NEW YORK, NY.- The traditional summer lull in the art gallery calendar typically spurs a rash of phoned-in group shows, a chance to drag unsold works out of storage and repackage them under limp catchall themes.

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.

As part of C-Project, the couple wined and dined the creative cohort, which included John Baldessari, Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, RoyLichtenstein, Dorothea Rockburne, Ed Ruscha, and James Turrell,...

Sometimes, all we might need is the internet and a witty mind to solve a long-standing mystery. Recently, a London-based actor and filmmaker named Andreane Rellou solved a century-old mystery that had been puzzling the curators of Brighton Museum in the UK for years. Rellou, who goes by @andreaneoftheisland on TikTok, shared a video about her venture as an "accidental detective" and it gained over 530K views. When Rellou spotted a couple of Fabergé artifacts, photographs of two unknown women, she felt the urge to investigate who they were. Surprisingly, her efforts paid off in solving the mystery.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It seemed to contradict comments made by Gov. Jared Polis, who said the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
