Vibrant Victorian-Era Transparencies Illuminate a Host of Microscopic Creatures

Osh Gallery in London is exhibiting 'The Hudson Transparencies,' a collection of 58 original illustrations by Charles Thomas Hudson, a 19th-century educator and amateur scientist. Created for his lectures, these large-scale transparencies (37.8 by 29.5 inches) combine painted paper and perforated pinholes to depict microscopic creatures such as rotifers, algae, protozoa, and marine organisms. When back-lit, the dark, seemingly unfinished images transform into vivid, detailed visions of life invisible to the naked eye, showcasing the intersection of Victorian-era optical innovation and scientific discovery.

What Brakes Through: “Teresa Tyszkiewicz. Stories That Tell Themselves” at Profile Foundation.

Teresa Tyszkiewicz's exhibition "Stories That Tell Themselves" at Profile Foundation in Warsaw showcases the Polish artist's process-driven practice spanning video, performance, and relief-like paintings made with pins, nails, metal plates, ropes, and fabrics. Curated by Bożena Czubak, the show highlights Tyszkiewicz's use of the body as a medium—often naked and immersed in organic materials—to explore emotions, intuition, and unconscious desires, as seen in works like the 1980 film "Grain." The artist, who began her career in the late 1970s alongside Polish neo-avantgarde filmmakers but rejected their conceptual tendencies, developed a tactile, laborious approach that invites sensory engagement.

Three works by artist and sexual abuser Eric Gill withdrawn from UK exhibition after consultation with survivors group

Three artworks by Eric Gill, a sculptor and artist who sexually abused his daughters, have been withdrawn from the exhibition 'It Takes A Village' at the Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft in the UK, opening on 5 July. The works—two depicting his daughter Petra naked in a bath and one of a nude Elizabeth—were removed after the museum consulted with the Methodist Survivors Advisory Group, a group of abuse survivors. The survivors found the pieces offensive and potentially upsetting to visitors. The exhibition will still include Gill's watercolor 'Annunciation' in a separate room, and the museum's director, Stephanie Fuller, emphasized that the decision was led by the survivors' input.
