SAO PAULO.- Throughout her work, Marilia Furman has been raising questions about the crisis ridden and imminently collapsing nature of the system of commodity production (or, late capitalism). Whether through appeals to immediate sensibility via mechanisms that put raw materials like glass, paraffin, and ice into conflict; or through the...

LONDON.- Lehmann Maupin will present Astral Sea, an exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Teresita Fernández. Featuring a series of glazed ceramic pieces and new sculptural paper panels, Astral Sea extends the artist’s interests in the confluence points of the cosmos, land, and water, as seen through the lens of an embodied sculptural landscape. Astral Sea will inaugurate Lehmann Maupin’s temporary location at No.9 Cork Street, located in the heart of Mayfair, while the gallery’s permanent space at Cromwell Place undergoes renovation this fall. Concurrent to the exhibition, Fernández’s work is on view at SITE Santa Fe in the two-artist exhibition Teresita Fernández / Robert Smithson. Co-curated by Fernández, the exhibition features over 30 of her works and marks the first time Robert Smithson’s oeuvre has been placed in conversation with an artist working today.

TOKYO.- MAKI Gallery will present London-based artist Johnny Abrahams’ inaugural solo exhibition in Japan, titled 24 Colors for Junichi, at our Tennoz gallery space. Abrahams’ abstract paintings initially appear as compositions of forms and colors, yet upon closer inspection, a depth emerges through their tactile materiality. His use of raw hessian canvas, the texture of his layered paint, and the subtle ebb and flow created by the palette knife generate slight yet certain never-settling oscillations that bring his paintings to life. It is not rigid perfection that he aims to create in his paintings, but rather an unpredictable nature that counterbalances strict intention with accidents. In this way, Abrahams succeeds in making the painted geometric forms more immediate, relatable, and present, leaving traces of his own actions and sentiments.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Archaeological discoveries often bring the past to life in vivid and unexpected ways. While conducting an excavation in Jerusalem, archaeologists uncovered a monumental structure that not only enriches our understanding of ancient architecture, but also ties closely to biblical narratives. This significant find sheds light on the topographical and historical aspects of one of the oldest cities in history: the City of David.

Archaeologists in Spain have discovered a possible hidden Roman Empire from over 2,000 years ago.

A team of researchers from the University of Cádiz started exploring an area of the Sierra de Cádiz region last year hoping to just find a few remnants of ancient life there.

Instead, they were stunned to come across 57 Roman Empire-era sites — which they believe could all be connected, based on trade and communication routes, according to the Independent.

Archaeologists in Spain discover possible hidden, 2,000-year-old Roman Empire

Tracing their ancestral home to the picture-perfect Channel Islands, the Chumash likely descend from some of the Americas' earliest settlers. When I was in elementary school, my class read a book called Island of the Blue Dolphins about a young Indigenous girl who was stranded on an island off the coast of California. The novel is based on the true story of the "Lone Woman of San Nicolas", who supposedly lived alone on San Nicolas Island for 18 years during the mid-19th Century, after the rest of her native American tribe was relocated to the mainland by missionaries.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

Archaeological sites in Mexico City have street addresses, not GPS coordinates, as sites tend to elsewhere. At this particular address, behind the green door, next to the Calmécac, archaeologists uncovered the Temple of Ehécatl-Quetzalcoatl, a structure dating from about 1450. The temple, whose distinctive, round shape was described by Spanish priest Bernardino de Sahagún, was located about 80 feet north of where Spanish colonial maps had originally shown it to be. Ehécatl was a wind god sometimes depicted as a version of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent who had already been worshipped in central Mexico for more than 1,000 years by the time Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325. In fact, snake imagery abounded at the temple in antiquity. Spanish chroniclers described the building as having a conical roof made of straw, resembling a coiled snake. To enter, worshippers passed through a stone arch carved to resemble a snake’s mouth, complete with fangs. The Spaniards associated serpents with the Garden of Eden story, regarding the reptiles as evil, and usually destroyed snake images wherever they saw them. But, if the temple’s snake arch wasn’t destroyed by the Spaniards, it may still lie buried beneath a row of buildings behind the Metropolitan Cathedral, awaiting discovery.

NEW YORK, NY.- P·P·O·W announced the co-representation of Portland-based artist Srijon Chowdhury with Ciaccia Levi, Paris. Chowdhury’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Tapestry, will open September 6. Oscillating between a highly stylized technique and uncanny realism, Chowdhury's prismatic compositions mine elements from daily life to find the universal in the quotidian. Combining interests in philosophy, religion, ecology, and art history, Chowdhury’s intensely detailed, saturated, and hypnotic narrative compositions transform the artist’s immediate environment into immersive dreamscapes where the boundaries between our physical reality and the metaphysical, mythological and the supernatural dissolve.
