Zhu Jinshi, Du Fu Tower, 2023, Xuan paper, steel frame, Courtesy of the artist and Chengdu Biennale.
CHENGDU.- Presented on occasion of the 2023 Chengdu Biennale, Zhu Jinshis Du Fu Tower stands nearly 40 feet tall and is meticulously constructed with featherlight sheets of Xuan paper assembled across a towering steel infrastructure. This site-specific work nods to a pagoda within the Du Fu Thatched Cottage national heritage site, an architectural relic in Chengdu originally built in honor of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu. Designed to form a relationship with the lobby of the Chengdu Art Museum, the installation invites a delicate interplay of light, shadow, material, and space. The textured surface of the Xuan paper draped in neat rows resembles the eaves and tiles of rooftops, evoking the transient nature of time and moments of commonality across human civilization, a tower of Babel. And yet, its ethereal atmosphere serves as a protective veil, a mirage that distracts from the structures formal austerity. Despite its apparent softness, the structures lofty hexagonal ... More |

This gathering of artists draws on the late Dr Teresia Teaiwas call to build our own archives to store and share these unique stories and perspectives. In the face of code-switching and assimilation, we see the rise of the curly girl routine, the premiering of The Polynesian Panthers TV ... More | |

There is nowhere else quite like the Park Avenue Armory. It is our natural habitat! said Jenny ... More

Heji Shin debuts new work exploring contemporary society and culture
NEW YORK, NY.- 52 Walker is currently showing its eighth exhibition, THE BIG NUDES, which features the work of New Yorkbased artist Heji Shin (b. 1976). Throughout her photographic practice, Shin has skirted the boundaries of convention, creating images that challenge judgments of taste vis-Ã -vis fashion, celebrity, and sexuality. This is her first solo exhibition in New York since 2020. Shins practice oscillates fluidly between the commercial and fine- art realms, and the work she exhibits in gallery and museum contexts is strongly influenced by the editorial work she produces. Shin often shoots her varied subjects at close range and employs the vernacular of fashion photography, in which lighting and display are paramount in drawing attention to covetable merchandise. Revealing our scopophilic tendencies while refusing to essentialize or pass ... More
Spider-Man #1 comic book auctioned for $520,380 at Hake's in Pennsylvania
YORK, PA.- A super-clean, CGC 9.6 copy of Amazing Spider-Man #1 (March 1963) one of only five of its type and grade known to exist set off a bidding war at Hakes July 25-26 auction of pop culture memorabilia, rocketing to an astonishing final price of $520,380.

Their rooftop photos are stunning. Their subculture has its critics.
NEW YORK, NY.- Remi Lucidi, a sergeant in the French army, died far from a battlefield. His body was found recently aside a Hong Kong skyscraper where he had been spotted near the rooftop. In his spare time, Lucidi, 30, was a rooftopper, shorthand for someone who takes photos and selfies from the tops of tall buildings, sometimes by trespassing. After his death was reported, some Instagram users debated the value and purpose of his art, which involved clambering onto ledges and antennae in cities across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. To friends and admirers, Lucidis spine-tingling photos were the work of a talented, restless adventurer. To his critics, they were a case study in reckless risk-taking. That debate mirrors tensions within a broader movement called urban exploration, or urbex, one that is often associated with ... More
Exhibition pays homage to the resilience of the humble mushroom
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Praz-Delavallade Projects Los Angeles is presenting Rooted Signals, an exhibition that pays homage to the resilience of the humble mushroom and its vast mycelial networks connecting individual plants at the root by the Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist Moral Turgeman. Considered the most intelligent of simple multicellular organisms, this porous fungal structure ensures individual plants across vast areas receive the nutrients they need to survive, through a complex and still little understood communication system. Turgeman brings this vital and decentralized structure of collective intelligence to Rooted Signals, conceptualizing the mycelium process of sending chemical signals across its generative, skeletal, and binding branches of tubular threadscalled hyphaeto the human experience. The immersive exhibition ... More

Flashback On a day like today, German painter Emil Nolde was born August 07, 1867. Emil Nolde (7 August 1867 - 13 April 1956) was a German painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and is considered to be one of the great oil painting and watercolour painters of the 20th century. He is known for his vigorous brushwork and expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding storm-scapes and brilliant florals. In this image: Members of the media take a look at some of the paintings by German artist Emil Nolde presented at the Grand Palais in Paris, Wednesday Sept. 24, 2008.
