NEW HAMBURG.- In the rich tapestry of Japanese textile art, few elements are as simultaneously ubiquitous and overlooked as the women's haori. This traditional jacket, worn over a kimono, has been a staple of Japanese women's attire since the early 20th century, yet has often been overshadowed by its more famous counterpart in both cultural discourse and artistic appreciation. "The Japanese Haori: An Avant-Garde Renaissance in Textile Art" seeks to rectify this oversight, shining a spotlight on the exquisite artistry and historical significance of women's haori from the early 20th century through the late Showa period. This comprehensive study presents a carefully curated collection spanning from 1912 to around 1980, offering a unique window into the evolving aesthetics, technologies, and social norms of 20th century Japan. The book explores how these garments served as canvases for an astonishing array of artistic techniques—from the subtle ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.-The Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden announces “Carlotta Corpron: Light Is a Plastic Medium,” a survey of work by the American abstract photographer and educator whose investigations into the poetics of light and form and innovative use of technology supported the establishment of photography as fine art.

Portrait Ashley Hans Scheirl. Photo: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wien.
VIENNA.- Radical, fluid, complex: In & Out of Painting* is Ashley Hans Scheirl’s first comprehensive museum show. The exhibition unfolds into a transdisciplinary cosmos of painting, installation, film, sound, text, and performance that uncompromisingly opposes binary classification systems and understands identity as a mutable, resistant realm of possibility. Ashley Hans Scheirl (b. 1956, Salzburg) has been systematically and radically transcending the boundaries of art, the body, and society for decades. As a defining voice of the queer-feminist avant-garde and trans* art, Scheirl addresses pivotal questions about media, genre, and gender with a great degree of formal freedom, subtle humor, and a critical perspective. This involves interweaving a wide variety of artistic genres to create an oeuvre that celebrates identity as a negotiable, processual framework of relationships. At the same time, Scheirl is aware of their own entanglement in what is now a seemingly surreal ... More
Jules Ferdinand Jacquemart, Tropical Plants. 1863. Baltimore Museum of Art, The George A. Lucas Collection.
BALTIMORE, MD.- The Baltimore Museum of Art opened Deconstructing Nature: Environmental Transformation in the Lucas Collection.

Featuring more than 50 exceptional works on paper drawn from the BMA’s George A. Lucas Collection, the exhibition foregrounds the intricate and poignant ways that artists rendered different environments—from resplendent forests and fields to the natural elements at the core of urban centers—and invites engagement with humanity’s impulses to both extract from and protect the environment. The exhibition will be on view through January 11, 2026. Deconstructing Nature is organized thematically, focusing on five specific environments and the ways artists explored them in their ... More

MILAN.- kaufmann repetto announces Ambienti Luminosi (“Luminous Environments), a monographic exhibition of Bruno Munari’s work curated by Luca Zaffarano and staged in collaboration with the Archivi Bruno Munari®. The exhibition aims to call attention to the artist’s more important experimental research, highlighting its spatial, cinematic and immersive aspects and groundbreaking nature. Right from the beginning Munari’s interest was focused on the creation of environmental interventions designed to probe in a radically innovative manner the dynamic encounter between space, movement and form, between light and color, between viewer and work. The exhibition in Milan presents an unprecedented dialogue between rare examples of his Useless Machines of the 1930s and ’40s and the Direct Projections and Polarized Light Projections of the 1950s, made available by the artist’s archives and rarely shown before. These “luminous environments” offer the ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Marian Goodman Gallery announced the U.S. representation of Edith Dekyndt. In her video, sculpture, installation, drawing, sound and performance, Dekyndt explores the natural and cultural phenomena of the world through a minimalist lens. Applying physical and chemical processes, Dekyndt brings forth the ephemerality of objects, images and sound to convey the transitory elements of time, light and space.

Taipei Biennial 2025 unveils highlights and opening program TAIPEI.- The 14th edition of the Taipei Biennial, Whispers on the Horizon is set to open on November 1 at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM). Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, directors of Hamburger Bahnhof—National Gallery of Contemporary Art in Berlin, the exhibition brings together 52 artists from 35 cities worldwide, featuring 33 newly commissioned works and site-specific installations. The exhibition explores the notion of yearning—not as nostalgia, but as a vital tension between the real and the desired. Rooted in Taiwan’s layered histories yet resonating across borders and cultures, this longing manifests as both a profoundly human impulse and a lens through which to interpret our present. Yet today, yearning takes on a new urgency: it becomes a collective pursuit for justice, recognition, and belonging in the face of erasure. This sense of urgency echoes ... More
Ayyam Gallery presents Elias Izoli's 'Inside Out '25,' a circus of life and survival DUBAI.- Ayyam Gallery presents Inside Out ‘25 an exhibition featuring Elias Izoli’s most recent body of work. After a long hiatus from painting, Izoli returns with a new body of work centered around the circus of life. A childhood fascination evolved into a profound reflection on the unpredictability and complexity of life as a Syrian citizen. In his latest series, Izoli uses the circus as a metaphor: its performers, from tightrope walkers to clowns and magicians, embody the tension between joy and survival. The circus and its family become a symbol of the broader social body, with each character representing the individuals who comprise the state's fabric. With concealed motives that slowly unravel under closer inspection, Izoli reveals an environment we, as spectators, have only observed from the outside. He invites us inside the fortress-like walls, offering a view from ... More
New Waddington Custot exhibition explores the art of Barry Flanagan LONDON.- Waddington Custot presents ‘Barry Flanagan: Two by Two’, an exhibition of bronze sculptures by one of Britain’s most distinctive and imaginative sculptors. Bringing together works made between 1983 and 2008, the exhibition explores the dialogue between paired animal forms, most notably the hare, for which Flanagan is best known. These dynamic pairings invite reflection on themes of duality, performance, and play. The exhibition also marks forty-five years since Flanagan’s first solo show at Waddington Custot (then Waddington Galleries) in 1980. Flanagan’s practice was shaped by a deep engagement with landscape, myth, and material. The seasons, ancient symbols, and local folklore – alongside an enduring interest in process – inflect his practice. From the 1980s onwards, Flanagan’s turn to bronze marked a new phase in his work, enabling a synthesis between ... More

