When the Belarus Free Theatre opened \u201cOfficial. Unofficial. Belarus.\u201d at La Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista di Venezia earlier this month, it marked the first time Belarus had a presence at the Venice Biennale in six years\u2014and the first time it appeared there not as a state, but, as curator Daniella Kaliada put it, as \u201ca self-governing, self-authored cultural body.\u201d In Venice, the Theatre translates its approach to visual art, stepping away from the plays and theater productions that have become its calling card, to stage an exhibition featuring Belarusian artists working across painting, installations, and large-scale sculptures. The aim is to make the experience of living under authoritarianism viscerally legible\u2014not just visible. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want visitors simply to learn about a situation,\u201d cofounder Natalia Kaliada told ARTnews in April. \u201cWe wanted them to pass through it: the architecture, feeling, sound, scent, sculpture, obstruction, surveillance, ritual, and bodily experience.\u201d The works on view draw on Belarus\u2019s decades-long experience of repression as both a specific history and a wider warning. As Kaliada said, what once read as a story from the periphery \u201ccan now be u<\/p><\/div>\n

While we wait for the buyer of S. I. Newhouse\u2019s $181.2 million Jackson Pollock painting to reveal him- or herself, at least one buyer at the May marquee evening sales has stepped forward: Jay Chou. The Taiwanese pop star posted on Instagram last week that he was winning bidder for the 1924 Henri Matisse painting, La S\u00e9ance du Matin, offered at Sotheby\u2019s modern art evening sale last Tuesday. The Matisse sold for exactly $20 million before fees, ultimately reaching $21.2 million with fees. It carried a $20 million to $30 million estimate. Chou often writes about art, or posts photos of art, on his Instagram. In the post last week, he wrote, \u201cBack when I was in Nice, I used to spend a lot of time standing downstairs outside Henri Matisse\u2019s home, looking up at the balcony by the window. I\u2019d imagine him standing there too someday, staring out at the sunlight over Nice, lost in thought, before walking back into his studio to continue creating. I also used to dream about one day being able to collect one of his works from that period in Nice.Never thought that today, the dream would actually come true.\u201d The text was accompanied [...]<\/p><\/div>\n

Spectacle in all its many forms is the big theme of the summer season, when big, glitzy projects will take over museums across the globe. Laure Prouvost has been given a wide playing field for a show about quantum physics at Paris\u2019s Grand Palais, while Carsten H\u00f6ller is planning a vast exhibition for Beijing\u2019s UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, the details of which he has largely kept secret. Meanwhile, Tom\u00e1s Saraceno will bring his monumental sculptures to Munich\u2019s Haus der Kunst; a permanent land artwork by him is also going on view in his native Argentina. He is hardly the only artist considering the land and all the histories embedded within it. Carolina Caycedo is having a show at the Museu de Arte de S\u00e3o Paulo, while the National Gallery of Canada is surveying contemporary Indigenous artists from Inuit Nunaat, S\u00e1pmi, and Denendeh. This is not exactly a new theme, of course, and Ana Mendieta was considering it before many others. Tate Modern is giving her a proper retrospective, in one of the season\u2019s most anticipated art events. This period of relative quiet will also leave collectors, curators, critics, and artists with plenty of time to travel\u2014perhaps to the Venice [...]<\/p><\/div>\n

KYIV CULTURE ATTACKED. Early Sunday morning, Russia struck Kyiv and nearby towns with its largest attack on the Ukrainian capital city since 2024; a rare Oreshnik ballistic missile and drones killed four, injured about 100, and hit cultural institutions, according to\u00a0reports. Among the approximately 40 damaged sites are the\u00a0National Chernobyl museum\u00a0and the\u00a0National Art Museum of Ukraine (NAMU), per the\u00a0Kyiv Post. An estimated 40 percent of the Chernobyl museum was reportedly destroyed, while the NAMU\u2019s landmark building was damaged by a blast wave. No artworks were harmed in the NAMU, which was recently restored and reopened in the summer of 2023. On May 21, it debuted a \u201cperformance-exhibition\u201d by\u00a0Holyi\/Kostiantyn Mishukov\u00a0and\u00a0Oleh Tistol, about art as a form of therapy during war. \u201cWe saw how deeply art is capable of supporting people in times like these,\u201d curator and artist\u00a0Hanka Tretiak\u00a0told the\u00a0Kyiv Post. Following the strike, the exhibition had to be dismantled. \u201cRussians are destroying cultural heritage that belongs not only to Ukraine, but to all of Europe and the world,\u201d said Tretiak. \u00a0Related ArticlesArchaeologist Who May Have Found D'Artagnan's Skeleton Was Arrested, Co<\/p><\/div>\n

