The title came from starting to look at what would be in the show and realizing that most of the works dealt with people being symptomatic, whether psychosomatically or somatically.

I see myself first and foremost as a weaver working at the intersection of craft and technology. As an Angeleno, I grew up learning how to weave in the Wixárika tradition of my matriarchal bloodline by watching my mother and my grandmother.

Much of Instagram's video content is organized around transformation-the virtual magic of the before-and-after and clips that show cause and effect. A person makes pasta from scratch in 20 seconds via edits that compress time-intensive labor.

"Anything that uplifts, empowers, or highlights women's creativity is a yes for me. The current state of the world is doing a number on women, and I want to contribute to their joy."

The concert features 'Field of Sorrow,' a new work by Juhi Bansal, which sets translations of landays, women's poetry from Afghanistan, for soprano, cello, and piano.

Finally, all the consciousness I had left was in the center of my head. It was like a little light, and finally it went click. . . . And what I saw with this was my body lashed to the wall, about ten feet away.

The Duchamp exhibition at MoMA is encyclopedic, thought-provoking, and sometimes surprising. It spans the entire sixth floor and invites viewers to engage deeply with his work.

Printed in both color and black and white, images of dancers and friends took the form of abstract portraits, movement series, and pseudo-stop-motion, featuring local artists including Sophia Ahmed, Muffie Delgado-Connelly, Kenny Frechette, Takahuro Yamamoto, Emily Jones, Allie Hankins, performances by Lu Yim, and others. Layered, dark, and moody self-portraits of Krafcik from 2025 also plastered a dark-painted wall opposite some of the other images.

Stripping audiences of their sight, the production toys with the fear of anticipation, using light touch and scent to deliver its narrative.

Navigating an industry dominated by white, cisgender, heterosexual men takes a lot of courage, thankfully, Kemah Bob is brimming with it. In 2018, she founded The Femmes of Colour Comedy Club, better known as FOC, with the aim of giving women and trans comedians the tools to take over the comedy world. The American comedian, who uses she/they pronouns, has appeared on Richard Osman's House of Games and BBC's QI. Her comedic skill is undeniable,

"We Need to Talk About the Massively Hung Zombie," read a headline in Vulture.

Moni Haworth directed the video for "Dirty Tech," in which the Sonic Youth legend hangs in an empty corporate office dotted with bits of office clutter.

Bendetta's latest single, "Headshot," captures the moment when something shifts: when violent thoughts arise, yet the urge to maintain control prevails. This track navigates themes of anger, boundaries, and the conscious decision to no longer absorb harm without letting it transform you into the one inflicting it. Rather than offering comfort or resolution, "Headshot" demands clarity: it focuses on naming feelings, standing firm within them, and refusing to downplay their significance.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the painter and multimedia artist's birth, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is presenting a one-time award of $100,000 to four artists.

Going out and demonstrating is really important. But if you don't feel comfortable demonstrating, you can volunteer for organizations, you can donate to organizations, you can sign petitions, you can call your senator. There's no excuse not to be involved on some level.

I don't know what you want to know, says Anne Imhof, three-quarters of the way into our interview. Her cautious smile, between curtains of jet black hair, changes into a sceptical pout. I have just quoted a headline at Imhof, one of Germany's most important contemporary artists, that described her 2025 New York show as a bad Balenciaga ad.

Tracey Emin is internationally renowned for her coruscatingly confessional art, which for over three decades has chronicled an often tumultuous life in various media, including painting, video, textiles, neon, writing, sculpture and installation. Born in Croydon, London, and raised in the seaside town of Margate, Emin first attracted widespread attention when, as a Turner Prize nominee in 1999, she exhibited the now notorious work My Bed (1998) provoking fierce critical debate on what art could-or should-be.

Relying on saturated planes of color and eschewing almost all minor detail, Christina Zimpel 's approach to figuration is deceivingly straightforward. With prolonged looking, the vibrant fields of color begin to evoke the effects of abstraction-recalling the historical traditions of Fauvism or Post-Impressionism-and the pose and movement of her figures take on heightened significance. Together, there is a delicate tension between the formal and emotional qualities of her work.

The path to the first New York solo show for Elda Cerrato (1930-2023), now on view at Galerie Lelong, was a long and winding one. Born in Italy to Jewish parents, Cerrato was a child when her family fled fascism in Europe for South America. Authoritarianism continued to shape her life in adulthood, as Cerrato and her husband and son were forced to leave Argentina to escape persecution at the hands of the country's military junta in 1973.
