The true value of the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship is our brilliant, sensitive, and ever-growing community. The fellowship has been a transformative and generative place for me as an artist because of insightful conversations and sometimes even collaborations with Paul & Daisy Soros Fellows from diverse fields such as music, immigration law, theater, medicine, engineering, and philosophy.

There’s no denying that we live in an era of crisis, from geopolitical strife to economic instability and widening wealth disparity. Looming behind all of that is the ecological devastation brought on by climate change. These macro challenges have had an impact on the art market and the wider cultural sector writ large. Artists, galleries, museums, and cultural policymakers are all looking for ways to respond to these issues and change the way the art world works to foster a more sustainable future. Victoria Siddall is one of the figures at the forefront of a push for environmental change within the industry. After a nearly 20-year career at Frieze where she helped grow the art fair into the global platform it is today, she’s now the founding director of Murmur, a charity launched earlier this year that is aimed at helping the art and music industries combat climate change by funding initiatives to decarbonize, empower artists to create major societal change, and financing transformative climate work. “We’ve seen it across history: the impact of music in the Civil Rights movement, for example, or the way that visual artists responded to the AIDS crisis in New York, in the 1980s and

Sitting in a room with two 20-somethings last month in London, I realized that radical performance art is still very much alive. We were at Albion Jeune, a new gallery in Fitzrovia, in London, founded by the 26-year-old Lucca Hue-Williams, who grew up around performance artists like Vito Acconci and has studied animal works by artists in China, many of them in underground performance. Her opening exhibition last October, I Want to Believe, featuring Danish artist Esben Weile Kjær included a dance macabre, influenced by Weile’s experience with subcultures in Copenhagen. Recently, she tapped Miles Greenberg, the rising star protégée of Marina Abramović, who is also 26, to show his day-long walking performance Oysterknife (2020) at the gallery. It was part of the dual exhibition called “Twenty Four Twenty Four,”  which can be seen at all hours until July 28 through the gallery vitrine, that includes Douglas Gordon’s 24 Hour Psycho (1993), a slowed-down version of the classic Hitchcock film. After walking through the black box space of these two works, which play across from each other, and feature repetitive gestures as asynchronous movements, the image of a female artist contorting h

This piece originally appeared in Reframed, the Art in America newsletter about art that surprises us and works that get us worked up. Sign up here to receive it every Thursday. When Realism was born in the mid 19th century, everyday scenes elbowed their way into the Western canon. Before that, religious and history painting had largely reigned supreme. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, Gustave Courbet and his ilk, galvanized by a successful proletariat struggle, began focusing instead on “real” life, painting the quotidian experiences of workers and peasants with a kind of gritty naturalism. In “Day for Night: New American Realism” at the Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica in Rome, curator Massimiliano Gioni redefines Realism for the present, with all the contemporary works on view from the extensive collection of Tony and Elham Salamé of Beirut’s Aishti Foundation. Featuring some 100 artists, the show is a blockbuster survey of American figurative painting made over the last 20 years. Brimming with masterpieces, it also includes a few abstract canvases and works in other mediums scattered about. In the exhibition’s most conventionally Realist painting, Kids with Slime (20

The East End of Long Island, including the North Fork and the Hamptons, is known for its beautiful landscapes, beaches, farms, and vineyards, but that’s not all it has to offer. There is no shortage of art-forward activities for families and children to enjoy all summer long. Whether you are a summer resident or a weekend visitor, we have you covered with a list of the best art-related camps, workshops, and experiences for kids of all ages. VEME Art Studio in Greenport is a magical place to create, explore, shop, and get inspired. It features local artwork on the walls and a nicely curated selection of goods.

