But it all feels a little déjà vu. They’ve been staging the same spectacle for decades. The ever-provocative duo, who met at Cent

Tobi Ibiye Makinde Tucked into a quiet courtyard of Downing College, the Heong Gallery – a former horse stable – now offers a serene, meditative space. Two Latin American artists, Alexandre da Cunha and Francisca Aninat, feature in Revealing (In)visible Times ,   an exciting exhibition that weaves questions around time, waiting, and materiality. Curated by Valentina Gajardo, this exhibition utilises the Heong Gallery’s tall ceiling, soft light, and echoing atmosphere to eleva

Installation View, photograph by Stefanos Carras “Follow the light at the end of the tunnel,” I am told as I look for the entrance to Paradigm Shift, the new moving image exhibition at 180 Studios. Did I experience a figurative death, resurfacing from this subterranean maze with my mind renewed? Unfortunately, I did not.

Anna Buriak Entering the Turbine Hall, one expects spectacle: vast scale, cinematic intervention, sensory surprise. But in “Hyundai Commission: Máret Ánne Sara: Goavve-Geabbil,” the spectacle is measured, even restrained, and it asks you to slow down. You do not immediately grasp this as a “blockbuster,” but rather as a challenge, a call to attunement. And that is in many ways the project’s strongest move.  From the south end of the hall the monumental vertical column Goavve 

Jamie Zhou Wolfgang Tillmans. The State We’re In, A , 2015 Prior to the five-year closure of the Centre Pompidou in September, Wolfgang Tillmans transformed its vacated public library into a space that exposes the fragility and endurance of human connection amidst a fractured political climate. In the exhibition video, Tillmans introduces one of the defining pieces of the exhibition, The State We’re In , A (2015). A photograph of a boundless seascape of disquieting turbulence

Yet despite the scale, what is on offer feels more like repetition than revelation. Abstraction, as presented here, reads less like reinvention and more like a remix. Brice Marden: Etched Le

Harry Laventure Matisse’s Figure et bouquet (Tête ocre) above the Weis family sofa. Credit: Artlyst The deaths of Robert F. and Patricia G. Ross Weis, in October 2015 and 2024, marked the loss of two of the art world’s most private, understated collectors. The taste and acquisition harboured thereby held the instinctive and refined symmetry of a dragonfly’s wings. For over seventy years, the pair plucked a coherent anthology of postwar masterpieces from the market, gently am
