MALMO.- Beginning in the late 1960s, Catherine Christer Hennix (1948–2023) developed a singular, interdisciplinary practice that placed sound at its center. Best known for her long-duration compositions, she integrated music, mathematics, philosophy, language, and visual forms in work that exceeds the bounds of any single medium, unfolding instead as an integrated inquiry into structure, perception, and knowledge itself. Born in Stockholm, Hennix was immersed from an early age in the city’s experimental music and art scenes. While she performed as a jazz drummer, she studied biology and linguistics before turning to philosophy and mathematical logic. As one of the initial members of Elektronmusikstudion (EMS), she created text-sound compositions alongside more wellknown figures like Åke Hodell and Sten Hanson. In 1968, she traveled to New York, where encounters with John Cage, Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, and Walter De Maria deepened her interest in the downtown art scene. Meetings ... More

Iván Navarro, Light Years, TEMPLON New York, 2026. Photo © Charles Roussel.

NEW YORK, NY.- Templon New York presents Iván Navarro: Light Years, a chronological overview of the artist’s work from 2004 onward. Conceived as an anniversary exhibition, Light Years marks a double milestone: the gallery’s 60th anniversary and over twenty years of collaboration with Iván Navarro. The exhibition is structured around three foundational works that function as conceptual vehicles: Landless Land (2023), Flashlight: I’m Not From Here, I’m Not From There (2006), and Resistance (2009). Envisioned as electrically animated sculptures activated through movement and video performance, these works form the core of Navarro’s practice. Their titles—borrowed from electrical terminology—ground metaphor in material reality and signal the artist’s strategy of diverting utilitarian objects into political and existential instruments. The exhibition begins with Landess Land, a 2023 silent reprise of the original 2004-2005 work Homeless Lamp, The Juice Sucker, now i ... More

LONDON.- The first major UK survey of work by leading Chinese artist Yin Xiuzhen, Heart to Heart invites visitors to step into her spellbinding world. Spanning the entire lower-level galleries, the exhibition brings together seminal projects from the past three decades, alongside new commissions and historic works reimagined for the space. Through large-scale installations made from everyday objects, industrial materials and used items of clothing, Heart to Heart invites us to see the familiar in new ways, revealing the personal and collective stories these overlooked items carry. Yin is a pioneering artist of her generation who first emerged on the contemporary Chinese art scene in the early 1990s. Like many of her contemporaries, her career developed at the same time as major cultural, economic and social changes in China. Observing the country’s fast economic growth, urbanisation and global integration, Yin was keen to explore how living in an increasingly connected world can impact ide ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art announced a presentation of paintings by William Leavitt for the Felix Art Fair 2026. A critical figure in the West Coast conceptual art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Leavitt’s multidisciplinary work includes paintings, works on paper, installations, and screenplays that assemble mysterious motifs and figures in environments that draw largely from the landscape and architecture of Southern California.

Flashback
On a day like today, German-American painter Hans Hofmann died
February 17, 1966. Hans Hofmann (March 21, 1880 - February 17, 1966) was a German-born American abstract expressionist painter. Hofmann's art work is distinguished by a rigorous concern with pictorial structure, spatial illusion, and color relationships. He was also heavily influenced in his later years by Henri Matisse's ideas about color and form. In this image: Hans Hofmann, The Lark, um 1960. Öl auf Leinwand, 152,7 x 133 cm.
