'Rhino World Order' to open Tyler Art Gallery season

SUNY Oswego's Tyler Art Gallery opens its fall season with 'Rhino World Order,' an exhibition of large-scale ceramic and plaster sculptures by Buffalo-based artist Richard Tomasello. The show runs from September 2 to October 8, with an opening reception on September 5. Tomasello's work draws inspiration from Eugène Ionesco's 1959 absurdist play 'Rhinoceros,' using the rhinoceros as a metaphor for fascism and conformity. His sculptures address themes of physical assault, school shootings, mob mentality, toxic masculinity, and systemic violence, emphasizing the power of individual resistance. Related events include a panel discussion with the artist and gallery director Davana Robedee, and a student reading of the play.

David Krut Projects showcases artist’s latest exhibition | Rosebank Killarney Gazette

Artist Pebofatso Mokoena opened his latest exhibition, "Diamond Dust Apostrophes," at The Blue House in Parkwood on July 19, hosted by David Krut Projects. The show draws on his recent residency in Oranjemund, Namibia, where the landscape, history, and soundscapes influenced his creative direction. During the residency, Mokoena began creating ink drawings on A4 paper while waiting for oil paints, a limitation that shaped the exhibition's meditative tone. He also collaborated with fellow resident Ericke Tjiueza, using music—particularly the album "Floating Points" by Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra—as a tool to understand the town. The exhibition marks a shift from his 2020 solo show "Internal Probes," which focused on Johannesburg's urban chaos, toward stillness and reflection.

victims of communism memorial canada 1234767492

A memorial to 'Victims of Communism' in Ottawa, Canada, will no longer be inscribed with the names of individuals after a government report found that more than half of the proposed 550 names were linked to Nazism or fascist groups. The decision, announced by the Department of Canadian Heritage, follows concerns raised by Jewish groups and Canadian media outlets like Ricochet and The Maple. Instead, the Wall of Remembrance will feature only thematic content reflecting the memorial's broader commemorative and educational purpose. The memorial, first approved in 2009, has a budget of about $5.4 million, with $4.36 million from public funds, and faced earlier criticism over its design.
