirectorate of Underwater Archaeology (SAS), the film is part of a larger research project aimed at cataloging 19th- and 20th-century shipwrecks scattered across the Mexican Pacific. Led by underwater archaeologist Mariana Piña Cetina, the initiative seeks not only to document these sites but also to protect them and share their history with the public.

Ultra Regio explores borders in flux through eleven artists shaping a world in transition BIRSFELDEN.- At its core, the group exhibition Ultra Regio embodies a productive dissonance, confronting regional intimacy while transcending it. The title combines two movements: Ultra, in the colloquial sense of extreme – the utmost regional, radically local, a deliberate grounding in the here and now – and, in its Latin origin, ultra evokes going beyond, the other, the unbounded. City SALTS, a former butcher’s, a garden by the river, and an art space nestled among residential buildings at the city’s edge on the cantonal border, has for sixteen years invited artists to actively engage with their immediate surroundings. Its permeable architecture – largely outdoors, without a covered foyer or corridors – ensures that inside and outside remain in constant, almost inevitable dialogue. Against this backdrop, Ultra Regio understands the region not as an administrative space but as ... More
Researchers trace ancient Maya beliefs linking caves, cenotes, and the underworld MEXICO CITY.- For centuries, Maya communities have viewed caves and cenotes not simply as geological formations, but as sacred portals—a threshold between the world of the living and the vast, mysterious underworld known as Xibalbá. Now, new archaeological research is shedding light on when and how this powerful connection first emerged in Maya cosmology. During a recent session of the Seminar on Anthropology and Applied Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), underwater archaeologist Carmen Rojas Sandoval, from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in Quintana Roo, presented fresh findings that trace the deep roots of funerary practices in the flooded caves of the Yucatán Peninsula. Rojas’s lecture, Funerary Treatments in Caves and Cenotes of Tulum, emphasized that while scholars have long ... More
Golden Repair examines how art confronts fracture, trauma, and the urgent need to rebuild BUDAPEST.- The desire to make the world a better place is as old as humanity. Repair, restoration, and renovation can be both symbolic and practical gestures manifested in the form of individual as well as social responsibility. The essence of the Japanese ‘golden repair’ method, chosen as the title of the exhibition, is highlighting the cracks of broken objects, preserving the imperfections, embracing the damage rather than concealing it. Kintsugi is also a unique approach and attitude towards the world, which goes beyond the material dimension and can be applied to our relationships, society, poorly functioning economic and political systems, and the fragmented state of our world. The exhibition Golden Repair is the sequel in a long-term curatorial venture that began in 2023 with the exhibition Handle with Care. It explores the themes of healing and repair in a broad sense, ... More

Daniela Ortiz confronts food monopolies and imperial legacies in provocative solo show BERN.- Kunsthalle Bern opened the solo exhibition of Peruvian artist Daniela Oritz. For her exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern, Ortiz is addressing director iLiana Fokianaki’s overall enquiry into the Plantacionocene as a locus from which we can further understand the intersections of social and environmental justice. With A Drop of Milk, Ortiz presents a new body of work that discusses the violence inflicted on the global majority's territories, people, fauna, and flora, through the rationing, control or over-production of certain foods, by the agricultural industries.

It situates hunger within a planetary system in which food is no longer primarily cultivated and shared, but instead monitored, withheld, ... More