In April 2019, Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme were in the West Bank filming their latest installation. For the work, the artist duo, who are both of Palestinian descent, spent three years filming the dancer Rima Baransi and electronic musicians Makmakkuk, Haykal, and Julmud performing—and remixing—traditional Palestinian or Arab songs and dances while standing primarily on land under threat of annexation by Israeli settlers. The performers were encouraged to select their own bits of Palestinian culture to “sample” into fragmentary movements or melodies. But when two of the performers opted to use the same mourning song, something inexplicable happened. As one performer began to sing, several birds alighted nearby and echoed the melody. When Abbas and Abou-Rahme returned later to film the second performer, the same birds returned and again sang the melody before flying off. The experience was clarifying. Memory, history, culture and the land lie at the center of that installation, titled Only sounds that tremble through us, and the artists’ new exhibition—of the same name—at the MIT List Visual Arts Center represents a major evolution in Abbas and Abou-Rahme’s work. For nearly 15

(RE)TAIL AWAY. Sotheby’s embarks on a new journey with its first-ever retail store. The two-story 24,000-square-feet space, located at Landmark Chater, in Hong Kong’s Central financial district, is set to open this weekend, on July 27, and to burnish Hong Kong’s credentials as a global center for the arts. This project comes after the city’s auction houses reported encouraging spring jewelers sales, although luxury spending has fallen in China. Apart from paintings and other pieces of art typically associated with auction houses, Sotheby’s new “cultural playground” will be stocking books, furniture, Nike x Louis Vuitton crossover sneakers and dinosaur fossils, with prices starting at several hundred dollars. The retail section will occupy one floor of Sotheby’s new premises, while another floor will be for exhibitions. OLYMPIC TIMES. “2024 isn’t the year of the 13 moons, so we’ll console ourselves with “La Métropolitaine des 13 événements” (The Metropolitan of 13 events)—also a feast for the eyes!”, writes Le Quotidien de l’Art’s editor in chief Rafael Pic in a special issue devoted to La Métropole du Grand Paris’s cultural project for the 2024 Olympics.

By Daniel Cassady Senior Writer, ARTnews The eco-resistance is alive and well in Paris, where the Summer Olympic Games begin today. Activists have condemned Toyota‘s sponsorship of the upcoming Olympic Games with over 100 guerrilla advertisements in key locations in Paris and five other major French cities, the Art Newspaper reports, drawing attention to the automaker’s greenhouse gas emissions.  These guerrilla artworks, coordinated by Paris-based Résistance à l’Agression Publicitaire (RAP) and the Brandalism collective, criticize the Olympic organizing committee for partnering with organizations that they say are polluting the environment. The posters, installed in bus stop ad spaces between July 22 and July 25 in Paris, Lille, Lyon, Saint-Étienne, Strasbourg, and Rennes, highlight Toyota’s emissions. “As the world shifts away from fossil fuels, Toyota stubbornly continues to produce millions more oil-powered vehicles every year,” activist Sonnie Bird said in a statement posted to the Brandalism blog. “If Toyota were a country its greenhouse gas emissions would outrank all but eleven of the countries participating in this year’s Games, many of which are already on the front lines

On the night of July 25, 1964, Andy Warhol and filmmaker Jonas Mekas stood on the forty-fourth floor of the Time-Life Building and for six hours, trained a camera on the Empire State Building. 1,200-foot rolls of film later, they had Empire, an eight-hour-long stationery shot of the Art Deco masterpiece shifting beneath light and shadow, giving New York what Claude Monet gave Rouen in his famous studies, a monument to a monument. It’s worth a watch on any screen, but is best caught this weekend, when it plays from the Empire State Building itself. “As enigmatic and inspiring as its namesake point of focus, Andy Warhol’s ‘Empire’ is a monument to the epic innovations of New York’s artists and filmmakers,” Rajendra Roy, the chief curator of film at MoMA said in a statement. “An essential work in MoMA’s collection, this film changed the way we experience cinema. Time, movement and drama all find new meaning in ‘Empire’.”    Like many of Warhol’s films, Empire has no obvious narrative, functioning as an experiment in cinematic viewing, or as Warhol said himself, an opportunity “to see time go by.” It’s a chance to see a bygone New York City, too. That [...]

