Mona Hatoum, Divide, 2025. Photo: White Cube (Theo Christellis).
ORANI.- The Foundation and Museo Nivola present Behind the Seen, a solo exhibition by artist Mona Hatoum, the result of a residency in Orani during which Hatoum explored Sardinia, deepening her encounter with the island’s local culture and artisanal practices. Curated by Giuliana Altea, Antonella Camarda and Luca Cheri, the exhibition includes both existing works and several new productions, some created in collaboration with local artisans. Behind the Seen reflects on the relationship between body, matter and land, between what is visible and what remains hidden. Through a language that combines formal minimalism with political tension, Hatoum questions how space is regulated, surveilled and colonised. Her work does not offer solutions, but rather builds environments of experience and suspension, in which viewers are continuously called upon to reposition themselves, to negotiate their perspective and to “see” what remains behind the scenes. In this sense, her works act as crit ... More
BONN.- Approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, of which 96.5% is seawater. Wouldn’t it be more accurate to call Planet Earth ‘Planet Water’? The world’s oceans are considered the source of all life on earth. They provide raw materials, energy, food, transport routes and function as a climate machine. The immersive cultural-historical exhibition Expedition to the World’s Oceans not only sheds light on the ‘superficial’ relationship between humans and the sea but also delves into the mysterious depths of the submarine realm. Humans have been using the ocean as a global highway for 4,000 years, so it seems almost paradoxical that today we know more about the surfaces of the moon and Mars than about the world’s oceans, only 5% of whose depths have been explored. The world’s oceans have always been spaces that fire the imagination, stir longings and fuel ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art unveiled the newly reimagined MoMA Design Store, Soho, on Saturday, September 27. The redesigned space brings a fresh perspective to how people engage with design, culture and commerce in downtown New York. Beloved by locals and sought out by art and design enthusiasts from around the world, the Spring Street store acts as both a dynamic entry point to MoMA and a destination in its own right. Debuting within the redesigned store is LOVE NYC by Nina Chanel Abney, a New York-based artist with work in MoMA’s collection. The original work of art marks the first iteration of Modern Mural — a collaboration between the Museum and MoMA Design Store that brings contemporary art into the space through a rotating program of works. Located at 81 Spring Street, the landmarked 19th-century building has been thoughtfully transformed by Peterson Rich Office. In keeping with ... More
Installation view, Gerhard Richter, Zander Galerie, Art Basel, 2019.
PARIS.- Zander Galerie Paris announced its new exhibition dedicated to one of the most influential figures of contemporary art, Gerhard Richter, and to one of the most radical aspects of his practice: his grey paintings and objects. The title La Couleur du Renoncement evokes a deliberate act of withdrawal: a renunciation of image and narrative that mirrors Richter’s own radical reduction of painting to its most essential elements. At a time marked by personal doubt and inner turmoil, this renunciation was not a loss but a necessary condition for achieving a profound intensity in which painting regains its fundamental power. Born in Dresden in 1932 and trained in East Germany under the doctrine of Socialist Realism, Gerhard Richter chose in 1961 to leave that ideological system, moving to Düsseldorf just months before the construction of the Berlin Wall. Confronted with the languages of Western abstraction and postwar modernism, Richter deliberately ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Whether or not you celebrated Christmas at some point during the last 70 years, you have no doubt encountered many of the scenes shown here in Lee Friedlander's eclectic black-and-white documentation of the holiday season across America. From city sidewalks to cookie-cutter suburbs, Friedlander captures it all: main street store window displays; plastic nativities on snow-covered lawns; inflatable snowglobes and Santa Clauses; questionable St. Nicholas–themed lingerie; oversize or underwhelming Christmas trees; and houses so covered in string lights as to demand nothing short of a miracle from the local power grid. As in all of his work, Friedlander's images of Christmas reflect his own version of the holiday. Is Christmas in America a religious celebration? A commercial precept? A misunderstanding? An indulgent blasphemy? Or all of the above? The only certain thing is that December 25 has provided an opportunity for the people ... More

REYKJAVÍK.- i8 Gallery is presenting Ragnar Kjartansson’s Soap Opera, a video work that comprises 81 restaged episodes of the American soap opera Santa Barbara which soared in popularity in 1990s Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and Belarus and became a vital cultural touchstone after the Soviet Union fell. Now exhibited for the first time, Kjartansson’s Soap Opera was filmed on-site from 2021-22 at Russia’s V-A-C Foundation’s GES-2 House of Culture, which resided in a former power plant reimaged by architect Renzo Piano in the centre of the capital city. Kjartansson held the inaugural exhibition at the GES-2, which opened to the public in December 2021 after four years of exhibition planning. Kjartansson’s presentation was twofold: a show of multiple artists’ works cocurated by the artist and his wife, fellow artist Ingibjörg Sigurjónsdóttir, as well as a new ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art’s 2025 Film Benefit, presented by CHANEL, will honor Academy Award-winning writer, director, and producer Sofia Coppola on November 12. Coppola has written and directed nine feature films, winning the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award in 2004 for Lost in Translation, which she also directed. Five of Coppola’s films are in MoMA’s collection: The Virgin Suicides (1999), Lost in Translation (2003), Marie Antoinette (2006), Somewhere (2010), and The Bling Ring (2013). Coppola, a long-standing artistic collaborator and ambassador for CHANEL, was the subject of a 2004 film exhibition, A Work in Progress: The Films of Sofia Coppola; helped organize a 2013 exhibition dedicated to the work of her longtime collaborator Harris Savides; and has been featured in MoMA’s Contenders series multiple times, most recently in 2023 with the film Priscilla. “Developing long-term relationships with artists is one of the profound ...

