LONDON.- Alison Jacques presents a solo exhibition of new work by Lorna Robertson (b.1967, lives and works in Glasgow). Her first solo show in London includes new paintings made with a combination of oil paint, watercolour, collage and linseed oil on canvas and paper. These paintings sit somewhere between abstraction and figuration, as Robertson describes, ‘a tangled game of hide-and-seek that plays with the visibility and readability of an image’.

LONDON.- David Zwirner is presenting The Monkey, an exhibition of new paintings by Belgian artist Michaël Borremans, taking place at the gallery’s London location. In these works, Borremans continues to explore surface and artifice in his careful consideration of mise-en-scène, combining technical mastery with subject matter that defies straightforward interpretation to create works that are simultaneously humorous and unnerving, familiar and enigmatic. This is Borremans’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery and his second at David Zwirner London.

NEW YORK, NY.- Co(r)respondences: Constructive Affinities/Painting as Surface is the second iteration of a curatorial idea driving group shows organized by structural affinities rather than art historical links. In this occasion works by artists represented by Nara Roesler Gallery are installed in dialogue vis-à-vis works by significant international artists, following two complementary aspects: the primacy of constructive-driven compositions, and painting as a singular understanding of surface.

TILBURG.- Today’s world is marked by a fascinating interaction between the physical, the virtual and the social. Discussions about beauty ideals, the impact of technology on our self-image, and dialogues about cultural identity and gender roles are at the heart of SHAPE – body, fashion, identity at the TextielMuseum in Tilburg. The exhibition centres around the malleability of the body and the role of textiles and fashion in creating identities. Well-known fashion designs by artists such as Iris van Herpen are presented alongside the puffer coat from the popular series And Just Like That, digital fashion, body-related art, AI and intriguing installations created especially for this exhibition in the TextielLab.

        Van Gogh never got to enjoy his own historic success as an artist (even though we've been able to imagine what that moment might have looked like). But it turns out that those of us who have appreciated his work have been missing out on some critical details for more than 100 years.I'm not easily impressed, OK?I know Van Gogh was a genius. If the point of this were "Van Gogh was a mad genius," I would not be sharing this with you.

In 125 years, millions of people have looked at this painting. No one really saw it until recently.

Marshall Allen of the Sun Ra Arkestra onstage in Brooklyn on Oct. 22, 2021. (Nate Palmer/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- In late June, the Sun Ra Arkestra was onstage at Roulette in Brooklyn, swinging its way through “Queer Notions,” a jaunty big-band tune by saxophonist Coleman Hawkins. The rendition hewed closely to the relaxed, seesaw riffing of the original, recorded by Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra in 1933. But there was one prominent difference: the barrage of bleeps, whooshes and wobbly theremin-like tones emanating from an EVI — short for electronic valve instrument — played by Marshall Allen, the multi-instrumentalist and longtime Arkestra mainstay who had recently celebrated his 100th birthday.

Figurative rock art – art that presents lifelike representations of subjects – provides visual insights into ancient cultures, beliefs and societal practices, offering a direct window into human cultural evolution.

In an article published in the journal Nature today, we present a novel approach to date cave paintings.

Frida Kahlo’s art was always revealing the dramatic events in her life, and the strong feelings they produced within her: the chronic pain and health problems produced by the accident she suffered at 18, the often counterproductive efforts to ease them, and the strong but complicated relationship she had with her husband and fellow artist, Diego Rivera, which was constantly in the public eye and intertwining with their artistic processes.

BRUSSELS.- The title of Esther Kläs’ fourth exhibition with the gallery — As of Now — hints at a similar kind of duality, or threshold. Things that are fixed, but which could also shift. A phrase that, on the one hand, means the here and now, but on the other, change and possibility. The idea that, henceforth, things can be different. Today and tomorrow, encapsulated in three brief words.
