Sofonisba Anguissola, Portrait of a Canon Regular, ca 1554/56. Oil on wood. NM 7724.
STOCKHOLM.- Nationalmuseum has purchased a portrait painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Sofonisba Anguissola. This is the first work by a celebrated fifteenth-century woman painter to enter the museum’s collections. The portrait, which represents a man in priestly garb, will be on view in the galleries from September 16th. Sofonisba Anguissola (1532–1625) became famous as a portraitist during her lifetime, as much for her sharp observation of reality as her ability to portray human emotions. Raised in a noble family in the northern Italian town of Cremona, she received a well-rounded education and, unprecedented at the time, she was sent outside the family home to study painting. Among her earliest works are several self-portraits and portraits of family members, whereby she honed her skills. The newly discovered portrait acquired by Nationalmuseum, on the other hand, depicts a so-called canon regular of the ... More

Eduard Arranz-Bravo, Zumero du Senegal, 1978. Oli sobre tela. Col·lecció Suñol Soler.
BARCELONA.- Barcelona’s art scene has opened its doors to a rare and intimate look at the work of Eduard Arranz-Bravo (1941–2023). The Fundació Suñol is presenting Nodos, flujos y vibraciones (Nodes, Flows and Vibrations), an exhibition that gathers twelve works from the Suñol Soler Collection—most of them never before displayed to the public. After its debut in Barcelona, the exhibition will cross borders in November, heading to the Centre d’études catalanes at Sorbonne Université in Paris. At the heart of this exhibition lies more than just paint on canvas. The works, produced during the 1970s and 1980s, reflect one of the most vibrant periods in Arranz-Bravo’s career. They also reveal a powerful triangular relationship between three figures who shaped Spanish contemporary art: Arranz-Bravo himself, the visionary gallerist Fernando Vijande, and the passionate collector Josep Suñol Soler. This bond between artist, gallerist, and patron did more than launch exhibitions; it ... More
Mariel Capanna, Cat, Hat, Sailboat, Snow, 2025 Oil on linen on panel, 13h x 11w in. 33.02h x 27.94w cm
PORTLAND, ORE.- Adams and Ollman is presenting Commonplace, a solo exhibition by Philadelphia-based artist Mariel Capanna. The exhibition explores limitations of memory, time and distance through a series of small-scale, speculative landscape paintings. Commonplace is on view through October 25, 2025, and is Capanna's third exhibition with the gallery. For this new body of work, Capanna compiles and watches vintage 8mm home movies of family vacations and road trips anonymously uploaded to YouTube. Known for the time constraints that guide her painting process and determine her compositions, the artist watches these digitized reels and races to paint what she sees. "I start each painting with no real sense of where it will land," said Capanna of her process. "My only expectation is that each painting will feel vaguely like a landscape. I guide the painting gently in that direction, allowing myself to stumble upon a horizon line, and then maintain it." Each painting is made with ... More

Irma Name, Looking for StudyBuddy, video loop, 2025.
AUBERVILLIERS.- Free to move from chair to chair is a group exhibition bringing together works around plural and unconventional approaches to education and pedagogy. Echoing contemporary art’s “educational turn” [1] (while stepping aside from its didactic rhetoric and utopian stances), the six selected artists, through oblique or fragmentary means, explore the role of education as an intimate experience, as an apparatus, a conditioning, or a socio-political stake with multiple ramifications. Education, marked by processes of transition and thresholding, extends well beyond physical and institutional boundaries. Far from the limits of the classroom, it is considered here as a space crossed by conflict and transformation, which involves the political sphere, subjectivity, the construction of self-image and collective memory. “Free to move from chair to chair" [2] is a quotation taken from a conversation between Robert Filliou and John Cage on the topic of education. ...

Carbon fibre takes new shape in Terence Woodgate's 'Lightness of Form' LONDON.- Carpenters Workshop Gallery is presenting Lightness of Form, an exhibition by acclaimed British designer Terence Woodgate, whose practice is grounded in a refined visual language that distills function into poetic abstraction. Developed in close dialogue with John Barnard—pioneering engineer and designer of the first carbon fibre Formula 1 car—this body of work meditates on the intersections of space, movement, and minimalism. Lightness of Form invites viewers into a contemplative world where form becomes a balance of aesthetic beauty with practical ergonomics. Rooted in a philosophy of reduction, Woodgate’s creations are imbued with the formal rigor and silent power of modernist sculpture, echoing the artists and architects such as Donald Judd, Eduardo Chillida, Tadao Ando, and Luis Barragán. The works on view—ranging from sculptural tables ... More
New exhibition by Inuuteq Storch deconstructs myths about Greenland PARIS.- Le Bicolore – La Maison du Danemark in Paris presents, from September 19 to November 23, 2025, the exhibition Gardiens de l’Océan, dedicated to the Inuit artist Inuuteq Storch, who represented Denmark at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024. Throughout this exhibition, Storch deconstructs the dominant narratives and preconceived ideas about Greenland, his home country, while proposing a personal, intimate, and political understanding of his environment and heritage. The exhibition articulates four major themes: the sublime, intimacy, intergenerational knowledge, and the colonial past as well as the colonial future. Each theme is explored across a selection of works that are part of the emblematic series Keepers of the Ocean, Soon Will Summer Be Over, and Anachronism. The first immersive space features three large lightboxes displaying striking images—a ... More
Mönchehaus Museum: Kaiserring anniversary, scholarship, and new Director GOSLAR.- In 2025, the Mönchehaus Museum Goslar marks the 50th anniversary of the Kaiserring, one of Europe’s most prestigious contemporary art awards.

