konstantina krikzoni armatura

Konstantina Krikzoni's solo exhibition "ARMATURA" at L'Appartement in Geneva presents a new suite of paintings born from a period of intense solitude. The works explore painting as a medium for self-expression, using the metaphor of an armature—the metal framework that supports sculptures—to represent an inner structure of fortification, endurance, and survival. The paintings feature elusive female figures and landscapes rendered with delicate layers of pigment, evoking ancient myths and goddesses, with works like *Warrior I* (2025), *L.K. I Killed the Pink* (2025), and the titular *Armatura* (2025) conveying emotional rawness and psychological drama.

Artnet News released its mid-year intelligence report on the art market, led by Katya Kazakina's analysis titled “The Storm Hits the Art Market: Who’s Getting Swept Away?” The article cites major gallery closures including Blum, Venus Over Manhattan, and Kasmin, and quotes a collector warning that “blood will flow in the streets” before the market recalibrates. Kenny Schachter, an artist, dealer, and Artnet columnist, publicly criticized the coverage on Instagram, calling it alarmist and arguing that the market is “fucking fine.” The exchange has sparked a debate about the fairness and responsibility of art-market reporting.

And We Shall Go Through Their Hills Without Much Delay

This article documents three journeys into and out of Yunnan, China, spanning from 1874 to 2023. It begins with British interpreter Augustus Raymond Margary's failed colonial expedition to establish a trade route, which ended in his violent death and contributed to unequal treaties opening Southwest China. It then follows a Naxi student named Xueshan in 1937, whose railway journey introduced modern timekeeping to the region, and finally describes the construction of the Burma Road, a critical WWII supply route. The narrative concludes with the artist Cheng Xinhao retracing these routes on foot from Kunming toward Burma over a year and a half, reflecting on history, bodily experience, and the layers of infrastructure that have reshaped the landscape.
