VIENNA.- My Story opens with two previously unseen portraits of women, offering direct and surprising insights into current research on Roman portraits. The Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities at the Kunsthistorisches Museum houses around 250 Roman marble portraits. Their particular impact lies, to this day, in the immediacy with which they bring people from a distant past to life. In this special exhibition, the ancient sculptures themselves take the floor, telling us about their appearance and the central role played by an often-underestimated detail: their hairstyle. This allows us to explore key questions in portrait research—from dating to identity. The special exhibition is part of a comprehensive research project dedicated to the “biographies” of ancient sculptures. At its heart lies the question: how can a work be assessed when it no longer reflects its state upon discovery, but bears the traces of a long post-ancient history? For many portraits were altered on mult ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures today announced its newest exhibition, Cinelandia: Celebrating Mexican American Cinema, opening in the fourth-floor Marilyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg Gallery on September 25, 2027. Cinelandia celebrates Mexican American, Chicano, and Mexican contributions to American filmmaking throughout cinema history and its impact on identity and belonging within these communities. Presented within broader cultural and historical contexts, the exhibition will also examine how Mexican American filmmakers engage with other forms of artistic expression, including painting, literature, poetry, theater, and music, and how these influences shaped global filmmaking. "Cinelandia reveals the richness, range, and resilience of Mexican American and Mexican experiences, while encouraging new conversations through the enduring power of cinema," said Amy Homma, Director and President of the Academy Museum and the Academy Collection. "We ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.- LAUNCH LA is presenting Summer Meditations, featuring new works by Los Angeles–based artists Zo Frampton, Barbara Kolo, and Moti Tavassoli. Each artist's practice reflects a sustained commitment to thoughtful, deliberate art-making, where sustained labor and careful attention to process become visible in every mark. Through these new paintings and drawings, the artists transform intentional gestures into evocative imagery that invites contemplation, optimism, and emotional connection. Together, these new series celebrate the meditative nature of creative practice and the capacity of art to inspire and hearten its viewers. Zo Frampton’s most recent body of work is a series of abstract botanical still life drawings inspired by embroidery and other classic textile techniques. Zo grew up surrounded by strong creative women who taught her to sew, knit and stitch. The repetitive nature of these traditional crafts ... More
EDINBURGH.- A major international digitisation project will begin this summer which aims to create approximately 700,000 digital records of specimens held in Scotland’s natural science collections. National Museums Scotland and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh will jointly lead the creation of a network to add Scotland to the Distributed System of Scientific Collections UK (DiSSCo UK) project, thanks to over £1.8 million in funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The project in Scotland will initially run for two years and will see more than 250,000 insects from National Museums Scotland and 388,000 herbarium specimens from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh become digitally accessible to all. In addition, four further partners are already engaged in the project, namely Glasgow Life, The Hunterian, Shetland Museum & Archives and The James Hutton ... More
LIVERPOOL.- A new exhibition 70 Years of The Cavern Club is set to open in Liverpool in 2027 celebrating 70 years of one of the world’s most iconic live music venues. The new exhibition, in collaboration with The Cavern Club charts the venue’s rise from a post-war jazz club in a Mathew Street cellar, to global cultural phenomenon and the thriving live venue it is today. Internationally recognised as the birthplace of The Beatles and the defining venue of Merseybeat, The Cavern Club’s story is inseparable from that of Liverpool itself, shaped by the same social, cultural and economic fortunes as the city around it. Founded by Alan Sytner as a jazz venue, the club opened its doors on 16 January 1957 and quickly attracted big jazz names such as Acker Bilk and Johnny Dankworth. The basement stage also became home to local emerging talent, including Ringo Starr, playing drums with Rory Storm’s Hurricanes and The Quarry Men Skiffle Group, featuring John ... More
EDINBURGH.- A new display at the National War Museum in Edinburgh Castle will explore the story behind the Scottish National War Memorial ahead of its centenary next summer. On 14 July 1927, the Scottish National War Memorial was officially opened by Edward, Prince of Wales. The opening ceremony was the final act in a project that had taken 10 years to plan, fundraise, and build. The Art of Commemoration (5 Dec 2026 – 14 Jan 2029) will bring together original architectural drawings, artworks, archival materials and objects to trace the creation of the Memorial, from the earliest discussions held in 1917 through to its opening in 1927 and its continuing role in commemorating Scottish military service and sacrifice. Conceived as both a permanent record of Scotland’s wartime service and a profound expression of national remembrance, the Scottish National War Memorial, also in Edinburgh Castle, embodied ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art is presenting William Wegman: Private Show, an exhibition bringing together rare vintage photographs and video from the 1970s with later works that expand upon the visual strategies developed during the artist's formative years. After relocating to Southern California in 1970, Wegman became part of a generation of artists rethinking the role of photography, language, performance, and everyday experience within contemporary art. Working in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, alongside contemporaries such as Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, and Allen Ruppersberg, he developed a photographic practice that grew directly out of his early performances and videos. The resulting black-and-white photographs are playful and experimental, challenging the viewer's assumptions about perception and the image itself. In A Basic Guide to Lettering (1972), for example, the familiar format of an instructional guide is both literally and figuratively turned upside down in an exercise of concept ... More
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- This summer, descend from a verdant rainforest canopy to the pitch darkness of a bat cave, journey from golden prairie grasses to an invisible underground realm teeming with life, and sink from creaking ice floes to the ocean depths sperm whales call home—all without leaving Golden Gate Park. Vivid: Immerse Your Senses, a new multisensory experience at the California Academy of Sciences, transports visitors to six of Earth's most awe-inspiring ecosystems, awakening the senses and unlocking unexpected perspectives on the natural world. Vivid is a first-of-its-kind sensory experience at the Academy, rendering six unique ecosystems in larger-than-life detail through ultra high-resolution video projections, ambient soundscapes, and nature-inspired scents.

