art paul mccarthy show performance

Cultured magazine profiles legendary 80-year-old artist Paul McCarthy during his Paris exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, titled “SS EE Saint Santa Eva Elf.” The article follows the journalist's three-day pursuit of McCarthy, covering a screening of his films *A&E Adolf & Eva/ Adam & Eve Cooking Show* (2022/2023) and *A&E Adolf & Eva/Adam & Eve Mother* (2022/2025), which feature psychosexual themes referencing Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun alongside Adam and Eve, co-starring actor Lilith Stangenberg. The exhibition includes large raw drawings created during improvised, multi-camera performances with Stangenberg, where they play twisted Santa and elf characters. McCarthy also has concurrent shows at The Journal Gallery in Los Angeles and SOLO contemporary art space in Madrid.

art coco clockner young artist

Coco Klockner, a 34-year-old artist based in New York, is featured in Cultured's 2025 Young Artists list. She emerged from the early 2010s DIY music scene, developing a sensitivity to sound, site, and timing that now informs her sculptural interventions. Her work has been shown at galleries including Silke Lindner and lower_cavity, and she recently opened her first institutional solo exhibition at SculptureCenter in Queens, on view through December 22. Her practice explores transfeminine representation through materials ranging from sounding rods to first-aid kits, often incorporating sound and spatial dynamics.
