Sébastien Bourdon, Queen Christina of Sweden on Horseback, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado.
MADRID.- The Museo Nacional del Prado and the Embassy of Sweden in Madrid are marking the 400th anniversary of the birth of Queen Christina of Sweden with a wide-ranging program of exhibitions, concerts, talks, dance, educational activities and events exploring the queen’s enduring connections with art, science and intellectual freedom. Running from October through December 2026, the program takes inspiration from Christina herself, a monarch remembered for defying convention and pursuing culture, learning and personal independence with unusual intensity for her time. The Prado is using the anniversary not only to revisit her historical legacy, but also to connect her interests with contemporary questions surrounding identity, women in science, creativity and cultural exchange. A central part of the initiative will be the renewal of a sculpture gallery in the Prado’s permanent collection, bringing together important works once owned by Christina in Rome. The project forms part of the ... More
BERLIN.- In his own lifetime Lovis Corinth (1858–1925) was one of the best-known, most influential figures in Berlin’s modernist circles alongside Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Walter Leistikow. The artist had already turned forty when, in 1901, he decided to shift his base from Munich to Berlin. After he arrived in the capital, which had replaced Munich as the hub of modern art in Germany, Corinth put naturalism behind him and became one of the leading modern painters of his day. Looking back, the key to this unprecedented bout of success was obvious to Corinth: “Munich was not the right place for me. It didn’t take off until Berlin.” Once he settled by the Spree, inspired by French Impressionism and other trends in art, Corinth adopted his distinctive loose brushwork. His unconventional style, which many found provocative at first, was soon accepted as evidence that Germany, too, was capable of spawning innovative artists. In Berlin Corinth’s productivity incre ... More
Study of Pre-Hispanic pendants will contribute to knowledge of trade in Southeastern Mexico. Photo: William Ismael Cupul Sánchez.
CHETUMAL, MEXICO.- A group of 14 small shell pendants discovered in funerary contexts along sections of the Maya Train project is offering archaeologists new clues about trade, technology and religious beliefs in the ancient Maya world. The pendants, found in Campeche and Yucatán, depict frogs and toads and measure only between 2 and 4 centimeters. Despite their small size, researchers say they may help reveal how raw materials circulated across southeastern Mexico, where certain species were found, and how objects connected to water and fertility were used in ritual life. The pieces were recovered during archaeological salvage work carried out by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and are now being studied at the Zooarchaeology Laboratory in Chetumal, Quintana Roo. According to archaeologist María Elodia Acevedo Chin, the objects come from the archaeological sites of Sacamuy, Dzitbalché, Xiol, Kimbilá and Kanab and ... More
PHILADELPHIA, PA.- The Philadelphia Museum of Art is presenting the first major U.S. retrospective in more than 50 years dedicated to the work of Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968). On view in the Dorrance Galleries from October 10, 2026–January 31, 2027, the exhibition features a chronological display of approximately 300 works from a career spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, film, printed matter, and the unclassifiable works known as readymades. The last major U.S. Duchamp survey took place in 1973–74, co-organized by the PMA—home to the world’s largest Duchamp collection—and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Co-organized by the same two institutions, this exhibition will reappraise an oeuvre that transformed the very idea of what art could be. “We are delighted to join forces once again with The Museum of Modern ...

