The tomb is located on the Cerro de la Cantera in San Pablo Huitzo, Oaxaca, and dates back to 600 AD.
MEXICO CITY.- Mexico has revealed what experts are already calling the most important archaeological discovery of the past decade: a Zapotec tomb dating back more than 1,400 years, to around 600 CE. The announcement was made on Friday morning during the daily presidential briefing by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who highlighted the exceptional state of preservation and the wealth of information the tomb offers about one of Mesoamerica’s great civilizations. “This is the most significant archaeological discovery of the last ten years in Mexico,” the president said, stressing that the find provides rare and direct insight into the social structure, beliefs, and ritual life of the Zapotec people. “It is powerful evidence of Mexico’s millennia-old cultural greatness.” The tomb was discovered in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, a region long recognized as the cradle of Zapotec civilization. What sets this find apart is not only its age, but the extraordinary survival of its archit ... More

Jean Dewasne, Antisculpture 'Untitled', ca. 1960. Glycerophtalic lacquer on PVC, motorcycle fairing, 110 x 65 x 44 cm. 43 1/2 x 25 1/2 x 17 1/2 in.
PARIS.-Almine Rech Paris, Matignon is presenting Jean Dewasne’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from January 10 to March 14, 2026. A major figure of the revival of geometric abstraction, in the 1950s Jean Dewasne established himself as one of the most daring artists of his generation. In post-war Paris, he conceived of pure geometry and colors as symbols of a new humanism underway, incorporating the scientific thinking and technological progress of the time. Although his early work followed in the footsteps of the pioneers of abstraction, he quickly asserted a resolutely new vision based on the use of industrial materials and a monumental approach to creation. After extensive studies in music, he attended the Beaux-Arts where he studied architecture, before turning to abstraction in 1943. Laureate of the Prix Kandinsky with Jean Deyrolle in 1946, later that year he became involved in the founding of the ... More
Exhibition view Magical Women.
METTINGEN.- Magical Women brings together artistic positions from the 20th and 21st centuries that engage with magic, the occult, and spiritual practices from feminist and decolonial perspectives. The exhibition examines how artists mobilize the magical as a means of questioning social norms, gendered power structures, and culturally embedded systems of belief. Figures such as witches, priestesses, seers, and ritual practitioners have shaped imaginaries of femininity across centuries and cultures. These figures oscillate between fascination and fear, empowerment and demonization. Historically, they have served as projection surfaces through which patriarchal societies defined deviance, otherness, and control. Magical Women addresses these ambivalences by foregrounding artistic practices that reclaim and reconfigure the symbolic charge of the magical. Long dismissed as superstition or as incompatible with rational modernity, spiritual and esoteric practices have nonetheless persisted within art as ... More
ZURICH.- On view this January at Hauser & Wirth’s Limmatstrasse gallery in Zurich is an exhibition of new sculptures, phosphorescent paintings and recent drawings by KOO JEONG A. The exhibition, titled KANGSE X, is derived from the Korean term KANGSE (meaning spatial strength) and is an extension of KOO JEONG A’s previous exhibition ‘ODORAMA CITIES’, presented at the Korean Pavilion for the 60th Venice Biennale, which originated from the artitst’s animation MYSTERIOUSSS (2017). KOO’s multifaceted practice encompasses drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, film, animation, augmented reality and architecture, combined with natural phenomena such as gravity, electromagnetic fields and phosphorescence to open up alternative realities in both a geographic and an astral sense. Coinciding with the artist’s solo exhibition ‘LAND OF OUSSS [GRAVITTA]’ ... More
LIVERPOOL.- Material dating back more than 200 years, from the time of George III and the Industrial Revolution, has been found during construction work in the quaysides of Liverpool’s Canning Dock. National Museums Liverpool’s archaeologists have collected fragments of pottery discovered by workers digging small test pits around Canning Dock. The items found include pieces of porcelain, potentially brought to Liverpool from Staffordshire for export, and locally-made tiles and pottery, which represent the history of the site and its global connections. Liverpool’s waterfront is largely reclaimed land with The Strand marking the original shoreline of the River Mersey. After the overwhelming success of the first dock, now known as the Old Dock, which opened in 1715, demand grew to expand the city’s maritime economy. From the 1750s onwards the large infrastructure of docks, for which Liverpool became well known globally, was built out into the river. ... More
METZ.- Fifty years after her last exhibition in France (1974) and thirty years after her death, the Centre Pompidou-Metz presents Louise Nevelson. Mrs. N’s Palace, the first retrospective of this magnitude in Europe devoted to the artist Louise Nevelson (Kyiv, 1899 – New York, 1988). This exhibition celebrates an artist whose legacy continues to resonate within the contemporary art scene as well as the world of fashion. Nevelson transformed twentieth-century sculpture into a total and immersive experience. Sometimes linked to Cubism, Constructivism, or the Dadaist and Surrealist practices of collage, her work extends far beyond these affiliations. If Jean Arp referred to Kurt Schwitters as his “imaginary grandfather,” Nevelson’s own artistic world encompasses a history of the arts ... More
