Light functions as a primary organizing force throughout the work. Domestic illumination, nocturnal lamplight, and mediated light from screens divide the image into overlapping zones of visibility and shadow.

"I used to half-close my eyes, trying to block my thoughts as if meditating, and then attempt to compose the picture I had envisioned."

In Cabranes, Asturias, Atelier Poem has realized the Taller Agropoetico for Foresta Collective—a space that integrates agricultural practice with pedagogy.

Jasper Johns seemed to reject the tortured, in-the-moment 'I' of Abstract Expressionism, ironically commenting on the heroism and spontaneity associated with Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning in his early work.

Across Georgia, a series of stunning frescoes traces the country's fractious history, from its early Christian origins to the Soviet-era socialist utopianism. It was through these murals that Nina Kintsurashvili first encountered art-traveling with her father, Lasha, as he journeyed to remote mountain regions to restore medieval murals and re-learn the art of fresco painting. Here, she discovered the importance of perspective, space and line work through the logic of Byzantine and Georgian iconography, absorbing a semiotic system she has adapted and distorted,

For the Escarrias-petite sisters of African descent born ten months apart in Cali, Colombia-commercial photography was in their family DNA. Their parents established a studio in their hometown that was overseen by their mother after their father's early demise. The siblings learned the family trade, and when they fled the country's civil war in 1958, they quickly reestablished the studio in Buenos Aires.

OSCAR MURILLO (b. 1986, La Paila, Colombia) has developed a multifaceted and challenging practice that spans painting, collaborative projects, video, sound and installation. Through each body of work, the artist probes ideas of collectivity and shared culture, demonstrating a commitment to the power of material presence alongside complex meditations on contemporary society. A focus on the social dimension that sits on the border between performance and events is also central to Murillo's practice.

At first glance, this curatorial oversight is hardly surprising. After all, Picasso was an atheist and Communist supporter whose ever-shifting practice seemed to chafe against centuries of religious art. Indeed, in a well-known episode from the 1940s, Picasso personally confronted Henri Matisse for accepting the Vence chapel commission.

Regina Silveira has spent the better part of three decades considering the relationship between media and meaning, particularly as it relates to Latin America. First presented in 1997, "To Be Continued..." features 100 black-and-white reproductions of photos, newspaper clippings, propaganda, advertisements, and more. Silveira nests each image into an oversized puzzle piece, which cuts off faces and scenes to leave fragments of pop culture icons, flora and fauna, and even the occasional mugshot spliced next to one another.

Taking over the colourful Casa Gilardi, Luis Barragán's last commissioned residence, built for the advertising executive Francisco Gilardi in the mid-1970s, the German artist Gregor Hildebrandt transforms the house's stylish rooms with an ever-expanding exhibition of his enigmatic works across various media. Known for transforming outmoded analogue recording media-including audio cassettes, VHS tapes and vinyl records-into paintings, sculptures and large-scale installations, the Berlin-based artist's conceptual works explore themes of memory, nostalgia and the physical representation of intangible sound and sight.

In 2011, the Colombian government ordered the creation of a national museum "to achieve the strengthening of the collective memory" around the decades-long armed conflict. That same year, it passed the Victims and Land Restitution Law aimed at providing victims with reparations and justice. More than just a curated collection of objects or artworks, the museum, scheduled to be inaugurated in 2018, was conceived as an archive of the violent civil war.

Following the tragic death of Koyo Kouoh last May, the details of her final project- In Minor Keys, the international exhibition of the 2026 Venice Biennale-were unveiled this week by the collaborative team that will carry through her vision for the show.

Galerie Nordenhake Mexico City is pleased to present Zigzags and Curves, an exhibition by Sarah Crowner that brings together her sustained research into geometry, abstraction, and the expanded language of painting. Presented across two sites - the gallery's Mexico City space and Casa Roja in Lomas de Chapultepec-the exhibition takes its title from the fundamental graphic elements that structure Crowner's visual vocabulary: the zigzag and the curve.

A poor girl who dies of a broken heart. Her perfect lover, who pretended to be poor, was actually rich and engaged to another. Sounds like the poor girl has no recourse until she becomes a vengeful spirit. It's not another superhero movie, but a ballet called Giselle. With performers from Ukraine, Italy, Spain, the USA and Japan, Giselle is a United Nations of dancers. Many have called this performance breathtaking and this is a unique chance for people to take their families to see

The project, titled 'From Desert Sand to Alpine Snow,' centers on twenty hand-knotted fiber panels first commissioned for the Tanweer Festival in 2025. Installed in a 10 by 10 meter steel frame rising six meters high, the work stood directly on desert ground, its saturated colors vibrating against the pale sand and rocky escarpments of Mleiha.
