MUNICH.- Ancestral Futures, the largest exhibition to be staged in Germany by the international, multidisciplinary artist Tomás Saraceno, brings insights from across the fields of natural sciences, architecture and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), integrating intergenerational practices and beliefs that foster reciprocal relation between human and more-than-human communities. It opened at Haus der Kunst in Munich on 17 July 2026. Inspired by the thought of the Indigenous Brazilian philosopher Ailton Krenak, the future is nothing we need to invent—it is already here, woven into the landscape like a river. Saraceno rethinks connections with the environment through his works to engage with other forms of life, and to imagine eco-social ways of living together on Earth. Tracing the unique journey throughout Saraceno’s multidisciplinary practice, the exhibition connects large-scale immersive installations, drawn from his research and collaboration with human and more-than-human comm ...

LONDON.- Declaring independence: USA 250 brings together four objects with interconnected histories around the American Revolutionary War. These diplomatic gifts shaped alliances and cross-cultural relations between the three main powers involved in the conflict – the Revolutionaries, Great Britain and Indigenous North American Nations. Three objects from the British Museum collection are presented alongside a ceremonial copy of the Declaration of Independence, on loan from West Sussex Record Office, arriving halfway through the display's run. The Sussex Declaration is a handwritten copy produced on sheepskin parchment. It is the only handwritten ceremonial copy to exist alongside the original manuscript – the Matlack Declaration – held at the National Archives in Washington DC. At the core of the display is the Washington Peace Medal, an object that passed through the hands of all three parties involved in the war. Engraved by Paul Revere in 1777, the medal was ... More
Ancient Egypt: magic and medicine is part of the British Museum in your classroom programme, developed in partnership with The Egypt Centre.
SWANSEA.- An ancient Egyptian hieroglyph-inscribed stone traveled to Swansea as part of the Ancient Egypt: magic and medicine display at The Egypt Centre. The stone or stela (known as a cippus) is on display as part of a special collaborative project between the British Museum and The Egypt Centre. The cippus was a magical artefact, believed to protect people from dangers posed by animals such as lions and crocodiles. The protection was achieved by reciting spells inscribed on the back of the cippus, often before setting out on journeys through the desert or on the water. On the cippus's front, the young god Horus is shown triumphing over these threats. He stands on crocodiles and grasps other desert creatures – such as a lion, an oryx, snakes, and scorpions – in his hands. Above him appears the face of Bes, a protective deity especially associated with safeguarding at home. ... More
Archaeologist Daniel Salazar Lama presented the results of the mural’s documentation and digital analysis.
CAMPECHE.- A fragmentary mural hidden within one of Calakmul’s monumental structures has provided researchers with what may be one of the earliest known representations of Juun Ajaw, a mythical hero deeply rooted in ancient Maya tradition. Archaeologist Daniel Salazar Lama presented the results of three years of research into the painting during a lecture held on July 17, 2026, at the Museum of Maya Architecture in Campeche. The mural, preserved inside Structure II at Calakmul, is currently considered the oldest pictorial remains documented at the ancient Maya city. Although only traces of the original composition survive, digital technology has allowed researchers to recover much of the scene and examine how it once functioned within its architectural setting. Using photogrammetry, digitized drawing and virtual architectural modeling, Salazar Lama and his team created a detailed ... More
Headlined by the legendary 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, chassis 003, one of just five examples ever built and estimated at $11,000,000 - $13,000,000.
