The Turner Prize jury is chaired by the Tate Britain director Alex Farquharson, who says: 'This year's selection presents a rich and diverse range of work, spanning installation and performance, and with a strong emphasis on sculptural practice.'
The exhibition traces both this historical development and the ways in which designers have repeatedly reinterpreted these tools. Some pieces prioritise function; others verge on the sculptural, testing how far the familiar forms of knife, fork and spoon can be pushed before usability is compromised.
The maps created by Ursula K. Le Guin include traditional elements like compass roses and mountains, but also feature mythic symbols and instructions for depicting fantastical creatures.
The exhibition, entitled Forget Me Not: South Lebanon in Memory and Motion, took place earlier this month, as this largely rural part of the Levant became a front in the US and Israeli war against Iran.
Homes of Haor by Joy Saha documents the vernacular architecture of Ashtagram, Kishoreganj, in Bangladesh's Haor region. Homes are built on naturally raised mounds that become islands during the monsoon, surrounded by seasonal floodwater.
Among the sketches on display are two tentative pencil drawings for scenes that never made it into the finished 1926 book. Shepard's published drawings are so deeply embedded in the cultural imagination that it's easy to forget they were once the product of trial and revision.
Vega created the iconic logo for the band and put it on scores of t-shirts and whatever else he could think of. The show includes not only the tees but ashtrays, thongs, baby shoes, dolls, baseball bats, keychains, surfboards, skateboards, buttons, belt buckles you get the idea!
"Technology is both the remedy and the poison," artist Cao Fei quotes Bernard Stiegler, emphasizing the complex relationship between technological advancements and their impact on human practices.
George Costakis spent three decades hunting down, and saving, thousands of Russian and Soviet avant-garde works of art-at a time when they were hidden, vilified by the state and at risk of disappearing into history.
"Games have long brought people together across cultures and centuries, creating shared experiences that connect us beyond borders, languages, and differences. Whether played on boards, performed through physical skill, explored via the spoken or written word, or navigated in digital worlds, games carry educational, symbolic, and social roles that shape how we learn, connect, and make meaning through play."
We are delighted to unite these incredible archaeological finds from across the North for our latest exhibition. From Roman silver discovered along Hadrian's Wall to 9th-century gold found by a Newcastle University student, this is a rare opportunity to see these scattered treasures displayed alongside one another.
Bassman's photographs, in fact, looked more like illustrations. She achieved this effect through darkroom experimentation and manipulation: donning a cardboard mask with a pinhole aperture, she selectively exposed portions of the paper to light, tracing the contours of the garments until they seemed to dissolve into atmosphere.
The central nave of Sant'Agostino becomes the spine of the exhibition, as the designer divides the space using white, geometric volumes through freestanding architectural forms that visitors can move through.
The first-ever exhibition devoted to the seascapes of French painter Georges Seurat brings together the largest group of these works ever assembled, 26 in total, offering a detailed look at a significant part of Seurat's work.
The exhibition positions Schiaparelli as a central figure operating between fashion, art, and performance, emphasizing her belief that dressmaking is art rather than a profession.
The paint effect was camouflage using mimicry and disruptive patterns to confuse enemy pilots. It's one image in an exhibition of around 45 paintings and posters, plus some letters and documents recording life in wartime London.
We want to make this the most comprehensive historical survey of Chinese art in the first quarter of the 21st century. That was the first exhibition to introduce Chinese experimental art to the international art world, right after the end of the Cold War.