Controversy has once again reached the Venice Biennale, this time at the Kazakhstan pavilion, where artist \u00c4sel Kadyrhanova\u2019s presentation was reportedly dismantled prior to the exhibition\u2019s opening. The fallout has left fractures within the Kazakhstani art community and among the pavilion\u2019s organizers in Venice, with conflicting accounts emerging over who ordered the work\u2019s removal and why. The news emerged in a May 21 open letter signed by prominent members of the Kazakhstani art community and published on e-flux. The letter alleges that \u00c4sel Kadyrhanova\u2019s multimedia installation Machine (2013)\u2014a meditation on Stalin-era repression in Kazakhstan\u2014was dismantled on May 5 on the orders of the nation\u2019s Ministry of Culture, or by individuals acting on behalf of the pavilion\u2019s organizers, after negotiations between Kadyrhanova and the pavilion\u2019s curator, Syrlybek Bekbota, failed. In a May 11 article published by the Kazakh media outlet Vlast, titled \u201cKazakhstan\u2019s Ministry Removes Kadyrkhanova\u2019s Work from the Venice Biennale,\u201d representatives of the Museo Storico Navale di Venezia, the Italian Navy\u2013affiliated museum hosting the exhibition, denied any role in the work\u2019s removal.

At the core of this vision is ensuring that artists are at the center of everything the museum does. \u201cArtists will always exist; institutions maybe won\u2019t always exist,\u201d said Jova Lynne, MOCAD\u2019s artistic director who serves as co-director with Marie Madison-Patton, the chief operating officer. \u201cPutting artists at the forefront and acknowledging the multiplicitous lives that are lived is a cornerstone to what we are doing for this 20th year at MOCAD.\u201d Lynne and Madison-Patton have given MOCAD\u2019s new chapter a title: \u201cA Practice of Multiplicity.\u201d Lynne described this approach as focused on \u201cuplifting the wholeness of the artist and what they bring to the institution and their communities. We accept artists as they are, not just how the art world allows them to exist.\u201d For them, that means being realistic that artists can also have full-time jobs, are raising children, and are caring for their family or other members of their community. \u201cThat all goes into the work,\u201d Lynne added. Community is also key to the just-completed renovation, which focused primarily on much-needed infrastructural updates, including adding an HVAC system, to make its home, a former auto dealership, more hospitab<\/p><\/div>\n

Spanish police have recovered two 17th-century paintings by the Sevillian artist\u00a0Lucas Vald\u00e9s\u00a0that disappeared nearly a century ago after the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition in Seville, according to authorities. The works surfaced earlier this year when they were consigned for auction, prompting an investigation by Spain\u2019s National Police and the country\u2019s culture ministry.\u00a0 The two oval-shaped oil paintings on pine panel once belonged to the Hospital of the Venerable Priests in Seville, where they formed part of the decoration for the church\u2019s main altarpiece. The paintings were loaned out for the 1929 exposition and never returned. Their whereabouts remained unknown for decades.\u00a0 According to\u00a0El Pa\u00eds, the investigation began in September 2025 after Spain\u2019s Culture Ministry, alerted by the Archdiocese of Seville, notified police that two works scheduled to go up for auction appeared to match the long-missing Vald\u00e9s paintings. Authorities intervened before the sale could proceed, effectively freezing the transaction while investigators confirmed the works\u2019 identities.\u00a0 Police ultimately contacted the paintings\u2019 owners to explain the works\u2019 legal and patrimonial status.

According to a report from Reform.news, \u201cThe blast wave damaged the museum\u2019s historic fa\u00e7ade: windows were blown out, window frames damaged, and plaster partially collapsed from walls and inside several halls. In addition, the glass covering of the skylight roof, which provides natural overhead lighting for the exhibition halls on the second floor, was damaged.\u201d The halls of the museum were empty during the attack, after valuable holdings were moved to secure storage during the first days of the Russian invasion. Tatsiana Berezhna, Ukraine\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Minister of Culture, said in a statement, \u201cThe National Art Museum of Ukraine is a place where the history of Ukrainian art is preserved. Russia is systematically attacking civilian infrastructure and cultural institutions. Every such strike is an attempt to intimidate and destroy our identity. We are documenting all damage and continue working on restoring our damaged cultural heritage.\u201d The Ministry of Culture is currently preparing an appeal to UNESCO, the UN agency whose duties include the protection of cultural and natural heritage.

Tess Jaray, a British painter whose understated abstractions explored patterns that recur throughout the world, died on Sunday, according to an obituary posted to the artist\u2019s official Instagram account. She was 88. Jaray specialized in paintings of grids, cubes, and undulating zigzags, all of them set atop palely colored backgrounds. She began making them during the 1960s, at a time when Minimalism reigned supreme across the pond, in the US. But her works exerted a quieter presence, without much of the drama that accompanied that movement. She described a desire to reach something embedded deep within the human condition using these abstractions. In 2019, she told Studio International that she wanted \u201cto make sense of the obsessive searching for patterns and repetition in nature and in art that have been so important \u2026 They may be seen as a meeting point, a coming together of the head and the heart and the external and the internal.\u201d While Jaray may lack the name recognition had by some of the most famous artists of her era, she was influential, with her work looked at by artists of many generations\u2014some of whom studied with her at London\u2019s Slade School of Fine Art, where [...]<\/p><\/div>\n

The organizers oppose Miami Beach\u2019s investment in Israel Bonds, which the city had doubled to $20 million the previous year.
