MADRID.- The Prado National Museum today opened "Change of Form: Myth and Metamorphosis in José de Madrazo's Roman Drawings," an exhibition showcasing the intriguing works of José de Madrazo y Agudo, the museum's first artistic director. The exhibition, running from March 10th to June 22nd in the Villanueva building, offers a unique glimpse into Madrazo's fascination with classical mythology and its reflection of a turbulent era. During a time when Europe was reshaped by Napoleon and Goya captured the horrors of war, Madrazo, then in exile in Rome, explored the transformative power of myth. The exhibition features a collection of drawings and portraits from the Daza-Madrazo collection, acquired by the Prado in 2006, highlighting Madrazo's ability to interpret ancient stories through a contemporary lens. The exhibition is structured around two distinct sets of works, prompting questions about their original purpose. One set appears to be preparatory sketches for engravings, while the other, semi ...

VIENNA.- Time and nature they play a central role in human life, and they are the focus of the spring special exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The spectacular presentation explores the connections between people and their environment in sixteenth-century Europe and how these were depicted in art. Of particular interest is the visualization of natures annual cycles: the seasons and the months. The Renaissance witnessed many important changes: population growth, Humanism, technical and scientific developments, as well as expeditions by land and sea to distant corners of the globe.

ZURICH.- A sumptuous floral still life from a pioneer of 17th-century floral still life painting and one of the most talented painters in this genre, was recently rediscovered in a private collection and will be offered in the 28 March auction at Koller.

Stefan Panhans / Andrea Winkler, Oh-oh-oh, Yeahh? installation view. Courtesy: The artists and Drawing Room, Hamburg.
HAMBURG.- Most artists endure a frugal life because they participate in something almost sacred: human creativity. So they accept an existence under pressure, full of missions and self-exploitation. The two films »OPEN CALL« and »Anima Overdrive« and the associated installation by the artist duo Stefan Panhans & Andrea Winkler, who live in Berlin and Hamburg, revolve around these themes. Stefan Panhans & Andrea Winkler work together on transdisciplinary, post-cinematic projects that include filmic elements and sculptural, site-specific installations. They examine the hypermedia character of our present, the (power) structures behind the processes of digitalization and their effects on our thinking and our bodies, as well as everyday racism and the increasing precarization of working conditions. Stefan Panhans & Andrea Winkler are cooperating on transdisciplinary, post-cinematic projects that include filmic elements and sculptural, site-specific installations. They investigate the hypermedia impr ... More |

DALLAS, TX.- Fred Clarke is many things: a successful Canadian accountant, entrepreneur and philanthropist ... and a loyal supporter of minor hockey, the farm system of teams across Canada that has fed the NHLs talent pool for generations. The founder of the Clarke Group in Mission, British Columbia, Clarke purchased a collection of hockey sets in 1992 for $200,000. While the sets went on loan to the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame, the money from the transaction went to support minor (amateur) hockey across the province. All the money went to support minor hockey in British Columbia, says Kacie Clarke, Freds granddaughter. My grandfather, whos now 90, has always been a hockey fan and an advocate for his community. The money he spent to acquire the [card] sets was used to help finance equipment and travel expenses for various minor hockey organizations. Those sets will be back in play March 29 when ... More | |

Jan St. Werner, VibraceptionInvestigations in Wavespace.
ZAGREB.- The Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb presents a solo exhibition by Jan St. Werner, a researcher, sound artist, and composer of electronic music, titled VibraceptionInvestigations in Wavespace.

José Yaque, 'Desembocadura del RÃo de Buenaventura' 2025, (detail).
HAVANA.- GALLERIA CONTINUA Havana is presenting Muro de sonido (Wall of Sound), a solo exhibition by Cuban artist José Yaque. This pictorial and spatial immersion engages in dialogue with energy, matter and the vibration of color. For several years, Yaque has developed a deep interest in the study of minerals and tectonic formations of the Earth, exploring the origin of color from mineral pigments. In his works, he has evoked the geological processes that shape the natural world and has captured the energy of nature from its entrails. This fascination with geology has translated into a methodology where paint flows freely, mixes and settles with autonomy, allowing chance and gravity to play a crucial role in the construction of the image. In this way, he obtains an organic relationship between the different acting elements, and the resulting painting becomes a reflection of the processes of nature. On this occasion, his lyrical abstraction ... More |

More Frans Masereel Centrum becomes MASEREELKASTERLEE.- Starting in March 2025, Frans Masereel Centrum in Kasterlee (Belgium) will be known as MASEREEL. The renaming accompanies the recent confirmation of MASEREEL as a centre for contemporary art at the intersection of creation, development and dialogue. At the core of MASEREELs mission lie two autonomous yet interconnected programmes: on the one hand, an artist-driven exhibition and commissioning programme, and on the other, an international residency programme for artists and critics. Over the course of many conversations with artists, staff and peers, it became clear that our former name lacked the same clarity and dynamism. The sustainable transformation our organization has undergone since mid-2019 called for a new name. Moreover, without sacrificing our rich history, and that of printmaking, the name MASEREEL ... More Adams and Ollman presents 'Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue'PORTLAND, OR.- Color is a foundational concern in Katherine Bradford's (b. 1942, New York, NY; lives and works in Brooklyn, NY and Brunswick, ME) work. Her paintings begin with broad washes of reds, blues, greens, and purples across the canvas surface. From their beginnings as pure, unbridled, and luminous color, Bradford's paintingswhich distinctly occupy a space between figuration and abstractionslowly reveal mood, suggestion, or relationship. In "Six Fires," Bradford creates an otherworldly scene to consider the very essence of color itself: an evocative field of blue is simultaneously sea, sky, and space. Figures lit as if by moonlight ponder the primary colors that are not inherent properties, but rather perceptions of the fires that Bradford has painted for their warmth. Bill Traylor (b. 1853, Benton, AL; d. 1949, Montgomery, AL), a self-taught ... More Michelle Uckotter's "Moviestar": A multi-platform exploration of violence, eroticism, and feminine identityLOS ANGELES, CA.- The whole of Michelle Uckotters (b. 1992) Moviestar unfolds in three interconnected parts: a solo exhibition at Matthew Brown, a parallel exhibition at Marc Selwyn Fine Art juxtaposed with an exhibition of works by Cameron (19221995), curated by Uckotter, and the debut of a short film by the same title directed and co-written by Uckotter and poet Riley Mac. The paintings in Moviestar, inspired by stills from the film, position the viewer as both witness and accomplice, immersed in Uckotters cinema of painting. These works, rendered in dusky jewel tones of oil pastel, show a sequence of eventsperhaps a night of partying gone very, very wrong, or a Manson-style cult ritualthat devolve into a fever dream of violence and eroticism. These scenes, in both content and sensation, are reminiscent of 1970s B-horror and exploitation ...

The artists specially adapted tools and brushes, previously used to create large-scale, expressive gestures in his earlier works, are now applied with a refined, controlled touch, achieving an all-over treatment of the surface that suggests woven textiles finding inspiration in revered tapestry collections of the Manufacture des ...