Bettina Pousttchi sculpture installed at Istanbul Modern ISTANBUL.- The Buchmann Galerie announced the installation of Bettina Pousttchi's sculpture "Vertical Highways V02" in front of Istanbul Modern. The sculpture, made from transformed guardrails, has now entered the museum collection. Using overlooked elements of urban infrastructure such as highway guardrails, barricades, street poles, and bollards in her practice, the artist has created a 5,9-meter-tall sculpture whose dynamic form evokes the energy of Istanbul. The work takes its title from a series initiated with Pousttchi’s 2019 exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie. It was later created specifically for the "Unlimited" platform at Art Basel in 2024, curated by Giovanni Carmine, which brought together monumental installations, large-scale sculptures, and expansive video-photography works. A similar sculpture of the same color and scale has been on view since 2023 in front ... More
Sam Hamilton/Sam Tam Ham creates immersive installation for USF Contemporary Art Museum ST. PETERSBURG, FL.- Sam Hamilton/Sam Tam Ham (b. 1984, Auckland, New Zealand/Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa) created Te Moana Meridian as a vessel for proposing a radical new United Nations General Assembly Draft Resolution to formally relocate the prime meridian from Greenwich, London, to Te Moana-nui-ā-Kiwa/the South Pacific Ocean. Since its inception at an 1884 conference in Washington D.C., the prime meridian has functioned to implicitly serve the ambitions of the British colonial empire. Rather than serving as a "beacon of humanity," the prime meridian today more resembles a bygone imperial relic. As an original operatic performance and five-channel video installation, Te Moana Meridian proposes to elect a new "center of the world" while acknowledging that doing so has the potential to reframe the dynamics of global power.

NYU's Grey Art Museum celebrates June Leaf's decades-long career in new retrospective NEW YORK, NY.- NYU’s Grey Art Museum hosts the traveling exhibition, June Leaf: Shooting from the Heart, the first comprehensive retrospective of the artist June Leaf (1929–2024) in more than thirty years.

An artist, storyteller, dancer, and engineer, Leaf worked across genres, predominantly creating figurative paintings, drawings, and multimedia kinetic sculptures that the New York Times has described as “idiosyncratic and intuitive,” blending “expressionism and primitivism . . . with a childlike sense of play.” The sweeping ...

Carbon 12 opens group exhibition The Narrative of Decline DUBAI.- Decay has its own beauty, as Thomas Mann observes in his monumental work, The Magic Mountain. Andrea Roelig expands on this idea in her essay, "The Narrative of Decline": "We stand between death and life, and decline is dangerously enticing because it also carries an element of seduction." Like a rollercoaster ride—the feeling of weightlessness as it plunges downward, both terrifying and liberating. The French sociologist Roger Caillois calls this intoxicating state "Illinx," the dizziness that follows a loss of stability, order, and control. Social structures begin to falter, disorientation spreads. Illinx—an ecstatic panic that emerges when everything teeters on the brink, when certainty gives way to chaos and the course is not yet set. Creation in reverse—where there was once something, now there is to be nothing. This erosion of the given is fueled by the constant ... More
Historic timepieces from the Principality of Monaco: Patek Philippe and Cartier in the spotlight PARIS.- On October 15th, Artcurial will auction three exceptional timepieces: two complicated watches from Patek Philippe and a special commission by Cartier bearing the likeness of Prince Rainier III. These three watches, entrusted by the descendants of Pierre Rey – a close advisor to the Prince and a key figure of post-war Monaco – tell a chapter of Monaco’s history. Their exceptional provenance, rarity, and state of preservation place them among the most precious horological objects to have emerged on the market. The first watch, reference 1415, in rose gold with a pink “Pink on Pink” dial, embodies the discreet elegance and technical mastery of Patek Philippe in the production of complicated wristwatches.
