Au Mémorial de Caen, les artistes africains font face à l’histoire de la colonisation

The Mémorial de Caen, a museum dedicated to World War II and the Cold War, has opened a new exhibition titled "(Dé)colonisations: des artistes africains interrogent l'histoire" (Decolonizations: African Artists Question History). Curated by Ayoko Mensah and Jean-Yves Marin, the show features 80 works by contemporary artists of sub-Saharan African origin, including Omar Victor Diop and Roméo Mivekannin. Swiss collector Jean Claude Gandur, who is building a foundation adjacent to the museum, lent 23 works, and his foundation's curator Olivia Fahmy helped organize the exhibition. The show is a prelude to a planned permanent section on colonial history at the memorial.

Recensione, interviste e migliori stand della fiera d’arte contemporanea di Varsavia. Che cresce

Art Warsaw returns for its third edition, this time held in the historic Villa Róż, a former British embassy in Warsaw. The fair features 56 galleries, over 30 of which are international, and is co-founded by Joanna Witek-Lipka and Michał Kaczyński. The unconventional venue, with its blend of aristocratic luxury and Cold War-era bureaucratic spaces, is central to the fair's identity, offering an experience far removed from the typical white cube format. Galleries collaborated closely with organizers to adapt their presentations to the building's unique rooms, creating an atmosphere that balances a commercial fair with an exhibition project.
