The 21st Century’s Biggest Art Trend is Not a Style. But Once You See It, You’ll Notice It Everywhere.

The article traces the evolution of "systems art," a term coined by critic Jack Burnham in 1968 to describe art that uses rules, seriality, and repetition to mirror and reveal the growing protocols of the Cold War era. It highlights early practitioners like Kenneth Noland, Robert Morris, Dan Flavin, and notably Hans Haacke and Adrian Piper, who shifted from atmospheric systems (e.g., Haacke's *Condensation Cube*) to social systems (e.g., Haacke's *Shapolsky et al. Manhattan Real Estate Holdings*). The piece argues that systems thinking has become unavoidable in contemporary life—from algorithms to systemic racism—and that art remains a crucial tool for making these invisible systems legible.

Global Art Biennials: Renovation, Revelation—or Repetition?

The article examines the current state of global art biennials, arguing that recent controversies—such as the 2022 documenta antisemitism crisis and geopolitical tensions at the 61st Venice Biennale—reveal these exhibitions as deeply politicized platforms rather than neutral cultural events. It highlights how juries and curators have introduced geopolitical criteria, and cites ongoing debates in Artforum (April 2026) featuring voices like Daniel Birnbaum, Michelle Grabner, and Adam Szymczyk, who diagnose visible tensions but overlook deeper structural conditions.

Nei grandi capolavori della storia dell’arte si sorseggia una celebre birra belga. Il video

Stella Artois, the Belgian beer brand, has launched a campaign called "The Artois Probability" that uses an algorithm to analyze historical paintings and calculate the likelihood that the beer depicted in them is actually Stella Artois. Developed in 2023 by the agency GUT in collaboration with the Museo de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, the campaign examines variables such as the painting's year, geographic location, glass type, and liquid color, cross-referencing them with the brand's archives. The campaign includes works by artists like Manet, Brueghel, and Brouwer, and aims to make viewers think of Stella Artois whenever they see a beer in a painting.
