design stella ishii new york interiors

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.

museums in crisis takeaways 2717463

Artnet News published its 'Museums in Crisis' series, a global investigation into pressures facing cultural institutions. Key takeaways include: Western museums face a funding and political crisis, with U.S. institutions losing hundreds of millions in federal support (including $428 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities) and European museums like those in Berlin facing cuts of €130 million. Corporate sponsorship is increasingly risky due to ethical scrutiny, with the U.K.'s Museums Association urging institutions to avoid ties to fossil fuels or human rights abuses. China's private museums are at risk of downsizing or disappearing due to economic slowdown and lack of public funding.

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.

How Tate's Emily Kam Kngwarray show is revealing the fraught market dynamics of Aboriginal art

Tate Modern in London is hosting a major solo exhibition of Emily Kam Kngwarray, the celebrated Aboriginal artist who rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The show, first presented at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, features works from the height of her career, deliberately omitting some of her final paintings due to concerns about the circumstances under which they were created. Curators Kelli Cole and Hetti Perkins highlight how Kngwarray's rapid success attracted dealers and entrepreneurs who exploited the artist and her community, revealing an opaque market system that took advantage of artists' inexperience and poor socio-economic conditions.

design artist housing hell real estate

The article examines the severe affordable housing crisis facing artists in major art capitals like New York, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Paris, and Hong Kong. It draws parallels between the satirical portrayals of housing struggles in Tama Janowitz's *Slaves of New York* (1986) and Jane DeLynn's *Real Estate* (1988) and the contemporary reality, where median rents have tripled since the 1970s while artists' median earnings remain critically low. The author maps artists' precarious housing situations onto Dante's nine circles of Hell, illustrating the creative but often desperate workarounds artists employ, such as subletting, living in storage units, or having no permanent address.

The 61st Venice Biennale, titled "In Minor Keys," opens with a keynote exhibition conceived by the late Koyo Kouoh and realized by her team after her sudden death in May 2025. The show spans the Central Pavilion in the Giardini and the Arsenale, featuring 110 artists and collectives. Highlights include Bracha L. Ettinger's installation at the Hotel Metropole, where she transforms a room where Sigmund Freud wrote part of *The Interpretation of Dreams* into a feminist 'borderspace,' and works by artists such as Arthur Jafa, Richard Prince, Issa Samb, Beverly Buchanan, and Daniel Lind-Ramos. The exhibition explores themes of history, colonialism, war, and environmental destruction, aiming for a 'sotto voce' tone that nonetheless delivers powerful, liberating statements.

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.
