VIENNA.- The seventh edition of the Vitrine EXTRA series draws attention to often overlooked inscriptions on Greek vases – from quickly scribbled trader’s notes to the signatures of proud workshop owners, which seem like precursors to today’s ‘Made by’ labels used to identify a particular brand. When we think about ancient inscriptions, we perhaps have the image before our eyes of large-scale texts chiselled in stone. They can, however, appear quite differently as well: they can be delicately engraved and briskly painted. Vitrine EXTRA #7 shows how Greek inscriptions on vases not only inform, but also surprise or create exciting new images. In Greek Antiquity, vases were not only artistically painted, but also inscribed – some of the inscriptions carved, some of them painted. Incised inscriptions were usually made after firing and rarely had anything to do with the image depicted on the vessel. ... More
LONDON.- Pace presents Mika Tajima: Anthesis, an exhibition of new and recent work by Mika Tajima, at its Hanover Square gallery in London. On view from September 3 through October 4, this solo presentation, the artist’s first in London since joining the gallery’s program in 2022, will debut a new body of work, titled Negentropica. Paintings and sculptures from Tajima’s Art d’Ameublement, Negative Entropy, and Pranayama series will also feature, representing her latest investigations into energy, invisible forces, and the self in a networked age. For almost two decades, Taijma’s multidisciplinary practice, which spans painting, sculpture, installation, and performance, has given substance to the ideas and qualities that circumscribe human agency within our built and virtual environments. Examining three consistent concepts—of control, freedom, and performance—her work is grounded in the material and sensorial, translating extensive theoretical ... More
LONDON.- Enter interior worlds imagined by contemporary painters Koak, Ding Shilun and Cece Philips this summer at Hauser & Wirth London. The exhibition explores how these artists engage with the interior both as a physical space and a psychological construct. Through distinct painterly vocabularies, each artist interrogates the architectural and domestic environments we inhabit, revealing how these frameworks shape our sense of self, memory and belonging. ‘Interior Motives’ is part of an ongoing initiative at Hauser & Wirth that champions emerging and mid-career artists beyond the gallery’s roster. Produced in collaboration with Union Pacific and Bernheim Gallery, this exhibition reflects a shared commitment to a sustainable arts ecosystem. Depicting figures in dreamlike domestic interiors, Koak’s painting practice questions the societal expectations and roles of women within the home as well as the traditional portrayal of women by male artists. With a graphic ... More
LONDON.- This autumn, the South London Gallery (SLG) will present Thrill, Fill and Spill a major solo exhibition by artist Yto Barrada. Barrada’s multidisciplinary practice has long addressed micro-histories, borderlands, cultural phenomena, and strategies of resistance. This exhibition will span textile, film, sculpture, and painting, and feature new and previous works. Yto Barrada has recently been chosen to represent France at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2026. The exhibition will feature new textile pieces, some of which were dyed at The Mothership, Barrada’s artist-led natural dye centre and residency space in Tangier, Morocco, an eco-campus where artists, gardeners and creatives come to work and study. Tangier Island Wall (2019), shown for the first time in the UK, is a sculpture made of crab traps which references Tangier Island, located in ... More
The exhibition features 24 new works alongside others produced in recent years.
SAO PAULO.- Nara Roesler São Paulo presents Àkùko, Eiyéle and Ekodidé – A Flock by Alberto Pitta, the first solo exhibition by the Bahian artist at the gallery’s São Paulo location. A central figure in Salvador’s carnival, Alberto Pitta designed the prints for important groups such as Olodum and Filhos de Gandhy, and in 1998 he founded his own bloco, Cortejo Afro. Curated and introduced by a critical text by Galciani Neves, the exhibition features 24 new works alongside others produced in recent years, including paintings and screen prints on canvas, as well as a wooden coffee cart – a reference to the colorful carts used by street vendors to sell coffee in Salvador, and also to the work presented in the group exhibition The Stillness of the Earth: Everyday Life, Contemporary Art and the Axé Project, curated by France Morin at the Museum of Modern Art of Bahia in 2000. For this exhibition, Galciani highlights the birds that appear throughout the artist’s pictorial producti ... More
Salvo, La valle, 2003. Oil on jute canvas, 100 x 80 cm. Courtesy of Mazzoleni, London – Torino.
SEOUL.- Mazzoleni returns to Frieze Seoul this year with a presentation that reflects the gallery’s dynamic programme, ahead of the opening of the gallery’s third space in Milan. The presentation unites distinct voices that have reshaped the boundaries of art from the post-war period to today and will include works by Agostino Bonalumi (1935– 2013), Enrico Castellani (1930–2017), Michelangelo Pistoletto (born 1933), and Salvo (1947–2015), among others. A highlight of the booth is Agostino Bonalumi’s Rosso, a large-scale estroflessione (extroflexed canvas) that exemplifies the artist’s innovative approach to pittura-oggetto, a fusion of painting and sculpture. Bonalumi’s use of monochromatic surfaces stretched over hidden structural elements transforms the canvas into a sculptural relief, disrupting the traditional pictorial plane and activating the surrounding space. His practice aligns with contemporaneous global movements such as Korea’s Dansaekhw ... More
MIDDELBURG.- Grounded in the personal stories of the artists and curators, Tatar* Kiss explores the often-invisible entanglements of colonialisms, from a primarily Dutch and Russian perspective. The exhibition highlights stories of collective resistance, joy and love that emerge from complex cultural histories, while acknowledging and revealing violence and cultural erasure that these empires and regimes have caused. The title of the exhibition, Tatar* Kiss, refers to an open-mouth kiss in the Tsardom of Muscovy—now known as Russia. By the 18th century, this term was changed to “French kiss”, reflecting broader political shifts such as racialization of the non-Christian and nomadic peoples Indigenous to Asia, who were homogeneously described as Tatars (or Tartars). These changes were also influenced by the European Enlightenment and major written works such as North and East Tartary (1692) by Dutch geographer and politician Nicolaes Witsen. While ... More

