The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Friday, November 29, 2024 Exhibition celebrates the cultural significance of Jeff Wall's work Jeff Wall portrait. © White Cube (Theo Christelis). LONDON.- Marking 30 years of collaboration with Jeff Wall (b.1946, Vancouver, Canada), White Cube opened a major solo exhibition of the artist’s work at the Bermondsey gallery. Titled ‘Jeff Wall: Life in Pictures’, the show celebrates the cultural significance of Wall’s work and how he challenged the conventions of photography to change its course within contemporary art. It follows recent museum shows across Europe in 2024, including Fondation Beyeler (Basel, Switzerland) and La Virreina Centre de la Imatge (Barcelona, Spain), and precedes major solo presentations in 2025 at MAAT (Lisbon), Galleria d'Italia (Turin, Italy) and Museum of Contemporary Art (Toronto, Canada). Residing between near-documentary realism and compositional artifice, the subjects of Wall’s cinematographic photographs range from the urban environment to elaborate tableaux that evoke the scale and complexity of 19th-century history paintings. The exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey b ...

Photo MMFA, Jean-François Brière. MONTREAL.- Starting November 29, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) will present the Canadian premiere of the immersive video installation Ravel Ravel Interval by world renowned French-Albanian artist Anri Sala. In this work, Sala trains his lens on the left hands of two pianists performing Maurice Ravel’s (1875-1937) Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D Major: Louis Lortie and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet. The exhibition will run through April 2025, the year of the 150th anniversary of Ravel’s birth. To foster an immersive auditory experience, a chamber will be installed with several speakers that transmit two quasi-simultaneous interpretations of Ravel’s concerto. Lortie’s and Bavouzet’s hands are shot in close-up as they play the music, rest and then resume playing again. Each interpretation is accompanied by an unseen orchestra somewhere ...

Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin. PARIS.- Jean-Philippe Delhomme’s new paintings continue to explore a subtle reflection on human presence and the authenticity of the gaze. The exhibition Model Resting is organized around portraits and still lifes, with the word Model emphasizing a direct relationship with the person present and the word Resting introducing the question of inactivity. For the artist, the idea is not to paint a model in a traditional sense, through poses and artifice, as has occurred throughout art history, but to attempt to capture an individuality, a particular presence, usually through a “non-pose,” with the model choosing to get involved or not. This distinctive approach rejects any staging by painting directly from life, far from social constructions or mediations imposed by contemporary gazes. Delhomme works exclusively “from life,” in ...

Mary trained at the Slade from 1892-1896 and was part of a circle of progressive and highly educated women artists and writers that included the Syrett sisters and Gwen Raverat. She was a regular exhibitor at the N.E.A.C. where the vast majority of her output was illustration and landscape, Samuel Palmer being the greatest influence on her work. She was the subject of a small exhibition at Sheffield City Art Galleries in 1983, curated by the late Anne Goodchild, but since then nothing of Headlam's work has been seen beyond the walls of her ...

The exhibition features 30 works, including pieces from series such as Le Public du Salon (1852) and Le Public à l’Exposition (1864).

More Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg to open exhibition of works by Gary Hill Somerset House announces Spring Courtyard Commission Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst presents its 2025 exhibition program Gary Hill. Eine Frage der Wahrnehmung. WOLFSBURG.- Images and language are deconstructed and regenerated, gestures are transformed into speech, colors are exchanged and manipulated, texts are spoken forwards and backwards. From a loudspeaker membrane slowly filled with sand, we hear that a voice is buried here The exhibition Gary Hill. A Question of Perception shows how the American US-American media conceptual artist has been revealing the essence of image and language through the medium of video for more than five decades. Active since the 1970s, Gary Hill (b. 1951 in Santa Monica, lives in Seattle) is one of the key practitioners working with video , language and electronic media. With his inimitable feel for a medium’s technical and conceptual possibilities, he helped establish the liminality between video, performance and conceptual practices in contemporary art. Long before the manipulation of media became commonplace, Gary Hill’s videos repeatedly ... More Portrait of Hyzolic/Desires. Courtesy of the artists. LONDON.- For its annual Spring commission, Somerset House presents a new multi-dimensional project by Hylozoic/Desires, the cross-disciplinary collective of Himali Singh Soin & David Soin Tappeser.

