In his first Caribbean exhibition, presented by gallerist Walter Otero, Stillz emerges as the Warhol of a new generation with “Hace Un Da Precioso, Vers Cmo Viene Alguno Y Lo Jode”.
SAN JUAN, PR.- There are artists who document an era, and others who ultimately become part of it. Stillz belongs to the latter. His talent, vision, and ingenuity converge in the multidisciplinary universe he has built over the years, moving seamlessly across mediums—from painting and music videos to film and, of course, Polaroids of iconic figures in contemporary pop culture, including the incomparable Bad Bunny—earning him comparisons to the Warhol of this generation. With an introduction like that, it seems only fitting that his latest project, “Hace Un Da Precioso, Vers Cmo Viene Alguno Y Lo Jode,” be presented at Walter Otero Contemporary Art. “The first time I saw Stillz’s book, I came across a consistency that I had previously seen in an artist I greatly admire, Andy Warhol. I not only liked his work, but he also worked with Polaroids. Then I watched ... More
Dutch School, 1638, Portrait of Jacobus at 6 Years Old. Inscribed and dated in the upper left Anno 1638 8/19 Aetatis Sua 6 Jaar. Oil on panel, 49.2 x 29.1 inches (125 x 74 cm.).
NEW YORK, NY.- On August 19, 1638, a young Dutch boy named Jacobus stood before an artist. He was six and a half years old, dressed in his finest clothes, his lace collar carefully arranged, and his cloak draped elegantly over one shoulder. Across the upper left corner, the artist recorded the occasion with remarkable precision: “Anno 1638 8/19 Aetatis Sua 6 Jaar”—August 19, 1638, at the age of six and a half years. Nearly four centuries later, that inscription transforms what might otherwise be an anonymous portrait into something deeply personal. With that one small detail, this sweet little boy is preserved forever. In the 17th century, portraits were rarely casual commissions. Amsterdam was booming and growing prosperity created an extraordinary demand for portraits. These usually marked a milestone like an important marriage, an appointment to a new position, ... More

Opened to the public for the first time, the private apartments offer a rare glimpse into how the late Queen spent personal moments between official duties.
EDINBURGH.- Visitors have only a few weeks left to step inside the private rooms used by Queen Elizabeth II at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, as a rare opening created to mark the centenary of the late monarch’s birth approaches its end. The private apartments, opened to the public for the first time this year, will remain accessible through September 10. The 100-day program began on May 21 and is available only in 2026, making the coming weeks the final opportunity to experience spaces that for decades remained largely out of public view. The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the monarch’s official residence in Scotland, and during her reign Queen Elizabeth II regularly stayed there with Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Their private suite occupies part of the Palace’s east side, overlooking the gardens and Holyrood Park.

Alonso Cano, La Lactation de saint Bernard, 1645-1652. Huile sur toile, 267 cm x 185 cm. Muse national du Prado, Madrid, Espagne Photographic Archive Museo Nacional del Prado.
MARSEILLE.- Eating an image – what a strange idea! And yet we have never ceased to feast on them, from the earliest antiquity to the present day, particularly in Europe and the Mediterranean. So how can we explain such an attitude towards them ? Why incorporate an image, take it into oneself, at the risk of destroying it, rather than observing it quietly from a distance ? What functions can be attributed to these actions, to this very particular experience of images? What does such behaviour reveal about ourselves and our societies ? The exhibition ‘The Taste of images’ will address these questions by demonstrating that the ingestion of a figurative object makes it possible to harbour within the night of one’s body that which has the power to heal, protect and transform us, but also to offer us the means to learn, to resist, to play, to dream, and to participate in the life of dedicated ...

Christa Mayer Psychoanalytikerin M. Teich, New York 1987 Christa Mayer, VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn, 2026.
BERLIN.- Four months after the close of a major survey of her work, photographer and psychologist Christa Mayer will return to Berlin’s Haus am Kleistpark on August 20 for a conversation examining more than four decades of image-making shaped by empathy, psychology and an enduring fascination with the inner lives of people and places. Mayer will speak with Katia Reich, Head of the Photography Collection at the Berlinische Galerie, in an event following the strong reception of Christa Mayer. Photography – The Work, which was presented at Haus am Kleistpark earlier this year. The conversation offers a chance to look again at a body of work that occupies an unusual place in German photography. Mayer developed her practice while simultaneously pursuing a career as a psychologist and psychotherapist, and the two fields became deeply intertwined. Some of her best-known photographs emerged from a Berlin psychiatric clinic, where she ... More
Rohini Devasher, Detail of Latent Fields (Field Six) (2023). Inkjet print on habotai silk, 304.8 x 558.8 cm. Image courtesy of the artist and Gallery Wendi Norris, San Francisco.
DUBAI.- Ishara Art Foundation presents ‘The sky held it, the earth remembered’ in collaboration with the Han Nefkens Foundation, an exhibition that showcases major works by Shahana Rajani, the recipient of the inaugural South Asian Video Art Production Grant, Rohini Devasher, and Sarker Protick. The exhibition examines how land, water, and the cosmos serve as living archives of memory and history. Through photography, moving image, and installation, the exhibition proposes that the environment bears the material traces of ecological change, preserving them across deep time. ‘The sky held it, the earth remembered’ engages with contemporary critiques of the Anthropocene, rejecting a human-centred vision of the world in favour of the view that people and non-human forces are irrevocably intertwined. Rather than a passive witness to history, the earth ... More

