michael armitage david zwirner new york gallery review

Michael Armitage's solo exhibition "Crucible" at David Zwirner's new Annabelle Selldorf-designed gallery in New York features paintings centered on migration, including the work *Path* (2024), inspired by a 2015 Vice News story about an Eritrean teenager's harrowing journey to Europe. The show also includes *Raft (ii)* (2024), a blurry homage to Théodore Géricault's *Raft of the Medusa*, and new sculptures that resemble wood carvings. The gallery itself, a single-story 18,000-square-foot space, opened after a larger planned venue fell through due to financial headwinds during Covid.

The tiniest event can tear a hole. Sara MacKillop by Margaret Kross

Sara MacKillop's exhibition "The Cutaway View" at Good Weather in Chicago presents sculptures made from humble analog materials like blank wall calendars, empty shopping bags, and gift wrapping. The London-based artist alters these objects with minimal interventions—such as surgically cut holes in shopping bags to accommodate vinyl records—drawing attention to the ephemera and texture of retail culture. Her series "Calendar Houses" (2021–ongoing) uses archive boxes and wall calendars to create miniature modernist dwellings that critique systems of order and self-optimization.

Review | A sprawling survey highlights the women making art around D.C.

A survey exhibition titled "Women Artists of the DMV: A Survey Exhibition" at the American University Museum in Washington, D.C., showcases 63 works by women artists from the region. The show, reviewed by Mark Jenkins, features depictions of women as everyday people, archetypes, allegorical figures, and goddesses, alongside some abstract pieces, with a preference for representational art.

From gunshots to gilded plates: Who are the real hooligans of the art world?

Alex Burchmore reviews 'The Hooligans,' an exhibition that explores the Maoist concept of hooliganism in the context of contemporary Chinese art. The show features works by artists like Xiao Lu, who famously fired a gun at her installation during the 1989 'China/Avant-Garde' exhibition, as well as Zhu Yu and He Yunchang, known for incorporating human body parts and surgical procedures into their art. The exhibition contrasts these transgressive acts with more market-friendly works, such as Zhu Yu's gilded plate paintings and Hu Yinping's commercial-style figurines, highlighting the tension between artistic rebellion and commercial success.