GSTAAD.- Nahmad Contemporary will present PICASSO | PAINTER AND MODEL, Reflections by Naomi Campbell, on view at Tarmak22 in Gstaad, from February 14 through March 15, 2026. This exhibition brings together a selection of fourteen paintings from Picasso’s consequential late series Le Peintre et son modèle (The painter and his model). Painted between 1963 and 1965, this tightly curated group of works marks a pivotal moment of introspection and creative freedom at the end of Picasso’s career. Living at his final residence, Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, with his wife Jacqueline Roque during this period, Picasso turned to the act of painting as his primary subject matter. The canvases in this series depict variations of a single scene: an artist at his easel with a nude woman posing before him, perhaps symbolizing Picasso ... More
A joint exhibition of two artists who use ceramic sculpture to explore storytelling and spirituality.
RIDGEFIELD, CONN.- Chenlu Hou’s objects draw from her Chinese heritage, blending folklore, remembrance, and the layered experiences of diaspora and cultural hybridity. Chiara No creates chiming bells that personify idols, demons, and goddesses inspired by ancient, pagan, and Christian mythologies. Both artists make objects that suggest the potential for sound to invoke ceremony and shared histories across cultures and time. Chenlu Hou works across drawing, animation, and ceramic sculpture. Her vivid objects, ranging in scale from palm-sized to torso-sized, reference ancient Chinese folklore and ritual vessels, Buddhist and Taoist temples, and memories of home. Hand-built in terracotta using slabs of rolled clay, her forms are airbrushed in bright underglazes and patterned with handmade stencils, often ornamented with playful charms suspended from nylon zip-ties. Hou’s totemic forms and handheld rattles channel ... More
Dorr Bothwell, Memory Machine, 1947.
PASADENA, CA.- ArtCenter College of Design has received a $77,000 grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art in support of its upcoming exhibition, Dorr Bothwell: In Her Mind’s Eye. The grant will help fund exhibition development, presentation and related scholarly work for the first full survey of the artist’s work, opening October 15, 2026 at the College’s Williamson Gallery on its Hillside Campus. Dorr Bothwell: In Her Mind’s Eye examines the life and work of Dorr Bothwell (1902–2000), a California-born artist underrecognized for her role in shaping West Coast Surrealism. As the first full survey of her work, the exhibition presents paintings, works on paper, and ceramics spanning the 1930s to the 1980s. The project highlights her early narrative and dreamlike paintings alongside later, increasingly abstract works, including a robust series of screen prints inspired by the Western landscape. The project marks the fruition of nearly 20 years ... More
ULM.- Forty years after the explosion at Reactor 4 changed Europe forever, the name Chernobyl still carries a heavy echo. At Stadthaus Ulm, a new photography exhibition looks back at that moment—not as a closed chapter of history, but as an ongoing question about nature, humanity, and time itself. Running from January 24 to May 25, 2026, the exhibition brings together the work of seven international artists who have each approached Chernobyl from a different angle. What unites them is not spectacle, but attention: to what remains, to what has returned, and to what has been quietly erased. On April 26, 1986, a radioactive cloud from Chernobyl drifted across Europe. A 30-kilometer zone around the power plant was evacuated and sealed off. Cities like Pripyat emptied overnight. Schools, homes, and personal belongings were left behind, frozen in time. Decades later, nature has reclaimed the exclusion zone with a persistence that feels almost unsettling. This paradox ... More
Ricardo Favela (1944–2007), El Centro de Artistas Chicanos, 1975. Screenprint, 25 x 19 in. RCAFavela Collection.
SACRAMENTO, CA.- The Crocker Art Museum announces Rebels with La Causa: Royal Chicano Air Force Art and Activism, 1970–1990, on view from February 22 through June 28, 2026. This dynamic exhibition explores the seminal first two decades of work by the Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF), Sacramento’s influential multidisciplinary Chicano art collective that revolutionized the graphic arts and harnessed printmaking as a political tool. Blurring the boundaries between statement, announcement, and art print, RCAF prints and posters were not only works of art but vehicles for activism, community building, and cultural affirmation. "Rebels With La Causa offers an artistic survey of the range of aesthetics embodied by the RCAF as well as their mastery of screenprinting techniques and experimentation within graphic arts overall. The joining of bicultural (Mexican ... More
Norman Zammitt in his Los Angeles studio, c. 1977.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- A Degree of Light surveys two of Norman Zammitt’s most significant bodies of work: laminated-acrylic pole sculptures and the striated, abstract Band Paintings, whose shifting horizontal registers are the fullest realization of Zammitt’s quest to capture the way light and color interact in perception. The result of mathematical, formal, and spiritual inquiries, these series reflect his reverence for the skies of Los Angeles and New Mexico; his deployment of then-groundbreaking industrial and computer technologies; and his commitment to the poetics of experience. A Degree of Light draws connections from Zammitt’s early sculptural work to his Band Paintings, attesting to his lifelong dedication to “revealing, like hidden virtues, our metaphorical and spiritual world.” Both series evolved out of inventive techniques and ideas the artist developed during his initial engagement with plastic as a material for sculpture. Zammitt made his first such sculptures in 1964, ... More