THE HAGUE.- Kunstmuseum Den Haag is pulling out the stops and celebrating its collection in a big way. This year, to mark its 160th anniversary, the museum is presenting its unique foundation in a new light. From 10 October, undisputed crowd-pleasers will return in the revamped presentation KM (New) Icons and the world’s largest collection of Mondrians will settle into a prominent new spot in the Berlage building. During the special opening weekend on 10 and 11 October, the museum will be celebrating this collection of, for and by The Hague. On Saturday 10 October, the museum will open its doors to the city, offering free admission. This is the prelude to a completely transformed museum at the end of 2026, in which the museum showcases everything it has to offer. Once Blue Loves You: The Magic of Delftware opens in late November, the entire museum will be dedicated to this world-class collection found in The Hague. What makes a work iconic today – and tomorrow? For the first time since D ... More
LONDON.- Large Glass is presenting People I Care About, Italian artist Mario Cresci's second solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition focuses on a series of images made in Tricarico, a town and comune in the province of Matera, Italy, between 1966 and 1967. At the time sociologists and intellectuals were drawn to this Southern Italian region, inspired by the writings of Carlo Levi and the anthropological research of Ernesto De Martino. These portraits are part of a significant body of work that documents this area and its people and Cresci's own relationships to them. Antonella Pelizzari writes in her accompanying text: "Like the traces left by a contemporary migrant, the works in this exhibition are signs of a human encounter with multiple geographies and media. The camera for Mario Cresci is equivalent to a brush, a felt pen, and a charcoal, in its continuous writing and rewriting of an experience, ... More
Portrait of Gözde İlkin.
ST IVES.- This autumn, Tate St Ives presents Those Who Remember Their Births, a new site-specific commission by Turkish artist Gözde İlkin. Developed during two residencies in St Ives in 2026, the installation brings together sculpture, painting and embroidery to explore the relationships between landscape, memory and women’s lived experiences. During her time in St Ives, İlkin became interested in the coastline as a living archive, observing how waves, wind and tides continually reshape the landscape and how geological and human histories become intertwined. These encounters informed the development of Those Who Remember Their Births, which explores how memory can be carried through landscapes, textiles, everyday objects and shared histories. Inspired by the shifting movements of the sea, İlkin transforms vintage family bedsheets with batik and wire to create flowing, wave-like sculptural forms adorned with painted and embroidered details and suspended within the gallery spa ...

Neon Club brings together approximately thirty works
VALENCE.- Continuing its program of monographic exhibitions devoted to contemporary artists—including Gerda Steiner & Jörg Lenzlinger (2019), Philippe Favier (2021), Hervé Di Rosa (2022), and Jaume Plensa (2024)—the Musée de Valence reaffirms its commitment to contemporary creation by inviting Amélie Bertrand to develop an original project bringing together recent works, some of which have been influenced by the museum’s architecture and collections. Through a painting practice defined by a flawlessly smooth finish, Amélie Bertrand (b. 1985) departs from idealized landscapes inspired by nature to construct settings suspended between dream and nightmare. Her compositions are meticulously built from interlocking planes and surfaces that give way to skewed perspectives and depthless horizons. Colors are applied in gradients, always in a single layer, as if suspended on the surface of an impenetrable screen. Within the strict confines of painting, Bertrand creates an atmosphere of déj ...

Isamu Noguchi (1904 – 1988), Cloud Mountain, 1982-83, hot-dipped galvanized steel, 69 3/4 x 49 1/4 x 28 1/4 in. Art Bridges. Photography by Charles White / JWPictures.
ORLANDO, FLA.- The Mennello Museum of American Art is presenting Metal the Mirror, an exhibition featuring nine hot-dipped galvanized steel sculptures by Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), from August 28, 2026, through February 28, 2027. Organized by Art Bridges, it is the first presentation of Noguchi’s work in Central Florida in more than two decades. Conceived of in 1982–83, near the end of Noguchi’s six-decade career, each sculpture is cut from a single sheet of steel with a plasma torch, folded, and dipped in boiling zinc. The process leaves surfaces that are subtly mottled and mirror-bright — surfaces that will keep changing as the metal takes on a patina. Metal the Mirror is the Mennello Museum’s first large-scale indoor sculpture exhibition and the only Southeast venue on the exhibition’s national tour. “Here is where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the ... More

