The Stedelijk Museum presents the exhibition Reading Dust, by Swiss artist Miriam Cahn AMSTERDAM.- This fall, the Stedelijk Museum presents the exhibition Reading Dust, by Swiss artist Miriam Cahn. She evokes powerful emotions with simple brushstrokes and a vigorous drawing style. Her paintings and drawings depict human atrocities with brutal reality. Her provocative work has been exhibited worldwide, drawing critical acclaim at documenta 14 (2017), the Venice Biennale (2022) and Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2023). Miriam Cahn uses very different formats, bursts of color and enigmatic human forms to portray universal emotions such as anger, fear, loss, vulnerability and power. Cahn paints indistinct, semi-abstract figures – often fragmented and ghostly – in otherworldly landscapes, where she confronts the complexities and primary emotions of human life. From the vulnerable to the powerful, from perpetrators to victims. Her ... More
The Städel Museum is dedicating a solo exhibition to the artist duo Muntean/Rosenblum FRANKFURT.- The two artists Markus Muntean (b. 1962) and Adi Rosenblum (b. 1962) have been working together since the 1990s. In their primarily painterly oeuvre, they impressively combine their identities to create one artistic signature. The Städel Museum is dedicating a solo exhibition in its Contemporary Art Collection to the artist duo, featuring a video work and eleven large-format paintings – including two new works – whose settings are places of transit: shopping centres, airport terminals, hotels, or offices. Immersed in their own thoughts, the young protagonists stare intently at their smartphones or gaze into the distance, are in motion or look out at the viewer with boredom or irritation. The work of Muntean/Rosenblum fluctuates between the influences of past art periods and contemporary pop-cultural phenomena. While their ... More
Exhibition at Vleeshal presents the video work Harvest MIDDELBURG.- The exhibition of Clémence Lollia Hilaire at Vleeshal presents the video work Harvest, accompanied by four sculptural elements. The video brings Arnacha, Betsey and Lucy back from the dead; three young women who were key to the development of modern gynaecology in the nineteenth-century in the Southern United States. Based on personal experience and supported by research on links between nineteenth-century Black women’s bodies, modern gynaecology, pain thresholds and the manifestation of this genesis in contemporary medical practice, ‘Harvest’ merges some of the artist’s documented attempts to diagnose the condition behind severe chronic pain, with a B-movie-like revenge from the three living dead teenagers in a fertility clinic. In this clinic, their wombs are used as incubators for the cultivation ... More
Paul Thiebaud Gallery presents Karla Wozniak's debut exhibition with the gallery SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Paul Thiebaud Gallery is presenting Karla Wozniak’s debut exhibition with the gallery. The nine brightly colored, recent paintings in the exhibition embody a shift in Wozniak’s work towards abstraction, while incorporating the themes of landscape and childhood play that have informed her previous works. The exhibition is on view through November 2, 2024. Karla Wozniak’s current paintings are a synthesis of thoughts and ideas originating from her everyday life, including reflections on the childhood games and activities her daughter enjoys and the dramatic weather events – wind, rain, fire, smoke, flooding – she has experienced living in the San Francisco Bay Area in recent years, and the climate anxieties they evoke. To convey this in paint, Wozniak employs vivid colors and heavily textured impasto on her canvases. ... More

Foam presents La Fluff by Marcel Veldman in Amsterdam's Stenen Hoofd AMSTERDAM.- In collaboration with ADE, Foam presents La Fluff by Marcel Veldman in Amsterdam's Stenen Hoofd. The exhibition demonstrates the blurred lines between skateboard culture, art, and urban space through a large-scale installation. Fluff, a publication by Marcel Veldman that defies the conventional definition of a magazine, finds itself in a place where skating is impossible. This paradox—the skater in their so-called natural habitat— captures the essence of Fluff and its connection to skate culture. This installation marks the largest edition of Fluff to date, presented through stacked containers that reflect how skaters reinterpret and reclaim urban spaces. It highlights skateboarding’s ability to breathe new life into both the physical and social fabric of the city, challenging norms in the process. An autodidact photographer, ... More

Flashback
On a day like today, Italian painter Domenico Zampieri was born
October 21, 1581. Domenico Zampieri (or Domenichino; October 21, 1581 - April 6, 1641) was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese School, or Carracci School, of painters. Domenichino's work, developed principally from Raphael's and the Carracci's examples, mirrors the theoretical ideas of G. B. Agucchi, with whom the painter collaborated on a Treatise on Painting (Domenichino's portrait of Agucchi in York occasionally has been attributed to Annibale Carracci). In this image: Apparition of the Virgin and Child and San Gennaro at the Miraculous Oil Lamp, 1637-38, Cathedral of Naples.