LINZ.- Peter Kogler is a renowned Austrian media artist known for his immersive spatial installations. Since the 1980s, he has used digital technologies to transform spaces into visual labyrinths with graphic patterns. Typical motifs in his work include tubes, ants, and brains, which stretch across walls, ceilings, and floors, challenging the viewer's perception. The artist's photographic archive serves as the starting point for the exhibition at the Francisco Carolinum Linz. In 1985, Kogler had an exhibition at the Gracie Mansion gallery in the East Village and spent a few months in New York—a time that significantly shaped his subsequent artistic development. With his camera, he documented the city's vibrant art and music scene at a time of profound social and technological upheaval. The exhibition interweaves these early photographs with expansive wallpaper installations. The focus is on the original cardboard pieces from his New York exhibition. The exhibition is ... More

BERLIN.- A new art exhibition, “Dispersion,” is coming to the Galerie im Tempelhof Museum, offering a deeply personal look into the search for identity and belonging. The show features the work of artist Wataru Murakami, who grew up in Canada and the U.S. after being born in Japan. His unique life experience is at the heart of this exhibition, which opens on Thursday, September 4th, at 7 PM. Murakami’s work, which includes photographs, focuses on a concept he calls "dispersion." The artist uses this term to describe the social and cultural scattering he has experienced and the inner emotional turmoil that comes with it. As someone who grew up in a different culture than his parents, Murakami uses his art to explore the idea of a hybrid cultural identity. His work seeks to answer a question many of us have faced: “Where are you from?” The exhibition takes visitors on a visual journey ... More
Sevil Tunaboylu, Keepsake, 2025. Colour pencil on paper, 60 x 82 cmProduced with the support of SAHA Association, Turkey.
BERLIN.- In a time of fractured geographies and contested histories, what does it mean to love a homeland? Is homeland a site of longing or a burden of history? Presenting newly commissioned works by Anita Muçolli and Sevil Tunaboylu alongside earlier pieces by Ian Waelder, this exhibition questions the contradictions of belonging, where love is entwined with alienation, and attachment collides with critique. Navigating exile, resistance, and the fluidity of identity, the artists interrogate the meaning of home, not as a fixed place but as a shifting terrain of politics and emotion. Together, their works reflect on the effects of migration on both personal and collective identity, tensions between embodying cultural heritage and assimilation, and the emotional legacies of displacement. Arising from chance meetings and ongoing exchanges, the included artists unfold narratives ... More

Galerie Peter Sillem opens Péter Nádas: Story of Light / New Lights FRANKFURT.- In his photographic series Story of Light (1999–2003) and its recent continuation New Lights, Péter Nádas investigates the aesthetic and conceptual boundaries of color photography. Central to these works is light itself—captured not as brightness in its fullness, but as a subtle phenomenon appearing in space and atmosphere. Rather than aiming for luminous spectacle, Nádas focuses on the presence of light within darkness: a beam that briefly reveals detail, form, and texture. "If God exists, you might find him in the smallest amount of light and in a compositional principle reduced to its barest essentials." — Péter Nádas Péter Nádas, born in Budapest in 1942, is both a writer and a photographer. After completing formal training in photography, he worked as a photojournalist for various publications. He later turned to literature and is now regarded ... More
OFFICE IMPART opens a new project by the artist collective CROSSLUCID BERLIN.- "The Way of Flowers“, a new project by the artist collective CROSSLUCID, offers a fundamental reinterpretation of environmental art by linking generative hybrid plant-beings with real-world ecosystem regeneration initiatives. Rather than static forms, these digital organisms embody participants’ ongoing ecological engagement, coalescing into a shared memory of transformation. Launching with three to five initial collectors or supporters—referred to as “Seed Stewards”—the project begins with the acquisition of digital seeds registered on the blockchain. Once released, these seeds are nurtured by broad, cross-community networks, allowing them to evolve through shared care. By purchasing a snapshot of a hybrid plant-being (a small contribution), participants not only contribute to verified biodiversity initiatives – the digital plant itself also responds to the interaction, ...

