At Birmingham's Ikon Gallery, Angela de la Cruz's audacious, visceral art takes no prisoners

Angela de la Cruz's exhibition "Upright" at Ikon Gallery in Birmingham (until 6 September) marks her first UK institutional show since her 2010 Camden Arts Centre survey, which earned her a Turner Prize nomination. The exhibition features her signature painterly sculptures and sculptural paintings that blur boundaries between mediums, including works like "Still Life with Table" (2000), "Limp" (2000), and "Bloated 111 (Blue)" (2012), which combine Minimalist language with anthropomorphic, emotional qualities. De la Cruz, who has been based in the UK since the late 1980s, continues to create work that channels influences from art history, literature, and personal experience, even after a paralyzing stroke in 2005.

Greta Thunberg, Hugh Bonneville sign letter defending Southbank Centre chair Misan Harriman

A petition signed by Greta Thunberg, Hugh Bonneville, and other prominent figures defends Misan Harriman, the photographer and chair of London's Southbank Centre, against what the letter calls a "dishonest smear campaign." The controversy stems from two incidents: Harriman shared a social media post about a stabbing attack in Golders Green, noting that a Muslim victim received less press coverage than two Jewish victims, and later posted a video reflecting on the rise of the right-wing Reform party, citing a conversation about the Holocaust. Right-wing outlets like The Daily Telegraph accused him of equating Reform's electoral success to the Holocaust, leading to widespread backlash. Harriman denies making such equivalences, and nearly 70,000 people have filed complaints with the press regulator IPSO—the largest campaign in its history.

artists market

Artnet News reports on how the recent art market downturn has severely impacted working artists, particularly those reliant on mid-tier galleries. Following a three-year contraction driven by higher interest rates and reduced spending, many galleries have closed or cut costs, leading to fewer exhibitions, delayed payments, and precarious incomes for artists. Some have been dropped by their galleries, while others have taken on second jobs or shifted toward corporate-sponsored public commissions. The article includes data showing low median earnings for artists in the U.S., Germany, and the U.K., and quotes gallerist Facundo Argañaraz on the stigma artists face when pivoting careers.

lotus l kang on channeling poetry memory and spirits into her new work

Lotus L. Kang's latest exhibition, "Already," is on view at 52 Walker in New York through June 7, 2025. The Brooklyn-based Canadian artist transforms the gallery into a diasporic memoryscape using steel greenhouses, mixed-media paintings, sculpture, and found objects like oversized kelp knots and soju bottles. The show takes its title from a poem in Kim Hyesoon's "Autobiography of Death" (2016), and Kang's installation explores themes of presence and absence, memory, and the transmutative qualities of photography and film. In an interview, Kang discusses how Korean poetry helps her understand her own origins as a Korean-Canadian gyopo, and how translation—both linguistic and material—shapes her work.

More US artists forced to pay for their own shows as museum and culture budgets shrink

The article reports that U.S. artists like Lucia Hierro are increasingly forced to pay for their own museum exhibitions and public commissions as institutional budgets shrink. Hierro’s ambitious installation centered on a 7.5-foot monobloc chair required $35,000–$40,000 for fabrication alone, far exceeding what the commissioning institution could provide. The project moved forward only after support from her gallerist and a new fund from Miami-based nonprofit Fountainhead Arts, which received 96 applications requesting $1.8 million—14 times its available $125,000 in grants. The article highlights that even artists selected for the Venice Biennale face such funding gaps.
