WINTER PARK, FL.-The Rollins Museum of Art unveiled The House that Freedoms Built, a monumental outdoor installation by internationally acclaimed artist La Vaughn Belle. From July 24, 2026 to January 3, 2027, on the Rollins College campus, the immersive work invites visitors into a space for reflection on the meaning of home, freedom, and belonging. Commissioned by Powerhouse Arts and first presented at the 2024 Smithsonian Design Triennial at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, The House that Freedoms Built is being exhibited for only the second time. Inspired by 18th-century homes built by formerly enslaved people on the island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, the installation features three white architectural structures adorned with intricate Caribbean fretwork patterns rooted in Caribbean architectural traditions. Together, they honor stories of resilience, creativity, and self-determination while exploring the enduring ... More

BUFFALO, NY.- Today the Buffalo AKG Art Museum announced the appointment of two leaders for the 164-year-old museum of modern and contemporary art: Chief Curator Cathleen Chaffee has been appointed Artistic Director, and Deputy Director Jillian Jones has been appointed Executive Director. They will begin serving in their new roles on November 1. The creation of the Executive Director and Artistic Director roles reflects the Buffalo AKG's evolution following the completion of its historic campus development project into a larger, more complex institution. Guided by two leaders with complementary expertise and a shared commitment to artistic excellence, operational strength, and public service, the museum is well positioned to deepen its artistic impact, strengthen civic impact, and build upon its growing national and international reputation. These appointments will coincide with the implementation later this year of a new strategic plan that positions the Buffalo ... More
MONACO.- From 3 July and for six months, the Nouveau Musée de Monaco dedicates the spaces in the Villa Paloma to a major figure in international Surrealism, Victor Brauner (1903–1966), a singular and special artist in the history of art, whose remarkable body of work remains to be discovered. For the very first time, “Victor Brauner, the Magical Adventure” reveals an exceptional private collection based in Monaco that encompasses the artist’s entire production from the 1920s to the 1960s, covering painting, drawing and sculpture. Serving as a counterpoint to more than one hundred and sixty works from this collection, ten non-Western objets d’art collected by Victor Brauner, on loan from the musée d’art moderne et contemporain de Saint-Étienne Métropole, are also on display. Victor Brauner’s work is at once original, erudite, highly inventive and full of humor. Drawing on his Romanian ... More

VENICE.- The Scala dei Giganti, a monumental marble staircase, is an iconic feature of the inner courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale. Built at the end of the 15th century (1486-1497) and designed by Antonio Rizzo, it is crowned with statues of Mars and Neptune by Jacopo Sansovino (1565). It once served as the entrance used by the Doge to access his private apartments and as a ceremonial entrance for receiving ambassadors visiting the Palace. Over the past forty years, the staircase has undergone two restoration campaigns. Even so, it continues to show signs of decay that experts don't yet fully understand. Several factors may be at play: materials used in earlier restorations, tiny airborne organisms that settle on the stone, and climate change. Save Venice and the Fondazione Save Venice – ETS, with generous support from The Gritti Palace, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice, are ... More
SURRY HILLS.- The Art Gallery of New South Wales invites visitors back into the world of iconic Australian artist Brett Whiteley with the reopening of the Brett Whiteley Studio on Saturday 25 July, following extensive building upgrades that preserve the spirit of one of Australia’s most significant artist’s studios. Located in Whiteley’s final home and studio in Surry Hills, the Brett Whiteley Studio offers an intimate and unfiltered encounter with the life and practice of Brett Whiteley (1939–1992), one of Australia’s most celebrated and influential artists, whose work continues to resonate nationally and internationally. Meticulously reinstalled with artworks, objects and ephemera as Whiteley left them, the Studio invites visitors to experience his art in the very place where it was made — an encounter unlike any traditional gallery setting. The complex renovation of the three-storey former warehouse was delivered by award-winning Australian architectural ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Hammer Museum announced today that the next edition of its critically acclaimed biennial Made in L.A. will be co-curated by Michael Wellen and José Luis Blondet. Wellen is the Chief Curator at the Hammer Museum, a position to which he was appointed in April 2026. He was previously the Senior Curator of International Art at Tate Modern. Blondet is a Senior Curator at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). Made in L.A. 2027 will be the eighth iteration of the biennial series that highlights the practices of artists working throughout the greater Los Angeles area, often recognizing the work of emerging and under-represented artists. Made in L.A. 2027 will open at the Hammer in the fall of 2027. Zoë Ryan, director of the Hammer Museum, said, “For more than a decade the Made in L.A. biennial has been a convergence point for artists in Los Angeles. I am excited to watch Michael and José Luis develop an exhibition that ... More
LONDON.- Autograph has received the entire photographic estate of Jamaican-British photographer Armet Francis – a major gift that brings over 70,000 of his images into the permanent collection of photography. For over forty years, Armet Francis’ mission in photography has been to document the African diaspora. As a Jamaican-British photographer with an acute understanding of black consciousness, his life-affirming images celebrate the resilience and survival of African diasporic cultures. Francis is now recognised as a pioneering figure in the photographic canon, best known for his social documentary, advertising and fashion images. Francis’ archive encapsulates fragmented experiences of Pan-African diasporic communities: his 1970s Brixton Market fashion shoots are playful and rare frames of black joy and celebration; his 2008 commemorative portraits of those who arrived on the HMT Empire Windrush in 1948 are critical interventions that gave names to the faces of those who journe ...

