In a world where ideas can be generated with a click, homogeneity is prevalent. The Everyday Edition seeks to uncover fresh sources of inspiration in overlooked places.

Hackney Art Week will take place from June 4 to 14, featuring 60 artists and creatives across 50 venues in the borough, including Dalston and Clapton.

"It's an amalgamation of the Chicago neighborhood aesthetic with a Bulls fan, quite literally. It's kind of on the nose, but that's how I juxtapose the elements of my work, with the structure of a home and then a figure who is around or in the home."

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.

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.

Geddis' sculptures evoke an enigmatic tension between identity and glyph, teetering between abstraction and figuration like retrofuturistic icons, reflecting his diverse cultural influences.

Ceramic works by Nicole Cherubini emphasize motifs of collage at Friedman Benda in New York, while the Berlin show, Vital Architecture: Between Idealism and Reality, turns attention to the built environment, tracing how architectural thinking negotiates environmental conditions and history through research-driven practice. Questions of time, inheritance, and transformation run through the month.

Every terrible thing always begins in the prettiest weather. Cruelty loves a clear sky. . . . Every war starts on a perfect day. This opening number from Diane Severin Nguyen's War Songs captured the paradox of experiencing extraordinary art and cultural vitality while geopolitical crises unfold, setting the tone for the week's contradictions.

Kamrooz Aram is everywhere this year, from Mumbai Art Week to the Whitney Biennial, and critic Aruna D'Souza is grateful. She pens a beautiful meditation on his work, reading his abstract paintings as not simply a denunciation of Western modernism nor a reassertion of Islamic visual motifs, but something else entirely - something gestural, exuberant, riotous, and incomparably his own.

The RA is led by leading artists and architects, with the UK's oldest-and, crucially, free-art school at its heart. The opportunity to shape the RA's artistic programme and respond to its extraordinary gallery spaces, as well as launching the expanded Collection Gallery, is tremendously exciting.

CONDO WEEKEND BEGAN in the same way that all good British rom-coms, or Martin Amis novels, do: walking against the wind, en route to an oversize redbrick Victorian house in Earls Court, a spot that my press invitation had unabashedly advertised as being located in Notting Hill, but is an easy two tube stops away. This was the "standing" dinner to celebrate Arash Nassiri's "A Bug's Life," newly open at Chisenhale Gallery, in a renowned collector's home.

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.

In 2014, Scottish artist Andy Scott made international headlines with the unveiling of his colossal dual horse-head sculptures, The Kelpies. Completed in late 2013, they are installed in the Helix park in Flakirk, Scotland, and each of the steel heads measures 98-feet high and weighs in at a whopping 300 tons. The works have become iconic in their own right, but also exemplary of Scott's practice, which takes focus on animal forms and employs the visually and thematically weighty materials of steel or bronze.

In the story of art history-the art and artists, movements and trends-a select number of galleries have played a defining role in the evolution and trajectory of art itself. Among them, the Mayor Gallery in London is surely one, as it has maintained a position fostering and promoting some of the most significant developments in art for an astounding 100 years.