On October 14 of2022, Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland threw soup at the painting, housed at the at the National Gallery of Art in London, before super-glueing their hands to the nearby wall. Prosecutors also told the court that the painting’s antique 17th century Italian frame was “a piece of art in itself” and its patinated surface was damaged as a result of the protest. The judge’s bail conditions also stipulated the two activists were not to visit any galleries or museums, as well as not carry glue, paint, or other adhesive substances in public places. The National Gallery had initially said the Van Gogh painting had not been hurt, but its frame had sustained “minor damage.” The painting went back on display at the National Gallery two days after the protest. 

This year, Frieze Sculpture will showcase works by 22 prominent artists including Leonora Carrington, Theaster Gates, Yoshitomo Nara and Fani Parali (work pictured). Held inLondon’s Regent’s Park from September 18 to October 27, this year’s edition will explore experimental and socially conscious themes under the curation of Fatoş Üstek and includes a significant number of women and non-binary artists. The event is scheduled to run concurrently with Frieze London and Frieze Masters. An abandoned 19th-century warehouse in East London will be converted into affordable studios for more than 40 artists, designers, and architects. Arts nonprofit Create London is leading the effort, with design by JAM and the studio spaces scheduled to open in late 2025. The project includes workspaces, a café, and maker spaces for design, art, and architecture.

A $3 million Mellon Foundation grant is funding 30 new public art initiatives in the city of Boston. Hank Willis Thomas headlines the lineup of seven participating artists, who were selected to capture “underrepresented” moments of the city’s history. Thomas will present The Gun Violence Memorial Project, marking his second major public art commission in the city following his viral monument, The Embrace. 

The Los Angeles firm helmed by Zeina Koreitem and John May has unveiled a newly redesigned wing of the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York. Originally designed by the late I.M. Pei, the refreshed wing arrives 56 years after the museum first opened in 1968. At the wing’s new cafe, visitors can experience ceramics from the world-class collection of Louise Rosenfield, who underwrote the redesign and donated 4,000 pieces on the condition that they be used and not simply displayed.  The French Académie des Beaux-Arts has awarded this year’s Grand Prix d’Architecture to Swiss-born architect Bernard Tschumi, honoring his five-decade career. His notable works include the Parc de la Villette in Paris, Le Fresnoy in Tourcoing, and the Acropolis Museum in Athens, as well as more recent projects like the Tianjin Binhai Science Museum in China. The award will be presented on December 4 at the Palais de l’Institut de France.

Over the past year, The Metropolitan Museum of Art reported a significant rebound in local and domestic foot traffic, though international visits remain at half their pre-pandemic levels. The museum has credited its recovery to strengthened community relationships, diverse programming, and new initiatives like the 81st Street Studio for children and the Harlem Renaissance exhibition. Crucially, the museum also celebrated record attendance from people of color. Six billboards created as part of Anne Imhof’s “Wish You Were Gay” project were vandalized in Bregenz, Austria. Imhof characterized the defacement as “an act of violent aggression” and a “hate crime” against the LGBTQ+ community. The billboards, part of her exhibition at Kunsthaus Bregenz, are slated to be promptly replaced. Manhattan’s former Bayview Correctional Facility is getting a new lease on life as affordable housing. The building will be transformed by local architecture studio CookFox into Liberty Landing, a 16-story building with 124 affordable housing units for low-income and formerly incarcerated individuals. The firm will preserve the building’s Art Deco hallmarks while adding seven new stories as well as a 9,30

Chemists from Holland’s University of Amsterdam (UvA) have finally worked out how Rembrandt managed to embellish his The Night Watch (1642) painting with striking golden detail. They used high-tech spectroscopic techniques to identify the presence of pararealgar [yellow] and semi-amorphous pararealgar [orange/red] pigments in minute detail in the famous artwork. The research team concluded that the Dutch artist intentionally mixed these particular arsenic sulfide pigments with other pigments to create the golden sheen. Rembrandt used the technique to paint the golden threading in the embroidered buff coat and double sleeves sported by one of The Night Watch’s two protagonists, Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch.

Part of London Bridge, a grey steel and concrete product of the seventies, has been decorated with a new 190-foot-long mosaic.The public artwork, titled In a River a Thousand Streams, is a collaboration between Camden’s London School of Mosaic (LSOM) and British artist and designer Adam Nathaniel Furman.
