dear designboom reader,

catching up on the art events and fairs taking place these days, designboom’s guide rounds up what to check out during frieze art week 2023 before it ends today, including julie mehretu's biblical verse-inspired exhibition at white cube london. visitors can also swing by 180 studios to glimpse how es devlin transformed the space for gucci cosmos through a series of the maison's archival pieces.

gucci’s rightful home is in florence, italy, where anish kapoor also showcases his monumental sculptural works inside palazzo strozzi and its renaissance courtyard. if visitors still have time, they can spend a day in milan to see bulgari celebrate its 75 years of serpenti jewelry with live robot arm chiseling and other sensorial installations in its exhibition near arco della pace.

next week, paris takes the reign with the debut of design miami/, already brewing with ronan bouroullec's lamp show at the galerie de sèvres which reflects patterns found in constellations. keep an eye out for the stories we have in store occurring in the french capital, and in the meantime, take a look at designboom’s highlights on what not to miss at the inaugural parisian edition.

thanks for reading!