Photo: René Arnold. BREMEN.- The collective of female artists entitled FORT (Alberta Niemann, b. 1982 in Bremen, and Jenny Kropp, b. 1978 in Frankfurt/Main; both live in Berlin) connects art and life in a special way. In a pointed perspective involving various techniques, they summon up stories of impressive intensity. Their works oscillate between humorous lightness and poetical profundity. Through subtle distortions, familiar scenes and objects from everyday life take on a surreal, sometimes uncanny character. Wardrobes from whose insides children’s songs can be heard. Heart-shaped balloons that glide through the exhibition. An orphaned drugstore with empty shelves—FANTASY ISLAND is not a hideaway but instead transforms the commonplace into grotesque counter-images. The exhibition presents a wide-ranging selection from the artistic production by the ... More The secrets of Van Dyck's Andalusian Horse More News Annet Gelink Gallery opens 'Steffani Jemison: Way in the Middle of the Air' AMSTERDAM.- Using movement and language as tools for material and spiritual research, Jemison’s exhibition features new and recent works exploring the physical and metaphorical phenomena of falling and floating, suspension and support. Drawing from a wide range of historical and cultural resources and references - from geology to interstellar travel - the exhibition invites the viewer to consider how the “leap of faith” operates as an aesthetic, political, linguistic, and spiritual engine. The exhibition title refers to the traditional African American song “Ezekiel Saw the Wheel,” inspired by a prophet’s mystical, revelatory vision of a flying chariot. In 1950, science fiction author Ray Bradbury borrowed the phrase “Way in the Middle of the Air” to title a short story about black Americans who secretly built rockets and escaped to Mars - and the white ... More Charmaine Poh Named Deutsche Bank "Artist of the Year" 2025 FRANKFURT.- Charmaine Poh has been chosen as Deutsche Bank’s “Artist of the Year” for 2025. Born in 1990, the Singaporean-Chinese artist and documentary filmmaker divides her time between Singapore and Berlin. In her work, she explores themes such as agency and repair, as well as the visibility and invisibility of queerness and femininity in Asia. Her work is also influenced by Eastern philosophy, media criticism, and cyberfeminism. In the fall of 2025, an exhibition dedicated to Charmaine Poh will be presented at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin. Poh studied Visual and Media Anthropology at Freie Universität Berlin and began her career in experimental documentary photography.

More Museum Tinguely presents 'String Figures: A Research Exhibition' BASEL.- Stretched between eight fingers and two thumbs, sometimes between teeth and toes, loops of string make shapes. String figures can do many things: they tell stories, they pass the time, they make the unsayable showable, they connect people. As one of humanity’s oldest cultural practices, they have inspired artists, anthropologists, and theorists. String figures have been studied as an aesthetic practice, collected as artifacts, and considered as a non-Western way of thinking. The exhibition juxtaposes historical and contemporary pieces of art with objects from ethnographic collections in order to re:search, re:define and re:signify the past and present of string figure practices. In anthropology, string figures were long regarded a universal game. As a body practice that can be found in many places of the world, it fed the epistemological fantasies ... More MASSIMODECARLO Pièce Unique opens first solo exhibition by Giorgio Griffa at the Paris gallery PARIS.- MASSIMODECARLO Pièce Unique is presenting Senza Tempo, the first solo exhibition by Italian master Giorgio Griffa at the Paris gallery. “Painting captures its time and transcends it, continuing to live beyond its era. Thought is outside of time. It acts without yesterday, today, tomorrow, without present, past, or future. It is memory that anchors time and space. Timeless. We are capable of conceiving only an endless present.” —Giorgio Griffa, Turin, November 6, 2024. With these words, Griffa invites us to rethink time not as a linear progression but as a boundless space: an infinite present that exists in constant dialogue with the past and future. For Griffa, painting is a process that extends beyond the moment of creation. It remains open, unfinished, and alive, detached from the historical context of its inception. His art resists definitive ... More Cairo Contemporary opens 'Tipo Passe' by Angolan photographer Edson Chagas BUDAPEST.- Tipo Passe by Angolan photographer Edson Chagas, is a series that addresses questions of history, culture and identity. The artist’s birthplace of Angola was subjected to colonial rule by the Portuguese from 1575 until independence in 1975. The culture and traditions of the local population were largely disregarded and ‘unseen’ by the European colonialists. Edson Chagas stages portraits of models wearing traditional African masks borrowed from a private collection. The artefacts have been extrapolated from their history and context; the sitters are dressed in contemporary clothes from street markets, complementing the colours and forms of the masks. These objects with immense ritual meaning and a compelling presence are suspended between worlds, and prompt the viewer to question the reality of what he or she is perceiving The images in this series are photograp ... More 'The Anarchist Citizenship: People Made of Stories' on view at Framer Framed AMSTERDAM.- Framer Framed presents The Anarchist Citizenship: People Made of Stories, an exhibition examining how storytelling, visual culture, architecture and social life (re)shape citizenship in Somaliland, the Somali region and its diaspora.

How can we avoid, refuse, or obscure the colonial gaze and create images challenging the status quo? Especially when so much of the visual culture produced on (the Horn of) Africa continues to enact and reproduce ideas of desire, sympathy, ... More paper positions vienna takes stock VIENNA.- The first edition of paper positions vienna concluded this past Sunday. The Viennese audience showed great interest in the fair's focus on paper, approaching the unique features of more than 80 artistic positions with curiosity and enthusiasm. Over the four days, positive feedback flowed from both gallery owners and visitors. Many praised the open, salon-like atmosphere, which sharpened the focus and allowed galleries to present works and formats rarely showcased at fairs. There was a strong willingness to embrace solo presentations, include smaller formats, and feature emerging talents, resulting in a consistently high quality of the works and displays. Some galleries exhibited paper works by artists better known for their objects, sculptures, or canvases, creating a rare and expansive sense of intimacy—like peeking behind the curtain of a familiar ...