VENICE.- The open-air installation Nabatele, a floating synagogue designed by artist and architect Anna Kamyshan, premiered as a collateral event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. The project is curated by Maria Veits and Yevgeniy Fiks, and organised by the Montreal Jewish Museum. On a huge rock suspended in the air, exposed to the forces of nature, a floating synagogue hovers above the city of Venice. Visitors to the Biennale Arte 2026 will be able to witness, day and night, this symbol of eternal light in the sky shining out over the Arsenale. The Venetian synagogues of the 16th Century were confined to a building’s upper floors, where they remained inconspicuous and unseen. Nabatele, too, inhabits an elevated plain. But unlike those houses of worship of the past, this temple shines proudly for all to see. The project recalls René Magritte’s painting The ... More

MADRID.- The National Archaeological Museum in Madrid is turning the spotlight on the ancient origins of Western theater with a new exhibition exploring how Greek tragedy and Roman comedy developed—and why the stories, characters and performance traditions created more than two thousand years ago still feel familiar today. Titled “From Greek Tragedy to Roman Comedy: Classical Theater,” the exhibition opened on July 14 in the museum’s Vitrina Cero, a gallery near the entrance to the permanent collection dedicated to small, focused presentations drawn from the institution’s holdings. It will remain on view through October 18, 2026. Bringing together books, archaeological objects and museum materials, the display looks at theater not only as entertainment, but also as a powerful way of communicating ideas, shaping public opinion and promoting political messages. ...

NEW YORK, NY.- In eastern France, close to the German and Swiss borders, lies the historic city of Mulhouse. During the early 19th century, it became one of the leading centres of textile manufacture in the country.

PARIS.- A fleet of brightly painted banners will rise above courtyards, parks, vineyards and coastal landscapes across France in 2026 as part of an ambitious collaborative project inspired by Japanese artist Susumu Shingu. Known as Genki-nobori, the long, windsock-like works were created by around 100 children and young people working with professional artists through La Source Garouste, a French nonprofit that uses art to support children facing social, educational or family difficulties. Together, the participants produced 100 individual banners, transforming drawing, painting and writing into a large-scale public artwork animated by the wind. The project will travel to several prominent cultural and heritage sites, beginning with presentations in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Paris before continuing to Château La Coste in Provence, the Domaine de Villarceaux in the French Vexin and the seafront at Dinard. Shingu conceived the Genki-nobori project following the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquak ... More

