NEW YORK, NY.- Something curious happened to Matthew Barney over the past 15 years: He became underrated. The artist spent the 1990s crafting strange, gooey collisions of athletic resistance and body horror. His early Cremaster Cycle (1994-2002), an ever-growing system of films, sculptures and photographs culminating ... More |

NEW WINDSOR, NY.- Dance is notoriously impermanent. Perhaps as a reaction to that, more dancers have recently been making installations, viewable for days or weeks and only occasionally brought to life activated is the usual term with performances in situ. There is, however, another tradition of interplay between dance and visual art. A choreographer responds to work by someone else, creating movement ... More |

Goteborgs Konsthall presents an exhibition of works by Jonatan PihlgrenGOTEBORG.- The exhibition Vargtimme (Hour of the Wolf) features artist Jonatan Pihlgren. Pihlgren primarily works with painting but also engages in sculpture and performance. He has gained attention for his expressive painting, unique style, and artworks where everyday motifs intersect with whims, dreams, and fantasies. The exhibition will showcase both previous and entirely new works. One could say that I explore different ways of understanding our reality. I attempt to expand narratives and perspectives on life that I find intriguing. Some are dark, others are light. Everything that meets within me, in my mental experience of the world, meets on the canvas, says Jonatan Pihlgren. Jonatan Pihlgrens artistic works explore a stark reality full of ideals and shortcomings. Many of his paintings are personal and have connections ...

More Tony Albert appointed Artistic Director of 5th National Indigenous Art TriennialCANBERRA.- The National Gallery has announced one of Australias foremost contemporary artists Tony Albert as the Artistic Director of the 5th National Indigenous Art Triennial.

More Maruani Mercier to exhibit works by Marina Adams, Joanne Greenbaum, and Anne TruittKNOKKE.- Maruani Mercier will present Light As Space featuring the work of three prolific American artists: Marina Adams, Joanne Greenbaum, and Anne Truitt. This is the second group show organized for the gallery by New York-based curator Raymond Foye, who explains, Contemporary art is inextricably linked to context and precedence. One of the pleasures of a group show is examining the connections, influences, and reverberations of artistic circumstances. The exhibition title is taken from Truitts description of her work, with its connotations of luminosity, colour, and volume. The artists in this show remind us that the values of freedom begin on the most personal level; they also remind us that developing a personal aesthetic and insisting on its legitimate place in the world is part of the struggle of the artist. Each of these artists ... More Not your usual secondhand book saleNEW YORK, NY.- Robert Gottlieb didnt just edit books. He voraciously read and collected them. On Saturday, a portion of his personal library his books on show business were sold at a fair in the lobby of the Metrograph theater on Manhattans Lower East Side. When Gottlieb, who died in June 2023 at 92, wasnt heartlessly lancing thousands of words out of Robert Caros biographical volumes or marking up the manuscripts of Toni Morrison and Salman Rushdie, he loved watching movies. Along the course of his career, he built a vast collection of books on Hollywoods golden age. His family was unsure what to do with the collection until earlier this year, when they started talking with Metrograph, a two-screen cinema that is a pillar of the downtown art house scene. Visitors lined up to buy My Life with ... More Christian Dior will be showcased this autumn at Kunstmuseum Den HaagTHE HAGUE.- Timeless, trailblazing, elegant and influential the designs of Christian Dior (1905-1957) are all of these. Just after the Second World War, he established his own house in Paris, which soon became famous, and he quickly took the fashion world by storm. His New Look, with its full skirts, changed fashion, and his silhouettes were worn from Paris to London, New York, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. His successors Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri have continuously perpetuated his visionary boldness. Their talent and boundless creativity have left an indelible mark on the unique history of the House of Dior. The ideas of the founding-couturier are still very much alive, and this will be showcased this autumn at Kunstmuseum Den Haag, says curator Madelief Hohé. His ... More Ha'way man! Wor dialects are alreetSUNDERLAND.- North-east dialects are flourishing according to a new book written by an academic at the University of Sunderland which uses data from the online forum Ready to Go. Dr Mike Pearce, Senior Lecturer in English Language and Dialectologist at the University, noticed that many of the messages on the site were rich with local linguistic features and wondered if this untapped resource could form the basis for an up-to-date description of north-east English. Mike said: One of the things I wanted to show in this book is that many well-known dialect features which have sometimes been seen as old fashioned or dying out are alive and kicking here. Many of these features have survived in the north-east and been lost in other parts of England. For example, at one point in history every English speaker would ... More From Berlin to Paris on the night train: A retro-romantic journeyNEW YORK, NY.- Step 1: Board the train. Step 2: Climb into bed. Step 3: Wake up at your destination. That might sound like a dream from the distant past for many travelers, but its a growing trend in Europe. Although many night trains were killed off by the rise of low-cost airlines in recent decades, they are on their way back, thanks in part to greater awareness of the environmental impact of flying, as well as a growing interest in slow travel. This spring, a new Paris-Berlin connection caught my eye a Nightjet operated by the Austrian railway ÃBB. That renewed overnight route made headlines when it started up in December after a 13-year absence, with the French transport minister at the time, Clément Beaune, among its first passengers. It was magnificent, he said afterward. We need projects that are positive, ecological and European. ... More |