Kunsthal Mechelen presents The sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire MECHELEN.- The sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire examines how people and communities grapple with the void left behind by futures long lost. Loaded with cultural references spanning multiple temporal and spatial geographies, the works on show explore the collision of personal and collective memories, and ways in which they continue to haunt the present—obstructing our ability to look forward. Amid hypernormalisation (1), fake news, polarisation, brainrot, state violence, live-streamed atrocities, and the overall devastating realities of our current era, we find ourselves lured into the quicksand of nostalgia—a “desire to live in a future to a past that history sliced off, leaving its scar.” (2) This pull toward the past takes the form of phantom nostalgia: a desire for something never experienced, or that existed only as a promise, yet which continues to exert ...

argos centre for audiovisual arts presents Becoming Ancestors BRUSSELS.- Becoming Ancestors is a collective exhibition that seeks to offer an expanded understanding of ancestrality. It brings together Western and Indigenous artists who explore ancestral memories: their fragmentation, repression, persistence and imaginative potential. Through their work, the artists ask what it means to be connected or disconnected from our ancestors, and how both experiences might serve as a starting point for imagining different futures. Historically, ancestrality has been closely tied to Indigenous cosmologies and how they look at memory, land and time as non-linear. Reclaiming it has been a vital part of their identity and resistance after centuries of dispossession. Western cultures have long been fascinated by this different form of knowledge production and transmission, because it challenges the very ideologies they have created ... More

Berlinde De Bruyckere explores the cyclical nature of suffering in San Gimignano SAN GIMIGNANO.- Galleria Continua hosts in San Gimignano one of the most powerful and widely recognized voices of the contemporary art scene, Berlinde De Bruyckere. For more than thirty years, the Belgian artist has established an oeuvre in which the body, often portrayed as a hybrid entity with human, animal and plant features, speaks the language of desire, suffering, and transformation. Her works are metaphorical images that convey horror and beauty, violence and tenderness, wounds and healing, generating an overwhelming sense of human connection. The exhibition presented in San Gimignano, titled Same Old, Same Old, brings together a substantial selection of drawings along with several sculptures from the early days of her artistic practice. Spanning her production from 1987 to the present, these works explore the human experience ... More

Inglfur Arnarsson begins a year-long architectural transformation at i8 Grandi REYKJAVÍK.- i8 Gallery announces … just a shell., a year-long exhibition by Ingólfur Arnarsson at i8 Grandi. The presentation opened on 22 January and will be on view until 22 December 2026. Arnarsson’s first exhibition with i8 Gallery, an untitled presentation of paintings, opened thirty years ago in January 1996. Throughout the year at i8 Grandi, the artist will make architectural modifications to the exhibition space through additions and alterations, while the inclusion of a set of drawings serves as a constant in each transformation. Arnarsson’s drawings are built up through layered crosshatching of hard-leaded pencil lines, creating a field of subtle irregularities. Continuously evolving with the addition of new works and interventions, each iteration will be accompanied by a new text by Lani Yamamoto. Arnarsson’s exhibition is the fifth year-long presentation ... More
Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer restores the tragic majesty of the unicorn NEW YORK, NY.- Sapar Contemporary announced their second solo exhibition of works by Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer (Italy). The Unicorn and Other Creatures of Hope is a new body of work where Ferrer turns her gaze to the unicorn — a creature whose mythology has traversed millennia, continents, and belief systems — as a vehicle for exploring ideas of liberty, captivity, purity, and transcendence. Drawing upon a decade-long fascination with The Unicorn Tapestries at The Met Cloisters, Ferrer reimagines the unicorn as a deeply spiritual being, a symbol both of sovereignty and sacrifice. The Unicorn continues Ferrer’s exploration of ritual, mythology, and the sacred. Her paintings reinterpret Christian iconography through a universal lens. Living and working in Tuscany, Ferrer engages deeply with the Christian and pagan mythologies that saturate ... More
Exhibition at OFFICE IMPART explores the shifting architecture of contemporary reality BERLIN.- Reality today emerges less as a stable foundation than as a shifting mix of infrastructures, codes, sensations, and temporalities that constantly reconfigure how the world is seen and understood. What we encounter as the real is produced through the constant process of multiple systems, technological, symbolic, and perceptual, that intersect and interfere with one another. Technical networks, data flows, media platforms, and algorithmic grids coexist alongside biological streams, social relations, and felt experiences, all together forming a dense and complicated field of overlapping layers. Although functioning somewhat independently, they require these complex networks to create a reality that is inherently unstable and alwaysst, present, and future. Within these conditions, reality becomes something that is mediated not only through what we see, hear, ... More
The National Pavilion of Syria announces artist, curator and concept DAMASCUS.- Sara Shamma will represent Syria at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (9 May – 22 November 2026).