BLENHEIM.- Some cars are collectible. Others become legends. The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport belongs in a category of its own. RM Sotheby's is proud to announce the offering of Grand Sport, chassis 003, at Monterey, one of the most important American competition cars ever created. One of just five Grand Sports built—and the first of only three coupes—it represents Chevrolet's boldest racing ambition and remains the most coveted Corvette ever produced. The result was astonishing. At roughly 1,900 pounds—nearly 1,300 pounds lighter than a production Corvette—the Grand Sport became one of the most radical racing cars America had ever produced. "The Grand Sport occupies a place reserved for only the rarest automobiles," said Gord Duff, President, RM Sotheby's. "Its rarity, engineering, and enduring mystique have elevated it beyond the world of Corvettes. Cars of this stature belong in the world's finest collections, and opportunities to acquire one are excep ... More
Lee Mullican Untitled, 1960 Terra cotta 5 1/2 x 5 x 3 1/2 inches.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art is presenting Lee Mullican: Silent Shades, an exhibition centered on the paintings created during the artist's Guggenheim year in Rome, together with a selection of terracotta sculptures produced shortly thereafter. The exhibition examines a key moment in the artist’s career when his interests in automatism and ancient cultures coalesced into a powerful new visual language. Lee Mullican, along with Wolfgang Paalen and Gordon Onslow Ford, was a founding member of the Dynaton, a group that sought to bridge European Surrealism and emerging forms of American abstraction. Named after the Greek word for “the possible,” the Dynaton explored consciousness, mysticism, and the visual expression of forces beyond ordinary perception. While Mullican remained committed to these ideas throughout his life, the year he spent working in Rome marked a significant turning point in his practice. Working from a studio in a sixteenth-century palazzo, Mullican absorbed the ... More
ESSEN.- Museum Folkwang is dedicating a major retrospective – I, Gustave Courbet. Painter and Rebel – to one of the most influential artists of the 19th century. This major exhibition is being held from 17 July to 8 November 2026. The Essen exhibition focuses on Gustave Courbet’s (1819–1877) influence on modern art. Courbet was not only an artistic innovator, but also a lively and politically engaged figure. He rejected the idealised aesthetics of his time and instead depicted the lives of ordinary people and social reality in his art. Courbet viewed painting as a form of resistance: his approach to traditional pictorial genres and his painting technique, which often allows the material presence of the paint to shine through, make him one of the most important exponents of realism. Courbet grew to became a role model for subsequent generations of artists far beyond France’s borders. The extensive exhibition in Essen features around 90 works by ... More
Installation view of Alex Hubbard Abstract or Regular? Regen Projects, Los Angeles July 11–August 15, 2026.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Regen Projects is presenting Abstract or Regular?, an exhibition of new video work and a painting by Alex Hubbard. The show includes six larger than life animations projected onto wooden constructions cut to the shape of their subjects, ranging from cartoon characters to an electrocuted pickle. These works demonstrate Hubbard’s solution to the self-imposed challenge of presenting motion within a fixed object—a physical constraint he contests in works where animated movements push beyond the confines of the custom “screen.” Here Hubbard investigates the structures and systems of art and exhibition by stretching, bending, and expanding the perceived boundaries between painting, sculpture, film, and performance. With this body of work, Hubbard works against the ubiquitous glossy perfection of AI generated imagery and digital fabrication. These animations are sourced from the everyday, ... More
Alfredo Ramos Martínez (1871-1946), La Profeta (The Prophet), c. 1943. Pastel and tempera on newsprint (El Universal, June 6, 1943) 23 3/4 x 18 1/4 inches; 60.3 x 46.4 cm.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA.- Louis Stern Fine Arts is presenting Cordillera Mexicana, an exhibition of works by Alfredo Ramos Martínez (1871-1946) that highlights the artist’s profound connection to his homeland. From his earliest days, Ramos Martínez turned to nature for the inspiration that fueled a lengthy and fruitful career as an educator and artist. His earliest teacher, he would later recall, was the orange tree that grew on the patio of his childhood home in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Its tranquil beauty sparked the young artist’s passion for reverently capturing the landscapes and people of Mexico, a conviction he would impart on the students at his revolutionary open-air schools. Ramos Martínez’s pupils, who included David Alfaro Siqueiros and Rufino Tamayo, painted outdoors at his urging. Embracing the rich history and ... More
Almost Sky: Jun Aoki ＋ Richard Tuttle, Exhibition Model. Photo: ToLoLo studio.
TOKYO.- Almost Sky is a two-person exhibition at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery featuring works by Jun Aoki and Richard Tuttle, curated by Yoko Nose. An accompanying exhibition catalog will be published by limArt on September 11, 2026. In Almost Sky, an exhibition that emerged through conversations between architect Jun Aoki and artist Richard Tuttle, visitors are encouraged to look upwards as if gazing at the sky. The kanji character for “sky” can also be read as “emptiness”, but here it does not signify a void of nothingness but rather a place full of light and shadow and atmosphere that is rich in subtle changes. For Aoki, architecture is “air”, the creation of free spaces that accommodate individuals’ differing values and speeds. For Tuttle, works of art are “light”, a medium for sharing with others the truth, beauty, and fulfilment captured in an instant. The fusion of architecture and art ─ which can be likened to the air and light that fi ... More
Panoramic view of the Yaakun cenote, PDC Gustavo García SAS-INAH.
PLAYA DEL CARMEN.- Deep beneath the clear waters of Cenote Yaakun, underwater archaeologists are documenting the skeletal remains of a young woman who may have lived in the region centuries ago. The local custodians of the site have named her Yatzil, a Maya name meaning “beloved person,” inspired by the cenote’s own name, Yaakun, which translates as “to love.” The remains are at the center of a newly established research project led by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, or INAH. The initiative seeks to document and protect Yatzil, along with pottery and other archaeological materials lying at depths of more than 40 meters beneath the surface. Mexico’s Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curiel de Icaza, said the discovery demonstrates the importance of cooperation between researchers and local communities in protecting archaeological heritage. “Every archaeological discovery that we are able to ...