NEW HAVEN, CONN.- Since the earliest days of photography, the camera has been an essential tool for observing, recording, and transforming our understanding of the natural world. Landscape photography, in particular, has served as a powerful vehicle for examining ideas of beauty, nature, history, science, and society. Some images romanticize the land. Others expose the social and environmental impacts of modern life. In every case, landscape photography does more than document the world around us. It actively constructs it and shapes how we understand it, reinforcing or challenging dominant ways of thinking, knowing, and feeling. Sightlines: British Landscape Photography, 1840 to Now shines a light on the power of landscape photography by exploring how it has shaped the ways in which the natural world is seen and understood. The exhibition spans nearly two centuries ... More
LONDON.- This summer, Tate Modern showcases a new installation and large-scale participatory performance, orchestrated by internationally regarded artist and composer Lina Lapelytė (b.1984). Serendipity Island sees the museum’s world-renowned Turbine Hall transform into a giant maze-like stage for collective performances, inviting audiences to co-create a piece of mass choreography. The commission is presented as part of Tate Modern’s UNIQLO Tate Play series, the gallery’s free programme of commissions and art-inspired activities for all ages. Upon entering the installation, visitors are guided by ‘Conductors’ through one of six ‘scores’: a short set of instructions composed of simple directed actions, such as stomping, humming and swaying. They are then invited to enter a maze of specially designed wooden barriers, modelled after airport queue dividers, laid out in an intricate path across the Turbine Hall. Moving in a line through the barriers ... More
AMERSFOORT.- Mundo Mágico (magical world) is a tribute to the gallery’s program, which captures the imagination Mendes Wood DM in São Paulo, as seen through the lens of twelve of its artists. They present a world in which reality is given a slight twist, causing the experience of it to transcend direct observation and feel ‘magical.’ A world with a soul. Recurring themes include landscape, identity, memory, and mythology, approached from a personal, critical, and sometimes spiritual perspective. The exhibition gives a prominent place to Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato, a self-taught artist from Belo Horizonte who lived from 1900 to 1995. His vision of the landscape is quite distinctive: realistic, naïve, and evocative all at once, with a certain detachment that ensures it is never a literal representation. Lorenzato is an ‘artist’s artist.’ It was the artists at the gallery who drew the gallery owners’ attention to him. His work exemplifies the delicate style of painting ... More
Gladys Nilsson at the Crocker.
SACRAMENTO, CA.- The Crocker Art Museum is presenting Gleefully Askew: A Gladys Nilsson Retrospective, on view from July 19 through November 29, 2026. This landmark retrospective—the first devoted to Nilsson’s work—celebrates more than six decades of her raucously off-beat paintings, which are at once mischievous, exacting, and profoundly observant. Women tower, teeter, zigzag, and dance across Nilsson’s paintings. Limbs stretch, bodies bulge, and everyday life tips slightly off kilter. In Nilsson’s hands, the ordinary transforms into the delightfully absurd. “It’s Nilsson’s rare combination of familiarity and surprise—serious craftsmanship paired with riotous play—that defines her extraordinary career,” says exhibition curator Francesca Wilmott, PhD. “Just when we think we know Nilsson, she does the unexpected. With gleeful defiance, her work continually tests her limits, as well as ours.” Gleefully Askew brings together approximately 11 ... More