SCHIEDAM.- Food is more than simply the act of eating. It holds memory and comfort, supports rituals, and tells stories of migration, class, struggle, and care. Food is one of the first ways we form relationships with others and it weaves us into everything that lives and fades. Through food and eating, we take the world into ourselves. In As Necessary as Bread – From Land, to Kitchen and Table Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, in collaboration with curator Rawad Baaklini and researcher Lieneke Hulshof, explores how food connects us to the land, labour, rituals and memories. Through three themes – Land, Kitchen and Table – contemporary and renowned artists demonstrate how food is intertwined with power, migration, care and cultural identity. With over seventy works by fifty different artists – ranging from paintings, sculptures and photographs to video installations – their personal stories come to life. For example, artist Samah Shihadi depicts her family preparing grain, a tra ... More
Gary-Ross Pastrana, Growth Series (Pollen), 2026. Collage on painted canvas, 9.84h x 7.87w x 2d in • 25h x 20w x 5d cm.
MANILA.- In attempting to define collage over the years, Gary-Ross Pastrana has fortuitously stumbled upon the evolution of his own practice. The result has become a clear indication of not just forms and images being developed but a kind of language in its own right—his own. One that is communicated through the act of cutting and pasting pieces of paper and, in some cases, a return to painting—either combined with his collage compositions or purely on canvas. In this latest exhibition he calls sign, signal, shadow, he forays deeper into the language collage has created for him in an attempt to seek out what is primal: where it could fundamentally start as a symbol or ‘logos’ before it could possibly speak of something more explicit or determinate. It is, after all, for Pastrana, the beginning of all utterances, of latent sign systems—the attempt to signify something without anything yet definitive to communicate. But apart from the symbolic and constructivist nature of ... More
SKZ Student Chair, Room 352, 2017, painted plywood 28.5 x 16.5 x 16.5 inches.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Right now light hurtles through the vacuums of space across vast expanses of the cosmos, moving at speeds nearly unimaginable in relation to our daily lives. However, this velocity is still a quantifiable number; a calculation so reliable that since 1983 the international standard meter has been defined by the speed of light constant, and correspondingly so much of the metric system unfolds from it. A single meter is calculated as the exact length of the path traveled by light during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. In The State Art Academy, Zürich (SKZ)’s now legendary Centimeter Studies Classroom the students were prompted to examine the practicality and poetry of this basic denomination of length. Our thinking can so easily be constrained by the limitations of our narrow frames of reference. The centimeter is an everyday measurement, well suited to our physical size. However, because of its place in the metric system's powers of ten, it provides a secret passage be ... More

Exhibition marks a century since Alan Turing's Dorset schooldays and his indelible legacy on the 20th and 21st centuries DORSET.- To mark 100 years since Alan Turing (1912-1954) arrived at Sherborne School, a new exhibition explores the pioneering British polymath’s formative friendships, school years and ideas before his crucial role at Bletchley Park during WW2. Today, Turing is famous not only for his role in breaking the Enigma code, but he is also widely regarded as the founder of modern computing and AI. The exhibition, Turing Before Bletchley traces back to May 1926, when at the age of 13, Turing was enrolled at Sherborne School, then an independent boarding school in the picturesque Dorset market town, where he boarded at Westcott House. Turing’s first day of term coincided with the 1926 General Strike, but he was so determined to attend ... More
-ATI presents new installation at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart exploring laughter as protest STUTTGART.- This is a project about laughing and architecture. About how the architecture of institutions upholds acts of power, and above all, about how laughing has the potential to scupper those acts of power. It is, in other words, about laughter’s destituent potential to cause the performance of power to fail, by vacating its “conditions of felicity” in a prodigious roar of collective laughter. Today, the house is burning – the whole house, all the houses – and the only ones laughing are the arsonists. Laughing not at the flames or the charred ruins but at having reduced the rest of us to a state of stunned spectatorship and acquiescence to the Strange Event (whatever it may be). This project is about repurposing laughter and architecture – about laughing while the house is burning. It follows the story of a collective of architects – not really architects, but not not architects ... More
Chiara Camoni explores the dark, subversive side of floral motifs at La Societ delle Api ROME.- For its second exhibition since the opening of its Roman space, La Società delle Api presents I fiori del male, a project dedicated to the work of Chiara Camoni and curated by Alice Motard. The exhibition takes as its starting point a collection assembled over the years by Silvia Fiorucci, who has followed the artist’s work since her beginnings. The flower is ubiquitous in Camoni’s work, where it appears both as a motif and as a material. But what happens when we stop seeing it as the consensual symbol of life, delicacy and beauty? I fiori del male reveals another side—chthonic, encrypted, destructive, artificial, spiritual. The exhibition does not seek to deny the fundamentally positive dimension of Camoni’s work, which is grounded in respect for nature, handmade processes and collective making, but rather to complicate it. It brings to light ... More
Mid-century ceramic pioneer Laura Andreson spotlighted in long-overdue Los Angeles retrospective LOS ANGELES, CA.- Laura Andreson was an inventive ceramicist and educator in the Los Angeles area from the 1930s through the 1980s whose influence is underrecognized. This exhibition brings to light her seminal impact on the Southern California clay movement, contemporary sculpture, and design, both as founder of the Ceramics program at UCLA and tireless innovator in ceramic forms and surfaces. Her contributions are especially noteworthy being during a time of extreme patriarchy in the worlds of both art and education. More than forty pivotal examples of Andreson’s work will be exhibited alongside the work of some of her noteworthy students, such as JB Blunk, David Cressey, and Bernard Kester, as well as the work of Andreson’s own mentors and peers such as Gertrud and Otto Natzler, Marguerite Wildenhain, and Carlton Ball. Andreson’s work is characterized ... More
New Tiger book by former curator released by The Tank Museum DORSET.- Countless authors have examined what the Tiger did on the battlefield. Few have explored how it came to exist in the first place – and none have done so in this much detail. The latest The Tank Museum publication, Tiger Tank: By Order of the Führer, draws on former curator David Willey’s decades of research and his unique experience working with Tiger 131 – the world's most renowned surviving Tiger tank. Using rare photographs and material from The Tank Museum’s Archive, Willey challenges long-held assumptions and separates historical reality from wartime myth. “Feared by its enemies, admired by enthusiasts and immortalised in military history, the Tiger has become one of the most iconic fighting vehicles ever built,” says Tank Museum Chief Operating Officer, Simon Prager. “David gives a fresh perspective on the forces that brought ...

