Sara Landry, also known as 'The High Priestess of Techno,' performed at Coachella with Blood Oath, a collective of female DJs she assembled. Her unique style and heavy industrial production have made her a power player in the dance music scene, especially after her viral Boiler Room set that garnered 10 million views.
Inframundo invites visitors to look inward and become a rock, drawing on the landscape shaped by cenotes, which are thought to be portals to the Maya underworld.
Chauvet developed 'Zapatos Rojos,' which takes the form of dozens or hundreds of pairs of red shoes publicly displayed in site-specific formations. Each pair of shoes connotes the absence of a femicide victim, or a disappeared woman or girl.
Homeowner Richard Segovia said the decision to remove Chavez's image came quickly. Segovia, who described himself as a longtime advocate for women and a supporter of young artists, said he contacted the muralist he works with immediately after a New York Times investigation detailed the allegations. UFW cofounder Dolores Huerta claims to be a survivor of Chavez's alleged abuse.
We don't eat batteries. They take away the water; they take away life. This pronouncement, in Spanish, appears in a photograph that the artist Tomás Saraceno sent via WhatsApp last month from Salinas Grandes, a high-altitude salt flat in northern Argentina. There, in one of the world's largest lithium reserves, the artist is working alongside 11 Indigenous communities to build El Santuario del Agua (The Water Sanctuary), a monumental work about the global energy transition.
It is a dance tradition, but it's very much culturally rooted. It's also for many, if not all, the people involved, a spiritual practice. But even in different (dance) groups that hold to different ways of being, we still collaborate together - we still work together to uplift the culture.
In the poem, Brontë declares an unshakable, fearless belief in something eternal. Gregor holds close to that spirit, but with one significant difference: she leaves off the final words, is Mine. Where Brontë speaks with certainty, Gregor is searching.
According to a new report from the LA Times, 10 former employees of Baca's nonprofit, the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC), allege that she misused funds from a $5 million Mellon Foundation grant in 2021. The funding was specifically to be administered over three years for the expansion of "The Great Wall" mural, a portion of which went on view at Jeffrey Deitch gallery in Los Angeles last Saturday, February 20.
Last fall, I bought a ton of marble scraps off a sculptor in Woodstock for like, $10 off Facebook. For sandwiches and cakes, crumbling asphalt parking lots are good. When I lived in Sunset Park, they demolished a building a couple blocks from my apartment, and there was a hole in the fence, so I'd go in there and find tons of cool shapes and textures of rubble.
The only thing most people know about epiphytes, if they know about them at all, is that they're rootless. That's not quite true - they develop highly specialized root systems adapted to wherever they land. In Epiphytic Elucidations at Patel Brown Gallery, Calgary-based artist Marigold Santos takes this fact as more than a metaphor. The exhibition uses epiphytes - plants that grow on other plants without harming them - as a framework for the expansive ways diasporas form through material labor.
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.
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.
"The new venue has allowed us to develop the experience of the fair-it lends itself to being more of a destination," Brett W. Schultz, the co-founder and director of Material, tells The Art Newspaper. The fair features over 70 exhibitors this year, with an especially strong contingent of Mexico City galleries that, like Material, have been around for a little over a decade.
Artist Ayelet Gal-On does not just paint; she builds, layering oil, acrylic and plaster on canvas. Gal-On's signature subjects for "Taken by the Wind, Swept by the Light," her upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery 9 in Los Altos, are white dresses that appear to hang on a line, defying the stillness of the canvas. "I love the process of playing with color," says the artist.
We were supposed to be Frieze's special guests. And we feel like we're being censored, racially profiled and discriminated against. Having worked with the fair for five years, she says she will not continue beyond this weekend.
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.