The 2025 Kaiserring of the City of Goslar will be awarded to renowned sculptor Katharina Fritsch, in recognition of her lasting impact on contemporary sculpture. Known for her figurative forms and striking use of monochrome color, Fritsch’s work operates in a space between familiarity and alienation. “The character of her works – their chosen scale, apparent simplicity, ...

Tom Burr's new exhibition 'Paul' reimagines Pasolini's unfinished film GRAZ.- In Paul, Tom Burr works with Pier Paolo Pasolini’s unrealized film on the life of Saint Paul—a script drafted in 1966 that reimagines the apostle not in robes and desert dust, but in a trench coat and city streets, striding through the hard geometries of Paris, Rome, Geneva, and New York. Pasolini’s Paul is a man undone by light, revelation, and the unbearable weight of seeing too much, too clearly. Burr takes up this figure—not as saint, but as a fault line of unrest and longing, of vision turning against itself. He recasts Paul’s infamous blinding on the road to Damascus as something different from divine revelation: a violent unfastening—from certainty, from state-sanctioned belief, from the straight lines of power. Echoing the film’s unfinished state, Paul embraces incompletion as a generative method for pushing inherited fragments and unresolved ideas into motion. ... More

Alongside this, three solo exhibitions will feature both international and Finnish perspectives. British artist Oliver Beer will unveil a video opera set among prehistoric cave paintings, where eight singers from across the world perform songs tied to their earliest musical memories.

Sky Hopinka's 'Fainting Spells' explores Indigenous mythology in new Guggenheim Bilbao exhibition BILBAO.- The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is presenting Sky Hopinka: Fainting Spells, the last exhibition in this year’s Film & Video program. Fainting Spells (2018), a film by the artist Sky Hopinka (Ferndale, Washington, 1984), explores the creation mythology of Xąwįska, or Indian Pipe Plant, also known as “ghost flower” or “corpse plant.” This medicinal plant is traditionally used by the Ho-Chunk people of Wisconsin to revive those who have fainted. It is also emblematic of Indigenous identity, knowledge, and culture and can be linked to the cycles of life and death and the spiritual world. Despite his extensive research, Hopinka could not unearth an origin myth for the plant and instead created one to engage with and reclaim the practice of mythkeepers and mythmaking in his own Indigenous culture. This three-channel video begins with a handwritten poem ... More
Rosa Barba's 'Meaning Distances' exhibition opens 25 FPS Festival in Zagreb ZAGREB.- Rosa Barba's exhibition Meaning Distances opens this year's 25 FPS Festival at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, bringing together a selection of sculptural film works. Barba’s conceptual explorations of film probe historical records, personal narratives, and the sensory experience of cinema and sound, often by recording natural landscapes and human-made changes to the environment. Landscape acts here as a pivotal actor in relation to transforming socio-political, cultural and architectural situations. Using performative framing as a strategic device, her films question the instability of knowledge, explore myths, and scientific experiments. Rosa Barba was born in Italy. The artist currently lives and works in Berlin. She studied at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne followed by a fellowship at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, ... More
Singapore Art Museum unveils two collection-based exhibitions Talking Objects and The Living Room SINGAPORE.- From September 12, 2025 to July 19, 2026, Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents two exhibitions—Talking Objects and The Living Room—that explore the material and ephemeral dimensions of contemporary art.

Freddie Robins: Apotropaic at the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College PORTLAND, ORE.- Over the last thirty years, celebrated British textile artist Freddie Robins has garnered a reputation as a “radical” knitter—a conceptual materialist whose handmade objects and assemblages are as political as they are humorous, and spiritual. Robins explains: “Knitting is my way of interpreting and coming to terms with the world that I inhabit. It sits between my internal world and the physical world, like a form of comfort, or rather, discomfort. My knitting practice questions conformity and notions of normality. I use knitting to explore both contemporary gender and the human condition.” Gazing upon Robins’s soft constructions arouses a dreamy return to childhood. Absorbing the work slows our perception of time, and as we concede to knitting’s temporality, an internalized softness ensues—the supple experience of attention. Knitting ... More