Call for applications: Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA) seeks artistic director and executive director ANTWERP.- M HKA is looking for a new artistic director and a new executive director to shape the museum's future together. The decision builds on the course the board set in July 2026: M HKA is to become an artistically ambitious museum built around its collection, with collaboration as its driving force. Each director brings distinct expertise, but the two will set the museum's course together. The artistic director takes charge of artistic direction, the collection and the programme; the executive director of the museum's organisational, financial and staffing strength. The result is a leadership structure that mirrors the collaborative, networked model M HKA wants to build. Backed by strong public and sector-wide support, M HKA ... More
Klaipėda Culture Communication Center presents Noise Portals KLAIPėDA.- What remains in a city when its inhabitants, landscape, purpose, or even the place itself changes? Can a solar eclipse cause a fire while at the same time bringing nature back to life? Can the loss of ancestral islands become a form of “productive” mourning? Noise Portals is an attempt to pull together two very different ports—Klaipėda in Lithuania and Kotka in Finland—which emerge as changing spaces where noise alternates with the silence of loss. These dissimilar yet kindred Baltic Sea ports are connected not only by their geographical location, but also by a complex geography of memory. On Kotka’s horizon remain traces of the lost islands of the Gulf of Finland, while in Klaipėda there is a rupture in the continuity of its population and urban history. These losses remain present today in the landscape, buildings, and memories. ... More
ifa - Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen presents Bocas de agua, an OtherNetwork exhibition BARRANQUILLA.- OtherNetwork presents Bocas de agua, the sixth edition of its experimental curatorial project, guest curated by Guatemalan independent arts initiative La Nueva Fábrica and hosted by Casa de Meira at the Galería de Bellas Artes in Barranquilla. Approaching Barranquilla as a watery ecosystem shaped by the meeting of the Magdalena River and the Caribbean Sea, curator Ilaria Conti asks: what changes when water is no longer approached as landscape, resource or metaphor, but as a neighbour? Grounded in hydrofeminist thought, the exhibition understands bodies as porous and relational – bodies of water constituted through exchanges that precede and exceed the individual. Yet shared water is politically charged, and does not imply equal conditions. Water is situated within territories, histories, infrastructures and asymmetrical ... More

Stedelijk Museum presents Adam Pendleton's Dutch museum debut AMSTERDAM.- Some Wild Kind of Language is Adam Pendleton’s first museum exhibition in the Netherlands, and features ten paintings and eight large-scale drawings. The exhibition showcases Pendleton’s exploration of abstract forms. Many of the works are new and have never been shown before, making the exhibition a milestone in his body of work. Installed within the central spaces of the museum's historic building, Some Wild Kind of Language positions the Stedelijk's architecture and collection as active components of the exhibition. In the iconic staircase of the museum's 1895 building, Pendleton engages one of its most historically significant spaces. In 1938, curator Willem Sandberg painted the staircase's dark-colored brick walls white to establish one of the earliest "white cubes," a transformation he later extended throughout the museum ...
