Faizi Rahmeen Art Gallery yet to open doors

The Faizi Rahmeen Art Gallery in Karachi, Pakistan, remains unfinished over 35 years after its inception, despite being initiated during the tenure of former MQM Mayor Dr. Farooq Sattar. Construction of the ground-plus-three-storey structure was completed by 1992 at an estimated cost of Rs80 million, but work stalled after the launch of "Operation Clean-Up" against the MQM and the dissolution of the local government. A brief revival in 2007 only saw installation of glass panels and floor tiling; core civil works are only 70% complete, and key systems like electrical, mechanical, revolving stage, and sound system are still pending. The site, formerly the residence of renowned author Atiya Begum and artist Faizi Rahmeen, was donated to the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) in trust with the explicit intention of establishing an art gallery. KMC's Culture, Sports and Recreation office now operates from the property, but the gallery itself remains stalled due to lack of political priority for arts and culture.

Bernard Williams' solo exhibition "Crossings" is on view across the Elmhurst Art Museum campus, including its parking lot and the Mies van der Rohe house.

Rocket Man Jacky Tsai’s interstellar adventure

London-based Chinese artist Jacky Tsai painted the exterior of a ZQ-2E Y2 rocket, which launched into space in May from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The project, titled "Chang'e Flying to the Moon," was a collaboration with commercial space company LandSpace, reimagining the Chinese moon goddess in a cosmic context. Tsai worked with engineers to apply aerospace-grade paint, avoiding colors like green that could interfere with tracking systems. He had planned to recover separated rocket parts for a sculptural installation or charity auction, but all painted sections were incinerated upon re-entry.

Three works by artist and sexual abuser Eric Gill withdrawn from UK exhibition after consultation with survivors group

Three artworks by Eric Gill, a sculptor and artist who sexually abused his daughters, have been withdrawn from the exhibition 'It Takes A Village' at the Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft in the UK, opening on 5 July.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.