Quartz Studio to open the first solo show in Italy by Romain Dumesnil TURIN.- On Monday, September 15, 2025, at 7:00 pm, Quartz Studio will present Calore, the first solo show in Italy by the Franco-Brazilian Romain Dumesnil (Rouen, France, 1989). Romain Dumesnil’s work is strongly connected to the natural world and the ecology of its invisible forces and materiality. In the recent years he has especially explored the intricated relations between the organic and the mineral worlds occurring in particular in volcanic phenomena and magnetic fields, both rooted into deep magmatic movements and strongly related to our planet ecosphere and living conditions. In ‘Calore’ the artist presents a sculptural investigation of the symbolic and physical dynamics that sustain the Earth balance and our existence, inviting the visitors to experience a subtly glitched reality in an exhibition environment that has suffered micro-perturbations ...

von ammon announces its second solo exhibition by New York-based artist Jacob Kassay WASHINGTON, DC.- von ammon announced Show Yourself ❄️, its second solo exhibition by New York-based artist Jacob Kassay. Despite the general expectation that the mind’s attention be trained on a singular object at a time, the senses are mostly bicameral: two hemispheres, two eyes, two ears, and a pair of each sinus. Crying is a stereo-sensory experience. To lose the proper alignment of these twin apparatuses usually portends a critical sense of imbalance. Love and friendship are extrusions of the individual into a double that cannot really be self-recognized—a spouse may struggle over whom deserves his or her attention in a family photo. Kinship is even more complicated, as the individual will see traces of him or herself, staggered within separate living tissue. Despite the mind’s lust for singularity, life tends to be made up of dyads like these, but ones that progressively ... More
Infamous WWII tank reveals new evidence of desperate final battle DORSET.- A piece of shrapnel concealed inside one of The Tank Museum’s most popular exhibits for over 80 years provides an insight into the bloody history of tank action during the Second World War. Tiger 131 was the first of the German Tiger tanks to be captured intact by the Western Allies – making it a significant prize. To this day it remains one of the most famous tanks in the world, with thousands of fans flocking to see the only running Tiger I at The Tank Museum’s ‘Tiger Day’. Keeping a tank that is over 80 years old in running order requires regular servicing, meaning the ins and outs of Tiger 131 are well known to the Workshop team. Therefore, engineers performing a routine inspection were surprised to discover a chunk of shrapnel inside one of its wheels. Nick Booth, Head of Curatorial Services, said: “Tiger 131 has been extensively restored and overhauled ... More
Gagosian to participate in Frieze Seoul 2025 SEOUL.- Gagosian will participate in the fourth edition of Frieze Seoul at COEX, opening September 3, 2025, with paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by an international grouping of gallery artists. Through a wide range of projects from 1965 to today, the gallery’s presentation explores the cultural and psychological resonance of the human figure, the intersection of ancient myth and contemporary narrative, and the ways in which traditional methods inform new innovations. In the four-panel epic A Picture of the Blessed Lion Who Nestles with the Secrets of Death and Life (2014), Takashi Murakami applies the kezuri technique of repeatedly layering and sanding a painted surface to an elaborate vision of the Japanese myth of the karajishi (“China-lion”), a beast responsible for guarding Buddhist temples. The depicted scene—a test of strength endured by karajishi cubs that involves being thrown off a cliff by their parents—allegorizes the qualities of resilience and po ... More

On a day like today, French painter Henri Rousseau died
March 02, 1910. Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (May 21, 1844 - September 2, 1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naïve or Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll collector. Ridiculed during his life, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality. In this image: Employees of the Grand Palais museum in Paris take Henri Rousseau's painting "Foret tropicale avec singes," (1910), away for packing Thursday June 22, 2006, for transportation to the U.S. for the "Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris" exhibit, the first all-Rousseau retrospective in two decades which opened Sunday, July 16, 2006, at the National Gallery of Art's East Building in Washington.
