PARIS.- The Louvre has opened a new chapter in its history with the inauguration of the Gallery of the Five Continents, a redesigned exhibition space created in close collaboration with the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac. Located in the Denon Wing, the gallery proposes a radically open way of looking at art history—one that brings Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania into a shared conversation. The project arrives 25 years after the opening of the Pavillon des Sessions, launched in 2000 under President Jacques Chirac as a landmark statement on the equality of cultures. While that earlier initiative introduced non-Western masterpieces into the Louvre, the new gallery goes further. It abandons geographic and chronological silos in favor of dialogue—between objects, civilizations, and ideas that span continents and centuries. At the heart of the Gallery of the Five Continents are 130 major works drawn from the collections of the Louvre and ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- In 2005, Scott Schuman transformed fashion photography forever when he founded the blog The Sartorialist. The idea was simple: to open a dialogue between fashion and daily life, by shooting locals in public spaces. But in the lineage of Bill Cunningham and August Sander, that unpretentious, radical emphasis on “real people”—off the runway, out of the studio—elevated people-watching to an art and street style to high fashion, long before Instagram. In Milano, Schuman found a muse dressed for the task. Milano chronicles nearly twenty years of his devotion to the inimitable Milanese and their bustling, stylish city, first as a visitor, then as a local. Featuring a foreword by the late Giorgio Armani and an extensive interview unpacking Schuman’s unique approach to capturing fashion in the wild, the photos are so cinematically composed, it’s a wonder they were shot on the move. Schuman seems to pause Milano, not only ... More
Stephen Antonakos, Incomplete Circles, neon, 1975. Eight Artists, Eight Attitudes, Eight Greeks at the ICA in London.
ATHENS.- As part of its mission, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (EMΣT) seeks to cultivate creative practices of memory that resist the prevailing culture of amnesia toward the past. By revisiting pivotal moments in recent history and art history, the Museum highlights events that have shaped Greece’s contemporary cultural landscape. Within this framework, EMΣT presents a commemorative exhibition marking fifty years since the historically significant Greek Month in London, held between November and December 1975. The exhibition focuses on the visual arts programme of Greek Month, which featured two landmark shows: Four Painters of 20th Century Greece and Eight Artists, Eight Attitudes, Eight Greeks. These exhibitions were organized by the internationally acclaimed Greek curator Christos M. Joachimides (1932–2017) and Sir Norman Rosenthal, the distinguished ... More
Installation view.
PARIS.- For their sixth solo exhibition at Galerie Chantal Crousel, Puerto Rico–based artists Allora & Calzadilla navigate the porous boundary between the embodied, organic perception of living beings and technology’s typically externalized, digital, and therefore apparently “objective” measuring systems. Through paintings derived from seismic data and sensor- responsive glass sculptures, Allora & Calzadilla sound out what it means to sense in environments increasingly dominated by sensing technologies in the service of extractive logics. At the same time, their practice draws attention to the subtle, ofien ineffable textures of somatic experience—decentralized flows of emotion, intuition, and memory— hat remain irreducible to metrics. By foregrounding what challenges technical capture, engages viewers in the eco-poetic entanglements of material reality, destabilizing boundaries of quantified perception and illuminating the mysterious bonds of matter signal. In th ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Above the forest floor, a world of wonder awaits.

