VIENNA.- Kunsthalle Wien announces a major new exhibition by Ibrahim Mahama (b. 1987, Tamale, Ghana). Installed across the first floor of the Kunsthalle’s Museumsquartier building, the exhibition presents an entirely new body of commissioned work including sculpture, photography and video. Mahama draws upon the material legacy of colonialism, post-colonialism and industrialisation in Ghana. By collecting, preserving and creating access to objects, buildings and ephemera, his practice refers to histories that are inadequately documented. Mahama’s exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien develops his research on the history of the Ghanaian railway network, first created under British colonial rule during the 1890s. It sees the fulfillment of a long-term aspiration to deconstruct, transport and exhibit a full-size diesel locomotive (one of several British- and German-built trains that Mahama has acquired since 2022). Initially constructed to connect the south of the Gold Coast (now Ghana) with othe ... More

LONDON.- More than Human, the first major museum exhibition on more-than-human design, opens at the Design Museum this week, showcasing works by renowned artists and leading design changemakers to set a new direction for design based on humanity’s collaboration with the living world. More than Human refers to a growing design movement that questions the human-centric lens that has defined Western design practice and embraces the idea that the flourishing of all species is interconnected. More-than-human design calls for focused attention on the needs of environments and the species they host. Designers, architects and artists are increasingly directing their work towards the needs of non-human species. Their approaches range from the sharing of ancient knowledge to the design of new habitats and, ultimately, the shifting of perspectives. Highlights include major new commissions by four designers who were supported with research fellowships ... More

LONDON.- In March 2026, the V&A will open the first exhibition ever staged in the UK devoted to Schiaparelli. Spanning the 1920s to the present day, the exhibition charts the history and impact of one of the 20th century’s most innovative fashion designers, Elsa Schiaparelli. The show will trace the origins of the house, from its first, paradigm-shifting garments, through to its present-day incarnation in the hands of its creative director, Daniel Roseberry. Featuring new research undertaken by art and fashion curators focused on the creative collaborations and output of founder Elsa Schiaparelli, the exhibition places her at the nexus of innovation, a key figure within a stellar sphere of fashion, art and performance which spanned the cities of Paris, London, and New York in the years between the two world wars and up to her retirement in 1954. It will highlight the history of a female entrepreneur ... More
The Kid (First National, 1921). Very Fine- on Linen. One Sheet (27" X 41") Standing Style.
DALLAS, TX.- Going to the movies has always been about a fleeting, shared experience. Audiences once had a narrow window — maybe a week or two — to catch a film before the reels moved on to the next town. The movie’s advertising posters that drew them in were rarely saved, quickly replaced by the next “Coming Soon.” “These posters were viewed as ephemeral, disposable things,” says Zach Pogemiller, Heritage’s Associate Director of Movie Posters. “Once a movie left the theater, the poster was at the end of its lifespan.” But in more recent years, movie posters have become collector favorites, and Heritage’s July 24–25 Movie Posters Signature® Auction offers an opportunity to rewind and explore valuable relics from horror, animation and even some of Gen X’s most beloved titles, as well as a look into movie promotion history. “The posters we deal in are cultural artifacts, offering a window into how films were promoted and ...

Lars Fredrikson.
MALMÖ.- Lars Fredrikson (1926–1997) is largely unknown outside France today but in the 1960s and ’70s he was a pioneer with his experimental investigations of space. This exhibition presents his extensive artistic oeuvre, which encompasses drawing, painting, graphics and sculpture. Lars Fredrikson was born in Stockholm and studied chemistry and electronics as a young man. At the same time he became interested in painting and how to use art to explore issues of time and space in other ways. He was inspired early on by Eastern philosophy and Zen Buddhism, attended art school in Paris for a while, and settled permanently in France in 1960. Technology and art are two key aspects of his artistic oeuvre. He invented and developed his own techniques to create works that challenge us in various ways. In the period from 1965 to ’68, in the borderland between painting and sculpture, he produced a series of tactile kinetic works in which the white canvas is pushed out and becomes ... More