Bex Arts 26 turns a historic Swiss park into a living archive of landscape and memory BEX.- Contemporary art has returned to the wooded slopes of the Parc de Szilassy for the 16th edition of the Bex Arts Triennial, transforming the nearly 200-year-old landscape into a place where geology, memory and environmental change are allowed to speak. Titled “Génies du lieu”—“Spirits of Place”—the open-air exhibition brings together 21 artists and artist duos whose sculptures, sound works, photographs and landscape interventions respond directly to the history and physical character of the park. Curated by Monique Keller and Anne-Outram Mott, the exhibition remains on view through October 3, 2026. Rather than treating the park as an attractive background for sculpture, this year’s edition asks visitors to consider it as an active participant. Its trees, minerals, views, paths and buried histories become both material and subject. The curatorial concept takes ... More
Tom Morton curates international group exhibition at GRIMM NEW YORK, NY.- GRIMM is presenting You Must Change Your Life, a group exhibition curated by Tom Morton on view at the New York gallery from June 26 to August 7, 2026. You Must Change Your Life takes its title from the final line of Rainer Maria Rilke’s extraordinary poem Archaic Torso of Apollo (1918), which has puzzled and inspired readers for more than a century. In this work, written at a time when Rilke was employed as secretary to the sculptor Auguste Rodin, the poet gazes lingeringly at a headless and limbless fragment of Classical statuary, which suddenly and without warning addresses him with the words: ‘For there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life’. Bringing together an international group of thirteen painters and sculptors, the exhibition does not seek to illustrate Rilke’s poem, but rather to trace its multiple preoccupations, ... More

Crumb, Marcel Dzama, William Eggleston, Erin Falls, ... More
Daniela Rivera debuts interactive fresco installation at MASS MoCA NORTH ADAMS, MASS.- Chilean-born and Boston-based artist Daniela Rivera creates a newly commissioned exhibition Hacia Cuando (To When), featuring a large, inclined platform floor comprised of handmade tiles fabricated in pre-Hispanic fresco traditions, an installation which operates simultaneously as painting, sculpture, and sonic device. The exhibition focuses on the migration of histories, materials, cultural objects, narratives, practices, and myths by addressing political, art historical, and material histories. Through her reinvigoration of craft tradition, Rivera aims to question history and address the historical, cultural, and colonial narratives present in these materials and their varied places of origin. By shifting the fresco’s location from its typical placement on the wall to the floor, and by hand-painting the tiles to resemble parquet flooring, Rivera creates ... More
Princeton University Art Museum presents major postwar photography exhibition PRINCETON, NJ.- The Princeton University Art Museum announces Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan, an exhibition exploring the intertwined careers of three of the most influential photographers and teachers in mid-twentieth-century America. On view in Princeton from April 19 through September 7, 2026, and then traveling, the exhibition draws on the rich photography holdings of the Princeton University Art Museum and its Minor White Archive to bring together iconic and previously unpublished color and black-and-white prints, rarely seen slides, and an array of published and archival materials that illuminate a vision of making a living and shaping a life through photography. “Photography as a Way of Life highlights a pivotal historical moment when photography emerged as a serious academic discipline and a viable artistic ...

Deconsecrated Maine church hosts major group exhibition curated by Matthew Higgs NEW YORK, NY.- Organized by Matthew Higgs, Outside is the sequel to his 2016 exhibition of the same name at Karma’s Amagansett, Long Island space. With work by nearly seventy artists, this presentation in Thomaston, Maine revisits the first show’s premise in a new landscape. As Higgs writes: The “outside” alluded to in the exhibition’s title is as much a physical place (i.e. the world around us) as it is a psychological state (as evidenced by the mercurial sensibilities of so-called “outsider” art). It is in this liminal space—between what can be measured or depicted and that which remains unknowable—that Outside seeks to operate. The artists in Outside, of many generations, both conventionally and unconventionally trained, subscribe to no recognizable ideology or tendency. If Martin Kippenberger had his “psychobuildings,” Outside has its “psychogeographies” ... More

Miles McEnery Gallery showcases early plein air works by Markus Linnenbrink NEW YORK, NY.- Markus Linnenbrink’s practice on paper has remained a core element of his creative output alongside his well-known epoxy resin pieces throughout his career. Miles McEnery Gallery is showcasing for the first time ever, a selection of these detailed paper-based compositions dating from the 1990s to early 2000s which were made au plein air in summers spent across Spain, Germany, Italy, and Greece. Inspired by the hues of the landscape of his travels across Europe, Linnenbrink’s sense of color and movement is a core aspect of these watercolors on paper. An atmosphere of airiness is produced by the delicate veils of color, and subtle natural tones, evoking a powerful feeling of capturing the moment. His unique material language emerges through balancing chance, control and the nature of the watercolor medium. Employing bleeding ... More