Discover Playful Tree Houses, where kids can push the boundaries of adventure; Hideaway Tree Houses that offer secluded ... More
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art will present Jay DeFeo: Space Exploration, the gallery’s fifth exhibition devoted to the work of the legendary artist. A key figure in the Bay Area Beat culture of the 1950s and a pioneering voice within postwar American art, Jay DeFeo (1929–1989) continues to inspire generations of artists through the extraordinary ambition, material inventiveness, and conceptual rigor of her art. Space Exploration examines a central and recurring concern in DeFeo’s oeuvre—the investigation of space, understood both as the vast, unknowable expanse of the cosmos and as a site of intense formal and perceptual inquiry within the artwork itself. DeFeo often conceived of her works as portals, a closely related concept, where a viewer might cross thresholds, enter voids, or encounter forces that exceed ordinary experience. As the artist once ... More
Wang Guangle.
NEW YORK, NY.- Pace announced an exhibition of ten new paintings by Wang Guangle at its 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York. On view from January 16 to February 28, 2026, this will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York since 2019, when he presented Wang Guangle: Duo Color at Pace. A pioneer of conceptual and abstract painting in China, Wang is known for his process-based works that he builds up layer-by-layer over the course of days and months. He sees the act of painting as a spiritual practice; creating mesmeric color gradations and textures in systematic layers of acrylic paint, he uses repetition as a means of expressing persistence and transcendence through time. Wang has long been interested in the tension between form and meaning, a relationship that informs his unique syntax of abstraction. Much of his work originates from deeply personal and existential ideas about temporality, physicality, and mortality—though he trained in academic oil painting, the artist is gu ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Following Trinity, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, Harry S. Truman signed the Atomic Energy Act bringing together a committee of researchers, military, and civilians to provide oversight on each aspect of the nation's atomic weaponry and energy protocol. During these meetings (headed by Robert Oppenheimer), all note-taking mechanisms were strictly prohibited, with doodling as an exception. Bryan LaPlante, a security guard specifically appointed to conduct a full sweep after meetings, saved each drawing (along with a meticulously redrawn seating chart, to attribute the drawings to their respective maker). LaPlante referred to himself as “messenger boy”. Performing Günther Anders’ analysis of our atomic age, the exhibition presents all 130 of the Atomic Energy Committee’s drawings through scanned reproduction, scattered as ... More
FRANKFURT.- Trisha Donnelly’s works oscillate between the concrete and the abstract, in accordance with their materiality and against it, within the nature of the medium and contrary to it. Materiality, form, and medium lose their supposed destination. Upon longer and more precise examination, the real of the work is grasped. The works are simply what they are and not solely in the realm of the visual. The Museum Fur Moderne Kunst is dedicating a comprehensive solo exhibition to Trisha Donnelly, featuring new photographic works as well as drawings, sculptures, and videos from her earlier phases. In the modern era, there has been an awareness that someone can live in two epochs or experience two states simultaneously ever since Marcel Proust showed how it’s done in his magnum opus In Search of Lost Time. But what drives contemporary art just as ... More

MUMBAI.- Sakshi Gallery marks its 40th year in 2026 with The Fourth Wall, an exhibition that revisits the gallery's formative decades. Presented as part of Mumbai Gallery Weekend, the exhibition returns to the early years of the gallery's journey: years that shaped its identity, its artists, and its position within the evolving landscape of Indian modern and contemporary artistic practice. Highlights include works by Krishen Khanna, KG Subramanyan, Nataraj Sharma, Gargi Raina, Rekha Rodwittiya and Sudhir Patwardhan, among others. Presented alongside these works is a selection of archival material drawn from the gallery's history, situating the practices on view within a longer arc of exhibitions, collaborations, and shifting artistic contexts. Founded in 1986 in Chennai by Geetha Mehra, Sakshi began as a space committed to expanding the visibility of Indian contemporary art, bringing art from other regional centres to the South while building connections across the country. ...

SEATTLE, WA.- Rodney McMillian (b. 1969, Columbia, South Carolina; based in Los Angeles, California) works with the social and political histories of the United States and how they define our daily lives. Using existing texts and domestic materials—such as house paint on thrifted fabrics and bedsheets, or “post-consumer objects” as he calls them—he traces both the visible and invisible forces that shape civic life, particularly for the lives of African Americans. Inspired by the lush surroundings of the Henry, McMillian brings together sculpture, video, and painting that present an outdoor landscape overgrown with the lingering effects of physical, political, and social violence. Across his varied media, McMillian navigates within the tension between abstraction and figuration, presence and absence. In a group of freestanding abstract sculptures, evocative ghostly forms—part taxidermy, part modernist object—suggest both prized ... More
Jia has created for the current exhibition more than twenty paintings that dilate on the spirited, volatile, and playfully expressive aspects of her art.
HONG KONG.- Kiang Malingue will present at its Hong Kong location “Play Gravity”, Yirui Jia’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Yirui Jia was born in China in 1997 and moved to the US in 2015. She graduated with a BFA from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania in 2019 and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2022. In the last five years, Jia has presented a series of boisterous, multilayered paintings driven by unplanned cadenza and relentless overpainting, building a highly theatricalised world that is colourful and exuberant, communicating between intuition and lived experience. She understands painting as a process of impulse and detour, commanding recurring characters such as an alien-like skeleton and a heroic one-eyed bride who freely changes into a warrior, an astronaut, or an untamed femme fatale. Jia has created for the current exhibition more than twenty paintings that dilate on the spirited, volatile, and playfully expressive aspects of ... More
Judy Pfaff, CARPETRIGHT, 2025. Steel, recycled plastic carpet, neon, T5 fluorescent light, 74 x 68 x 41 inches (188 x 172.7 x 104.1 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Cristin Tierney Gallery will present a group exhibition entitled Influencers, including artists such as Diane Burko, Yayoi Kusama, Abby Leigh, Wangechi Mutu, Judy Pfaff, Amy Sillman, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos), Audra Skuodas, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, among others. This exhibition is organized by Cristin Tierney and Adam Sheffer, and opens Friday, January 9th, with a public reception from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Influencers will close Saturday, February 14th. Influencers considers influence not as visibility or celebrity, but as an ethos, as it operates across art history and artistic communities: through mentorship, exchange, and the transmission of ideas. Bringing together artists whose work has already exerted lasting impact and influence, alongside those poised to do so, the exhibition positions influence as a collective and evolving force rather than a fixed designation—a continuum shaped by persistence, generosity, and engagement over time. ...