Abu Hamdan’s audio investigation, conducted with ... More
Nhu Xuan Hua, Little Super in Versailles – Archive from the year '88, 2026.
LONDON.- Working at the intersection of art and fashion photography, Nhu Xuan Hua reflects on the fragility of how stories are communicated – or withheld – across generations. Rooted in language’s inability to fully convey complex family histories, Hua reimagines archival photographs from her family’s time in Vietnam and their early years in Europe. These uncanny, dreamlike compositions echo how memory within the diaspora can splinter, blur and slip from view. Of Walking on Fire considers how the past continues to reverberate into the future – and how silence can persist, even in moments of gathering and togetherness. Born and raised in Paris to immigrant parents who fled to Europe after the war in Vietnam (1955-1975), Hua grew up feeling a palpable distance from her Vietnamese heritage. Questions about the past were often met with the refrain Why are you asking? The past belongs to the ... More
Constantin Nitsche, Le Roucas Blanc II (detail), 2024-2026. Photo: Thomas Merle.
BRUSSELS.- For Constantin Nitsche, painting begins with an impossible gesture: trying to hold on to something that continually escapes. ‘Sometimes I come very close, and that’s where the satisfaction lies. You’re this close, and then it’s like sand in your hand – you try to hold onto it, but it slips away,’ he says. His second exhibition at the gallery, Les mains, takes its title from one of Franz Kafka’s letters to Milena Jesensk, in which he writes, ‘I can’t hold enough of you in my hands’ [Ich kann doch nicht genug von Dir in Hnden halten]. For Nitsche, the sentence echoes the experience of painting: every image approaches something it can never fully possess. Developed in his studio in Marseille, the works are created through a process of layering, revision and subtraction. Earlier states of the paintings are not always entirely erased, often surviving as ghostly traces beneath the surfaces. An initial idea gradually gives way to something l ... More

Bohusläns Museum presents Mike Bode and Audrey Wozniak: Playing the Legend UDDEVALLA.- Playing the Legend is a conceptual multimedia installation that examines the production of material culture and myth within the family and metallurgical lineages of the world-renowned Zildjian cymbal. The project emerges from a long-term collaboration between visual artist Mike Bode and ethnomusicologist, violinist, and cultural mediator Audrey Wozniak. The exhibition takes a musical instrument as its primary interlocutor: specifically, the cymbal whose alloy was reputedly developed by Ottoman-Armenian alchemist Avedis Zildjian for the Ottoman sultan in 1623, and whose secret formula (according to legend) has been passed down generation to generation, all the way to the fourteenth generation of Zildjians now running a cymbal factory (named “America’s oldest family business”) in Massachusetts. The cymbal’s transnational circulations— ... More
Ivan Gette to present solo exhibition TUTTO PASSA during Berlin Art Week BERLIN.- TUTTO PASSA is Italian for "everything passes" – a philosophy of life that understands change not as loss, but as value. With his eponymous body of work, the Berlin-based artist Ivan Gette captures the here and now: that single moment shaped by countless influences, never to repeat itself. Gette found the impulse for this during a stay in Pietrasanta (Tuscany), where he deliberately engaged with the philosophy of TUTTO PASSA and let himself be inspired by it. Our lives are made up of exactly such moments – fragments that stay with us and shape who we are. Gette translates them into colour. Not as an image, but as a memory that lives on within us. Constantly in motion, Gette's artistic practice is carried by travel, encounters and unfiltered emotions. Each work is created intuitively, unfiltered and in the moment. Nothing is explained. Gette deliberately ... More
The Tank Museum and Babcock join forces to develop future engineers DORSET.- As part of their commitment to developing the next generation of engineers, The Tank Museum and defence company, Babcock International Group (Babcock), have joined forces to give Vehicle Technician apprentices hands-on experience working on both historic and modern military vehicles. Apprentice Vehicle Technician, James Trevett, who has been working at the Museum for three years, recently welcomed 14 Babcock apprentices to learn about historic vehicles. They later visited the Ministry of Defence site in Bovington, where Babcock delivers vehicle support services, getting an insight into modern-day defence vehicles. James said: “I was inspired to join The Tank Museum and pursue a career in engineering after I left school and was keen to get into a hands-on job. I grew up on a farm, and I spent a lot of my childhood tinkering with equipment. With five Land Rovers at home in my own workshop, it’s safe to say I enjoy fixing things and solving problems. “At the Museum, I carry ... More
