Cleveland Museum of Art presents 19th-century photo exhibit 'France in the Time of Manet and Morisot'

The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) has opened a new photography exhibition, "France in the Time of Manet and Morisot," running through August 23 in the Mark Schwartz and Bettina Katz Photography Galleries. The free show features 50 photographs from CMA's holdings of mid-1800s France, complementing the museum's ticketed Impressionist display "Manet & Morisot." Curator Barbara Tannenbaum selected works by photographers such as Charles Marville, Édouard Baldus, and André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, including Disdéri's 1861 portrait "Monsieur Merlen," which is noted as an early precursor to the modern selfie. The photographs document historic monuments, new architecture, and figures like Sarah Bernhardt, offering a visual context for the era of painters Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot.

Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art’s ‘Yes &…’ favors the process over the pretty

The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) has opened a new exhibition titled 'Yes &…', inspired by the improvisational comedy rule of accepting and building on ideas. Guest curators Donald Fodness and Tobias Fike selected 18 artists whose work emphasizes process over polish, featuring visible seams, fingerprints, and evidence of human decision-making across painting, sculpture, video, installation, and performance. The exhibition includes interactive elements, such as a sculpture with hand-carved 'ice cubes' intended for viewers to take, and runs through May 3.

‘Endless scrolling induces permanent craving’: panGenerator highlights our unhealthy relationship with technology

An exhibition titled 'Elusive Sense: On the Fluid Boundaries of Perception' at London’s art’otel featured five contemporary Polish artists, including the collective panGenerator. Their interactive installation 'Infinity' (2020) invites viewers to kneel and endlessly scroll through nonsensical digital shapes on a screen, mimicking social media's infinite scroll. The work aims to make users feel uncomfortable and reflect on their daily digital habits, drawing parallels between trust in technology and religious belief. Another panGenerator piece, 'Hash to ash' (2017), lets visitors take a selfie that melts into ash, critiquing selfie culture and the fragility of digital photos.