ISTANBUL.- The 18th Istanbul Biennial unfolds across a constellation of eight venues throughout the Beyoglu district, inviting visitors to experience it entirely on foot. Having announced its title as The Three-Legged Cat and its three-year structure with curator Christine Tohmé, the 18th Istanbul Biennial proceeds to unveil the venues it will inhabit during its first leg, scheduled from September 20 to November 23, 2025. With no fixed venue, the Istanbul Biennial reinvents its relationship to the city with each new edition. The 18th edition continues this tradition and further underscores it, foregrounding the spatial and political relationship that the venues continue to forge with the city at large. A familiar destination for Istanbul Biennial visitors, Galata Greek School re-joins the biennial venues after undergoing a comprehensive restoration between 2019 and 2024. Located in Karaköy, the school was originally built in 1885, serving generations of students from 1910 until its ... More

SOUTHAMPTON, NY.- Eli Klein Gallery presents new works by Quan Wenfei, an interdisciplinary conceptual artist whose exploration of digital nostalgia takes tactile form here in oil and silkscreen on canvas. Deeply inspired by gaming culture and the nostalgia of 1990s computer card games, Wenfei’s practice explores contemporary expressions of digital nostalgia. The exhibition will showcase her Click and Win series, inspired by the classic 1990s Windows game Solitaire, a touchstone for many who grew up clicking cards across glowing screens, capturing the excitement of small victories in a rapidly digitizing world, at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair in 2025. Wenfei represents and reorganizes internet imagery, aspiring to be the ultimate “sky-cam,” observing how our aesthetics have been digitally trained. Wenfei continually investigates the concept of “selective looking,” a unique methodology drawn from her internet experience and ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts awarded grants to 51 visual arts organizations across the country and in Puerto Rico. These grants will support programs that foster creative experimentation and respond to the evolving needs of artists. Fifteen are first-time grantees. The total for the Spring 2025 grant cycle is $4.3 million. This follows the recent collaborative contribution of $800,000 with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation to organizations whose NEA funding was abruptly cut earlier this year. “The Spring 2025 grant cycle occurs amidst reductions in federal funding for the arts and humanities and new requirements for cultural production to align with executive orders and the administration’s priorities,” says Joel Wachs, President of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, “We have observed – and applaud – arts organizations across the country continuing ...

RA'ANANA.- The Open University of Israel will present PostHum Condition: A Tribute to Guernica, a powerful new media installation by French-Israeli artist Michel Platnic. Curated by Prof. Hava Aldouby and Carmit Blumensohn, the exhibition offers a powerful reflection on human fragility at the intersection of war, technology, and memory. In this immersive, low-tech–meets–high-concept environment, Platnic reimagines Picasso’s iconic Guernica through eight video works and six sculptural objects, four of them robotically activated when visitors approach. The artist extracts individual figures from Picasso’s composition — a lifeless baby, a horse neighing in agony, a woman in despair, a small bird in pain and a tiny flower. By figures and objects from the composition, the artist grants each a space of individuality in which to subtly convey their helplessness and despair. The flower, in turn, speaks of hope in the midst of horror. Combining robotics, ... More
NEW YORK, NY.-Chromotherapia: Feel-Good Color Photography (Damiani Books, 2025) offers relief through the power of color. Not always taken seriously, color photography has enabled artists to get out their palettes and “paint,” freeing themselves to explore the imaginary and to flirt with the worlds of Surrealism and Pop. Edited by famed Italian visual artist Maurizio Cattelan and curator Sam Stourdzé, the book offers a rereading of the history of color photography through the 20th century into the 21st—a journey into vibrant, saturated worlds of sunny yellow, azure blue, bright red, bubbly orange and more, straight from the lenses of the biggest names in color photography. Chromotherapia features the photographic work of Miles Aldridge, Erwin Blumenfeld, Guy Bourdin, Juno ... More

Maja Bernvill designs the new Misshumasshu restaurant in Stockholm STOCKHOLM.- The transformation of the historic Birger Jarl Passage brings it into a new era. As Misshumasshu reopens in its new, large-scale incarnation, it does so in a setting where architecture and gastronomy engage with the weight of the site’s history. Architect Maja Bernvill is behind the new design of the restaurant. Spanning 800 square meters with six-meter-high ceilings and a daylight roof as a central feature, Misshumasshu is now famed in red. Through this powerful color and sculptural gestures, the restaurant is anchored in the historic arcade – while Bernvill infuses it with a contemporary sensibility. “It’s a generous setting — one that welcomes return visits, in any season, at any hour. We embrace deep red tones as a unifying link between Japanese and Swedish culture. I think of Japanese lacquerware and Dala horses, Falu red and Japanese temples,” says Maja ... More
