The Venice Biennale is the world's first art biennial, and it's the reason your obnoxious art friend and that one culture vulture you know says 'BI-en-NAH-le' and not 'biennial' like most other humans to refer to cultural events that take place every two years.

Luxart is a site-specific Luminarium created by Alan Parkinson for Battersea Power Station, composed of softly glowing chambers you can explore.

The Promenade of Mermaids is a FREE, family friendly celebration that brings music, energy, life and color into Old Town Sacramento every year.

Lisa Stevens' vibrant practice revolves around ceramic sculptures inspired by sea urchins, coral, nudibranchs, and other underwater organisms, showcasing her unique artistic vision.

RŌS serves as a prototype of a sensory future where even the most functionally-engineered systems are imbued with grace, showcasing design not as a finished product but as a live rehearsal for a more harmonious reality.

The central idea is integration rather than addition. AQUA HUMAN ditches the external tanks and brings breathing, temperature regulation, and mobility into the suit's structure itself, functioning as a single synchronized system.

The South Florida Reef Tract, once decimated by dredging in the 1950s, has bounced back, a resilient sign of hope in these ecologically depressing times.

Eliasson's project poses the question, 'What does extinction or a shrinking lake sound and look like?' This framing encourages viewers to reflect on their responsibility as stewards of the lake.

Bebe, the white-winged parakeet, measures around six inches and has become an internet sensation after a video showed him exploring underwater in a custom-built submarine.

These reefs are living, breathing snapshots of a watery world that you can peek into: refreshing oases where the noise of the land falls away; in its place, an intricate and utterly at-ease slice of life that you're lucky enough to witness.

Lachlan Turczan's practice sits in the space between physics, optics, and environmental art, as he works with lasers, water, mist, and custom-built lenses to produce sculptures made entirely from light.

RED HOOK - A SPECIAL EXHIBITION - "Brooklyn Marine Terminal: Past, Present, & What's Next for Red Hook?" - will hold its opening Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Compere Collective, 351 Van Brunt St. in Red Hook. The display, hosted by Resilient Red Hook in collaboration with Pratt Institute's School of Architecture, features student work that explores alternative visions for the BMT, bringing academic insight, community priorities and design innovation together.

In Need of Seawater is not simply a documentary about poetry-it is an experience shaped by memory, voice, and lived history.

Off the deep waters of Kumejima, Japan, Steven Kovacs captured an image that would be awarded Best in Show for the 2025 Ocean Art Photography Contest. Traveling to the Okinawa prefecture in the hopes of encountering a scarcely documented species of larval goosefish, Kovacs spent nearly two weeks blackwater diving before photographing the rare moment. "Unfortunately, this beautiful little fish turned out to be incredibly uncooperative and difficult to photograph," Kovacs says.

The electronic musical composition draws on field recordings of local wildlife and environmental phenomena, sourced from archival materials along with new recordings made specifically for the installation. By transporting the sounds of the lake's ecosystem into an urban park setting, Eliasson foregrounds the fragile interdependence between human and more-than-human life, rendering audible what is increasingly at risk of vanishing.

In the language of climate, water is dialectical: It is overabundance and scarcity; needed as well as dreaded. Psychologically, it can represent the unconscious, the maternal, the prelapsarian. Artist Deborah Jack disrupts any viewer's impulse to find recreational soothing in the ocean's tidal landscape, as she openly critiques the legitimacy of cartography, empire, and ecological adaptation. Jack's six-channel video installation "a sea desalts, creeping in the collapse... in the expanse...a rhizome looks for reason... whispers an elegy instead"

Studio Millspace Text description provided by the architects. Throughout eight months of design and on-site work, we realized that what truly matters is not the completeness of drawings, but the intuition shaped by being present. Around 70% of the layout was defined early on, while the remaining 30% was deliberately left without a set functionallowing light, behaviors, and moods to participate in forming the space.

The pool doesn't sit beside the house. It doesn't occupy the backyard. It runs straight through the middle of the living space, dark-tiled and creek-like, with stepping stones crossing it at the entry. This is the organizing principle of Holocene House: water as hallway, water as climate control, water as the thing everything else revolves around.