Cassidy Toner, Besides the Point key visual, 2025. C-print, 118.9 x 84.1 cm. Photo: Cassidy Toner.
BASEL.- Cassidy Toner’s new works take center stage at the Kunstmuseum Basel. Awarded the Manor Art Prize 2025, the US-born, Basel-based artist (b. 1992, Baltimore) presents an entire body of new work in Cassidy Toner. Besides the Point. On View are nearly two dozen ceramic sculptures, a sprawling wall drawing, a video piece, and an installation featuring cast objects in synthetic resin and tin—all created especially for the exhibition. Witty, sly, and full of surprises—In her work, Toner levels an ironic, critical gaze at the art world’s dealings, expectations, and systems of value. With a healthy dose of humor and an acute self-awareness, she undermines the supposed logic of the art industry. The title Besides the Point combines the English-language phrase “beside the point” (i.e. “irrelevant”) with the word “besides” (meaning “additionally”). Toner deliberately focuses on the supposedly trivial and incidental, making them the overa ... More
Geoffrey Farmer, Las Crónicas del Vampiro, 22 de noviembre de 1973 , (detail) (2010 – 2025). Audain Art Museum Collection. Gift of Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa.
WHISTLER, BC.- Phantom Scripts revisits three works by Geoffrey Farmer from the Audain Art Museum’s Permanent Collection — Las Crónicas del Vampiro, 22 de noviembre de 1973 (2010 – 2025), La Política de las Apariciones (2012 – 2025), The Good Sweeper (2017 – 2025)— reframing them through newly composed scripts, annotations, and didactic texts authored by the artist. The texts function as interjections — speculative, contextual, poetic — that re-examine and complicate the earlier works. In doing so, Farmer explores how art can be returned to, re-read, and re-situated under shifting historical and ethical awarenesses. This exhibition is a return — not only to Farmer’s past works, but to the evolving conditions in which they are understood. Phantom Scripts highlights the artist’s curiosity to revisit the assumptions, forms, and the silences embedded in his earlier ... More
MARGATE.- Shown in the Sunley Gallery, Bisi (2023) and Untitled (2023–4) echo across seas and histories, connecting the female body to the movements of people, objects, and ideas. Leigh's practice across sculpture, video and installation, explores Black feminist thought, vernacular architecture, and the histories and lived experiences of the African diaspora—centring women's unacknowledged acts of labour, community and care. Bisi (2023) honours the late Nigerian curator Bisi Silva (1962–2019), whose vision and influence shaped contemporary art on the African continent and beyond. The sculpture is an anonymous, armless female bust with closely cropped hair and stands at 2.7 metres tall. Its hollow skirt, scaled directly to fit the artist’s body, reflects Leigh’s interest in the skirt as a vessel. In Untitled (2023–24) a ceramic torso, again armless, with a perfectly round afro, sits atop a skirt composed of 313 ceramic cowrie shells. Long associated with women’s ... More
Nicola De Maria, Regno dei fiori – Sorridi faccia, 1984-85, 190 x 140 cm.
MILAN.- With this exhibition, Tornabuoni Arte pays tribute to two masters of color—two painters long represented in the gallery’s collections, who in the second half of the twentieth century made light their subject and abstraction their poetic universe. Through atmospheric canvases such as Dorazio’s Reticoli and De Maria’s Sono un pittore di casette (1982); gestural works like Dorazio’s Nebulae and De Maria’s Testa baciata dagli angeli belli (1990–91); and more playful compositions, such as Arcanciel nuovo I (Dorazio, 2001) and Romanticismo segreto ribelle (De Maria, 2000–05), the unprecedented pairing of these two artists suggests an imagined passing of the baton during the two decades in which their careers overlapped. Born in Rome in 1927, Dorazio took his first steps in the art world within the Marxist circles of the capital during the 1940s and ’50s. In search of “new chromatic relationships”, he studied the “dynamic and graphic ... More

Drawing from Ebbesen’s practice, the exhibition brings together new and older works featuring angels with one wing, ... More

Living with Long COVID opens at the Museum of Vancouver VANCOUVER, BC.- The Museum of Vancouver (MOV), in collaboration with Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) Faculty of Health Sciences and the Post-COVID-19 Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network (PC-ICCN), announced the opening of Living with Long COVID. The exhibition invites visitors into the often-invisible world of those living with the life-altering effects of a COVID-19 infection.