The 12th Hiroshima Art Prize: Mel Chin at Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art HIROSHIMA.- Hiroshima, the first city in the world to experience an atomic bombing, established the Hiroshima Art Prize in 1989 with the aim of conveying the “Spirit of Hiroshima”—the desire for lasting world peace and the prosperity of humankind—to the world through art. The prize has been awarded once every three years. The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art presents a commemorative exhibition for Mel Chin, recipient of the 12th Hiroshima Art Prize. Mel Chin (1951–) has developed ideas motivated by complex social issues, including environmental problems, and has expressed them through his own distinctive methods that transcend conventional artistic categories. His unique and wide-ranging body of work—from sculpture, drawing, painting, video, animation, and video games to large-scale public installations—has engaged audiences from diverse ... More
Studio Museum in Harlem announces fall 2026 season HARLEM, NY.- The Studio Museum in Harlem today announced the fall exhibitions that will close its inaugural year of programming, all of which builds upon the Museum’s ongoing commitment to showcasing a vast selection of works from its celebrated permanent collection, which today represents more than eight hundred artists. This objective, made possible because of the institution’s new 82,000-square-foot home that provides state-of-the-art galleries, commenced last November with From Now: A Collection in Context, a dynamic presentation of over three-hundred collection works. From Now was augmented by the publication Meaning Matter Memory: Selections from the Studio Museum in Harlem Collection, which highlights works by more than 260 artists. For the fall season, the Museum maintains its commitment to displaying its collection with Dreams ... More
Sirius Arts Centre presents comprehensive exhibition by Irish Traveler artist Leanne McDonagh CORK.- Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland, presents an exhibition by artist Leanne McDonagh, Community & Connection, her most comprehensive showcase to date. The exhibition has been organized through an extended period of engagement between McDonagh and curator Miguel Amado, director of Sirius Arts Centre, and features a newly commissioned series of screenprints alongside a broad selection of photographs made since 2011. McDonagh is part of the Traveler community, a group recognized as an ethnic minority by the Irish state that has historically been identified by its nomadic lifestyle and has continuously faced discrimination from the wider, settled population. As McDonagh became aware of outsiders’ distorted conceptions of Travelers, she dedicated her practice to recording their lives and heritage ... More
Trust for Governors Island seeks proposals to restore two historic buildings NEW YORK, NY.- The Trust for Governors Island released today a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the revitalization of two historic buildings on the Island, Building 324 and Building 330. The RFEI invites ideas from prospective partners for the revitalization of these historic assets, bringing them back into active, year-round use. The Trust is seeking responses that propose arts and cultural, recreational, or other public-facing uses. The two adjacent buildings are located within the Governors Island Historic District in an area becoming a major hub of activity and investment – steps away from one of the Island’s two primary ferry terminals at Yankee Pier, and adjacent to the future New York Climate Exchange campus. Originally constructed as a YMCA recreation center and a movie theater, respectively, the buildings feature soaring ceilings ... More
Ippodo Gallery debuts Japanese craft exhibition at Fine Arts Paris PARIS.- Ippodo Gallery debuts at Fine Arts Paris at Booth N25 in the historic Grand Palais from September 19–23, 2026. Quiet Metamorphosis: A Resurgence of Kogei highlights a timely revival of Japanese fine-art-craft. Drawing upon time-honored traditions, these most contemporary works evoke a visceral and meditative presence: this is a profound creative metamorphosis happening quietly in our time. In the nineteenth century, revolutionary Japonisme transfixed the landscape of French culture and Western art through flat perspective, vivid naturalism, and asymmetric composition. Japan’s contemporary masters honor artistic heritage whilst approaching their materials with a radically modern sensibility. Their creations bring ancient craft into the era of contemporary art. Under the majestic dome of the Grand Palais—the historic site of the World’s Fairs which ignited ... More
Hans P. Kraus Jr. presents summer exhibition of early water and maritime photography NEW YORK, NY.- Hans P. Kraus Jr. is presenting its summer show Untroubled Waters: Navigating Early Photographs through 20 August 2026. On display are primarily British and French works by William Henry Fox Talbot, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Nègre, Paul-Marcellin Berthier, Robert Howlett, J. B. Greene, and others depicting boatyards, bridges, the seashore, and other waterways. As a Cambridge man, it is not surprising that when William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) photographed in Cambridge he turned his camera on the Bridge of Sighs. The celebrated Bridge of Sighs over the River Cam had been completed in 1831, just a few years before Talbot’s photograph. Talbot’s use of light in this picture is exquisite. He timed his exposure for that brief period during the day while the ancient college buildings on the right were in deep shadow, bringing out the bridge ... More
Artist Octora examines colonial legacies and identity in new Jakarta show JAKARTA.- Gajah Gallery Jakarta presents Menamai | Naming, a solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Octora that examines how colonial systems of knowledge continue to shape contemporary ways of seeing. Through a new body of work encompassing photography, weaving, sculpture, and installation, the exhibition considers how acts of naming and representation continue to inform understandings of Indonesian cultural identity. The exhibition is informed in part by the artist’s early encounter with photographs related to the May 1998 anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, an experience that has become a lasting point of inquiry in her practice. Working with archival photographs and ethnographic records, Octora approaches the photograph as both historical document and constructed image. Images are cut apart, woven, and reassembled, interrupting the authority ... More

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, acquires Martin Barooshian's "Revelation" BOSTON, MASS.- The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Martin Barooshian Artwork Trust announced the MFA’s acquisition of Martin Barooshian's oil painting Revelation (1960), a landmark addition to its permanent collection. Among the earliest works from Barooshian’s mature period, Revelation shows his distinctive visual language coming fully into view: a vivid ever-shifting world of biomorphic forms, fantastical figures, symbolic imagery, layered patterns, and bold color. Revelation joins 36 Barooshian works on paper already at the MFA, deepening the museum's commitment to an artist whose full significance is only now receiving the institutional recognition it deserves. Revelation offers a vivid reminder that postwar American art was richer, stranger, and more alive than dominant narratives have long suggested. In place of the scale, gesture, and spectacle ... More
