BRUSSELS.- A pioneer of post-AI art, Christopher Kulendran Thomas has been using Artificial Intelligence technologies over the last decade to make genre-defying work that examines the foundational fictions of Western individualism. His paintings metabolise the colonial art history that came to dominate in Sri Lanka after his family, who are Tamil, left escalating ethnic violence there. Often these are shown with immersive video installations that remix propaganda and counter-propaganda into a cyclonic vortex of speculative scenarios. Safe Zone combines painting with auto-edited television to confront the historical mediums of soft power.

A collection of signed Salvador Dalí prints which spent 50 years gathering dust in a garage are set to fetch thousands at auction after being found during a clear-out.

The ten forgotten lithographs by the renowned Spanish surrealist were found in the garage of a house in Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London.

They were bought for $660 from an art gallery at a closing down sale during the 1970s and could now fetch $6,600 when they go under the hammer next month.

The seller was having a clear-out while preparing to move house abroad when he discovered the ‘treasure trove’ of artwork recently.

Flying saucers. Bigfoot. Frogs raining from the sky. Such phenomena fascinated Charles Fort, the maverick writer who scanned newspapers, journals, and magazines for reports of bizarre occurrences: dogs that talked, vampires, strange visions in the sky, and paranormal activity. His books of anomalies advanced a philosophy that saw science as a small part of a larger system in which truth and falsehood continually transformed into one another. His work found a ragged following of skeptics who questioned not only science but the press, medicine, and politics. Though their worldviews varied, they shared compelling questions about genius, reality, and authority. At the center of this community was adman, writer, and enfant terrible Tiffany Thayer, who founded the Fortean Society and ran it for almost three decades, collecting and reporting on every manner of oddity and conspiracy.

A four-year-old child accidentally smashed a Bronze Age jar into pieces at the Hecht Museum in Israel. The child and his family were visiting the museum at Haifa University last week when the boy “pulled the jar slightly” out of curiosity. The 3,500-year-old jar, which was not behind protective glass, tumbled to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

NEW YORK, NY.- The American Folk Art Museum will present the exhibition Anything but Simple: Gift Drawings and the Shaker Aesthetic, opening on September 13, 2024. The Shakers, often celebrated for their minimalist approach to design, will be showcased in a new light with this exhibition. The “gift” drawings on display represent a departure from the simplicity typically associated with Shaker material culture. Made by women in the mid-19th century and believed to represent divine messages, these intricate and vibrant drawings offer a unique glimpse into the interior world of the Shakers.

ZURICH.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber will present Signs, a group of important new paintings by New York-based artist Wyatt Kahn, the gallery’s seventh exhibition of his work. Kahn’s new body of work glows with restrained color. After more than a decade working in a severely reduced, largely all-white palette, the artist here presents a suite of shaped, deconstructed canvases in an etiolated spectrum of greens, oranges, yellows, and blues. Made by adding paint to a mixture of beeswax and Turpentine – a procedure borrowed from Brice Marden – and applying it flatly with minimal visible brushwork, the smooth, matte surfaces absorb ambient light with stately, quiet authority.