MTA Arts & Design unveils cosmic mosaic by Long Island artist Karen Arm at New Yaphank-BNL Station NEW YORK, NY.- MTA Arts & Design announces the installation of a new permanent mosaic artwork at the newly constructed Yaphank-BNL Station on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Greenport Branch. Created by artist Karen Arm, Initium (beginning), greets riders in the station plaza with a radiant depiction of a globular cluster — evoking the mystery of deep space and the processes of formation, transformation, and energy that shape the natural world. The station’s new location puts it closer to Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), a world-renowned research center for physics, energy science, and the fundamental nature of matter. Initium (beginning) was conceived as an artistic counterpart to that scientific work. Where BNL scientists investigate the universe at the scale of particles and phenomena invisible to the human eye, Arm’s mosaic ... More

MoMI and MUBI partner on slasher cinema exhibition in New York ASTORIA, NY.- Museum of the Moving Image and MUBI will present an exhibition of material related to Jane Schoenbrun’s highly anticipated new film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma at the Museum starting July 30, in advance of the film’s theatrical release on August 7. In Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a meta exploration of the slasher film genre, a queer filmmaker (Hannah Einbinder) is tasked with resurrecting a 1980s/’90s-era horror franchise about supernatural murders at a sleepaway camp, and seeks out the film's original, reclusive "final girl" (Gillian Anderson) for inspiration. The Museum exhibition, Reframing the Slasher: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, will pair screen-used props from the fictional Camp Miasma franchise—VHS tapes, posters, merchandise, and a costume—with a series of movie posters selected by Schoenbrun, ...

Hood Museum of Art to unveil new bronze version of public art sculpture by Ursula von Rydingsvard HANOVER, NH.- A public art favorite will return to Dartmouth’s campus in a new medium later this summer when the Hood Museum of Art installs a bronze version of artist Ursula von Rydingsvard’s sculpture Wide Babelki Bowl (2007). The bronze edition was created from a cast of the original cedar sculpture and will be placed in front of Rollins Chapel on Dartmouth’s campus, where the original sculpture stood. When it was initially donated to the museum by Jens and Margarit Jacobs in 2019, the sculpture had already spent nearly a decade outside their home in Woodstock, VT. The original Wide Babelki Bowl was crafted from cedar, classified as a softwood. Though it remained visually striking, the sculpture began to show signs of wear by 2023. As a result, Hood Museum staff brought members of von Rydingsvard’s studio to campus to assess the sculpture’s ... More
François Ghebaly presents 'Rapido', an exhibition of historic works by Alexis Smith LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly is presenting Rapido, an exhibition of historic works by artist Alexis Smith. Featuring an installation and works on paper dating from the 1970s, it brings together a group of rarely exhibited works from a formative period in the artist’s career. The exhibition is anchored by Rapido, Smith’s installation in which a model train travels continuously around the perimeter of an otherwise empty gallery. Exhibited here for the first time since its original installation at the UC Santa Barbara Art Galleries in 1975, Rapido reorients one’s sense of scale. The enclosed space of the gallery becomes a vast and barren landscape in which the viewer is an oversized interloper. Time and distance expand as the train makes its nonstop, lonely circuit around the gallery. While many of Smith’s installations incorporate collages, wall paintings, texts, ... More
Busan Biennale 2026 participating artists: Dissident Chorus BUSAN.- Busan Biennale 2026 announces the full list of participating artists and collectives for Dissident Chorus, led by co-artistic directors Evelyn Simons and Amal Khalaf. Taking place across three venues in Busan, South Korea the 2026 edition brings together 46 artists and collectives from 22 countries. Set in Busan, a port city shaped by movement, labour, migration, maritime exchange, and histories of civic assembly, Dissident Chorus asks how sound can become a language of resistance and solidarity. Rooted in the belief that sound, like water, resists containment, the exhibition follows sonic and embodied practices as living forms of communication, healing, resistance, and relation. From work songs and protest songs to ritual rhythms, club sounds, and collective chants, sound has long organised bodies, carried memory, and opened spaces of solidarity when language is restricted or exhausted. At the same time, Dissident Chorus returns to ... More
Overbeck Gesellschaft presents Permeable Condensation LÜBECK.- Moving between visibility and disappearance, materiality and flux, Permeable Condensation brings together artistic positions that engage with water as both a physical substance and a carrier of social, political, and affective relations. As water shifts in form from solid to liquid and gas, this exhibition is dedicated to the states in-between: the moment when the invisible becomes visible, the transition from vapor to droplet, from absence to presence. Works by Eda Aslan, Hanne Darboven, Hans Haacke, Saodat Ismailova, and Helena Uambembe explore processes such as condensation, evaporation, and depletion, understood as expressions of this element that resists fixity of form. The title of the exhibition, Permeable Condensation, points to a paradox: condensation describes a process of densification, of becoming material, while permeability implies ... More
