The Stedelijk Museum presents the exhibition Reading Dust, by Swiss artist Miriam CahnAMSTERDAM.- 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/RosenblumFRANKFURT.- 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 HarvestMIDDELBURG.- 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 womens bodies, modern gynaecology, pain thresholds and the manifestation of this genesis in contemporary medical practice, Harvest merges some of the artists 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 gallerySAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Paul Thiebaud Gallery is presenting Karla Wozniaks debut exhibition with the gallery. The nine brightly colored, recent paintings in the exhibition embody a shift in Wozniaks 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 Wozniaks 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. ...

Fluff, a publication by Marcel Veldman that defies the conventional definition of a magazine, finds itself in a place where skating is impossible.

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.
