Art for Our Age of Chaos

The article reviews two major New York exhibitions opening in 2026: the Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art, featuring over fifty artists, and "New Humans: Memories of the Future" at the newly expanded New Museum, with over a hundred artists. Both shows are described as enormous and defiant, responding to a distracted public and financial pressures. The reviewer notes that both exhibitions juxtapose large-scale immersive works with tiny, intimate pieces, and finds the Whitney Biennial lacking urgency, while preferring the New Museum's historical narrative about technology and modernity.

According to the Turner Prize, one of the year’s best British artists is… French

The 2026 Turner Prize shortlist has been announced, featuring four nominees including French-born artist Marguerite Humeau, who is considered the front-runner despite the award's requirement of honoring a "British artist." Humeau, known for her futuristic biomorphic sculptures made from unusual materials like wasp venom and seaweed, lives in London but was born and raised in the Loire Valley. Other nominees include London-born Kira Freije, Simeon Barclay for his spoken-word performance "The Ruin," and Tanoa Sasraku, whose ICA show is described as "dreary" by the critic. The winner will be announced at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art in December.

Remembering Gathie Falk, Canadian artist whose singular practice sparked comparisons to Surrealism and Pop art

Gathie Falk, the acclaimed Canadian artist known for her six-decade practice spanning Surrealist paintings, hand-fashioned ceramics, sculptural installations, and performance, died at her home in Vancouver on 22 December at age 97. Her work transformed everyday objects—glazed ceramic apples, cabbages, shoes, and watermelons—into jewel-like sculptures and installations, with notable series including "Picnics" (1976-77), "Cement With Poppies" (1982), and "55 Oranges" (1969-70). Born in rural Manitoba in 1928 to Mennonite refugees, Falk initially pursued music before turning to art at age 37, studying ceramics with Glenn Lewis and developing a practice rooted in what she called a "veneration of the ordinary."

For Carly Glovinski, Art and Gardening Grow Side by Side

Maine artist Carly Glovinski has opened "Into the Garden," her third solo exhibition with New York's Morgan Lehman Gallery. The show explores gardening as a parallel practice to art-making, inspired by her residency at Surf Point in southern Maine, where she discovered the overgrown grounds of Wild Knoll, the former home of author May Sarton. Glovinski planted a community garden there, the Wild Knoll Foundation Garden, and the experience led her to return to painting after a two-decade hiatus, creating acrylic works that express the experience of gardening rather than traditional landscapes.

Designer Stella Ishii, co-owner of fashion showroom the NEWS and founder of label 6397, discusses her SoHo loft and the neighborhood's artistic legacy in an interview with curator Clarissa Dalrymple. Ishii, who moved from Japan to New York in the 1990s after working with Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo, bought a 3,000-square-foot cast-iron loft with her artist husband Jerry Kamitaki in 1997, preserving a rare artist-priced property in a rapidly gentrifying area. The conversation touches on SoHo's transformation from an artist haven—home to figures like Gordon Matta-Clark, Donald Judd, Joan Jonas, and gallerist Paula Cooper—to a commercial district, as well as Ishii's collecting habits and the loft's role as a creative space for performances and guests.

Miami-Dade County has granted permission to the Miami Marlins, led by CEO Derek Jeter, to move Red Grooms's massive kinetic sculpture *Homer* from its original location inside Marlins Park to a new outdoor plaza called the Marlins Park Art Walk. The 73-foot-tall, $2.5 million artwork, which activates with water jets and spinning figures after every Marlins home run, has been opposed by the 81-year-old artist, who argues the un-weatherized piece will be damaged by the elements. Grooms and his wife have publicly appealed to keep the sculpture in place, but the county's Art in Public Places board approved the relocation, with the team facing a $2,000-a-day fine if the work is not reinstalled by January 1, 2020.

‘It’s madness’: David Hockney blasts plans to loan Bayeux Tapestry to UK

British artist David Hockney has publicly criticized plans to loan the Bayeux Tapestry from France to the British Museum in London, calling the move “madness.” Writing in The Independent, Hockney argues that the 11th-century embroidery, which depicts the Norman invasion of England, could be damaged during transport across the English Channel, citing risks to its aged linen backing and wool threads. The tapestry is set to be displayed at the British Museum’s Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery from September 2026 to July 2027 while its home in Normandy undergoes renovations. In response, British Museum director Nicholas Cullinan defended the loan, citing the museum’s expertise in handling ancient artifacts. The UK Treasury will insure the tapestry for an estimated £800 million, and in exchange, British treasures including the Lewis chessmen and Sutton Hoo helmet will travel to Normandy.
