CHARLOTTENLUND.- In this exhibition, artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Édouard Vuillard tempt the audience to step into the Parisian cafés in the decades around 1900. They became venues for artists, musicians, and poets, who would meet there to discuss art and broaden their networks whilst coffee, beer, wine, and absinth added sparkle to their conversation. Scandinavian artists, among them Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Edvard Munch, and Anders Zorn, also flocked to the French establishments to seek new acquaintances and inspiration. They depicted modern life, a motif adopted by avant-garde artists to replace the historical and mythological motifs that had hitherto defined art for centuries. The exhibition Café Society. Art and Sociability in Belle Époque Paris assembles a broad selection of paintings and works on paper that trace various aspects of café culture. Through works by artists such as Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, and Édouard Manet, the exhibition seeks to convey how artists both ... More

AUSTIN, TX.- The Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin has acquired the archive of Olivia de Havilland (1916–2020), the internationally renowned film star whose life and career helped define—and ultimately reshape—the Hollywood studio system.

SAO PAULO.- Nara Roesler São Paulo is presenting Tellurics, a group exhibition curated by Ana Carolina Ralston that brings together 16 artists to investigate the deep force of terrestrial matter and the visceral relationships between the human body and the body of the Earth. The exhibition is grounded in the concept of telluric imagination, inspired by philosopher Gaston Bachelard, to explore how art can excavate surfaces and touch what is most dense and vibrant in nature and technology. The show proposes a shift away from an ocular-centric gaze, inviting the public to a multisensory experience that engages smell, hearing, and tactility. As the curator states, “telluric imagination always digs deep, never content with surfaces.” In Tellurics, the Earth ceases to be a passive backdrop and becomes a protagonist and political actor, transforming our ways of inhabiting the world. The curatorial selection establishes a dialogue ... More
