Michael Govan, director of LACMA, discusses the opening of the new $720 million David Geffen Galleries on April 19, designed by architect Peter Zumthor. The 110,000-square-foot space features concrete walls, natural light, and spans Wilshire Boulevard, replacing traditional white-cube galleries with a fluid, non-chronological layout organized around bodies of water. Govan, who has led the museum for two decades, describes the project as a once-in-a-century opportunity to rethink the encyclopedic museum model.

17 must-see works of art at LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has unveiled a selection of must-see works within its new David Geffen Galleries, marking a radical departure from traditional museum curation. Moving away from rigid chronological and geographic silos, the museum has organized its encyclopedic collection around four major bodies of water—the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea—to highlight the historical movement of resources, ideas, and cultures. The single-level, fluid architectural space encourages visitors to meander through evolving installations that include high-profile acquisitions like Francis Bacon’s "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" alongside intricate Kuba ceremonial textiles.

How the Edam exhibition is giving ‘edam’, or space, to Kerala’s women artists

The article reports on 'Edam', a collateral exhibition of the Kochi Muziris Biennale curated by Aishwarya Suresh and KM Madhusudhanan. Featuring 36 Malayali artists, the show consciously avoids stereotypical depictions of women as confined to home and family. Instead, it highlights deeply personal works by women artists such as Priti Vadakkath, Indu Antony, Nithya AS, and Devika Sundar, whose art reflects their individual struggles and lived experiences. The curators also faced challenges including financial constraints, spousal opposition, and helping recent art graduates gain confidence to articulate their work.