Salzburger Kunstverein presents 2026 programme "CAPTCHA Realism" SALZBURG.- There was a time when one’s status as verifiably human could be taken for granted. Today, however, the question seems no longer “Are you human?” but rather “Can you be perceived as human?” In the age of machine-mediated recognition, being human is not an ontological given but a bureaucratic achievement: a status granted, measured, and confirmed through algorithmic thresholds. This is encapsulated in the peculiar moment when humans must prove their humanity to a machine. Known as the CAPTCHA test—an acronym for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”—this authentication requirement was introduced in the early 2000s as a security measure. Since that time, the demands this test makes on its users have varied from deciphering distorted letters and identifying traffic lights in a grid of blurry ... More
Over 70 artists converge to explore interspecies coexistence TAICHUNG CITY.- The Taichung Art Museum opened with the inaugural exhibition A Call of All Beings: See you tomorrow, same time, same place, situated within the unique landscape of Central Park where the museum stands. Once the site of a military base and the Shuinan Airport, the area has since been transformed into a metropolitan green space, layered with memories and entangled in histories of spatial, cultural, and ecological governance. Departing from this evolving terrain, the exhibition explores the intertwined—sometimes visible, other times invisible—relationships among humans, animals, plants, and their shifting environments, reflecting on the modes of their coexistence that traverse across natural and urban worlds. Jointly curated by the Taichung Art Museum curatorial team, Taiwanese curator Ling-Chih Chow, American curator Alaina ... More
Dénes Farkas wins Tallinn Art Hall's public art competition TALLINN.- Tallinn Art Hall organised an art competition to find the best conceptual proposals for artworks for the renovated main building on Freedom Square. From among the works submitted by the deadline, the jury selected the design submitted under the motto Soup Kitchen ‘Art’, authored by artist Dénes Farkas. Unlike most other buildings for which competitions are held to commission artworks, Tallinn Art Hall is intrinsically intertwined with art. The nature, duration, composition, and location of the events taking place there are in constant flux. Consequently, alongside sculptural works, the brief primarily sought ephemeral, performative, or participatory proposals. In total, 17 designs were submitted to the competition, including 5 performative participatory works, 2 technological works, 3 ephemeral sculptural works, and 7 sculptural works. Excerpt from the winning ... More
Toxicity and transformation: Hassan Khan explores social disintegration at Portikus FRANKFURT.- Around 10AM on July 8th 2025 I took bus 170 from Insulaner bus stop in Berlin. Mornings on that stretch meant white German pensioners, ethnically mixed kids, and mothers with their babies. I noticed him straight-away. His large longish face, thick lensed glasses, slight wisps of hair and wiry body gave him a fragile yet volatile air. The next stop he stood up, shuffled to the door, pushing through the throng. Irritated, he suddenly unleashed a torrent of abuse at the woman in front of him who quickly jumped to the side to let him pass. Invigorated he stepped off the bus screaming at a louder more unhinged volume. The depth of his embodied disaffect directed at everyone. The doors shut, he stopped, narrowed his eyes and began scanning the collective. Head thrust forward, staring straight into our eyes he slowly and deliberately extended his right arm ... More

Witnessing atrocity: Sainsbury Centre explores art's response to genocide and injustice NORWICH.- Seeds of Hate and Hope presents personal artistic responses to global mass atrocities, such as genocides, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Featuring work by artists including Mona Hatoum, William Kentridge, Hew Locke, Zoran Mušič, Peter Oloya, Kimberly Fulton Orozco and Indrė Šerpytytė, it explores how, throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, artists have witnessed, experienced and responded to atrocity crimes and conflicts with powerful and compelling artworks. Drawing courage and inspiration from personal experience as well as shared histories, they have reacted to these events for many reasons including but not limited to bearing witness, expressing grief and promoting healing. With the aim of raising awareness about global conflicts and the role of art in confronting their legacy, this exhibition highlights artistic ... More

On a day like today, German Expressionist painter August Macke was born
January 03, 1887. August Robert Ludwig Macke (3 January 1887 - 26 September 1914) was a German Expressionist painter. He was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly active time for German art: he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe.
