After 550 years, a fabric found in a Norwich bishop’s tomb is recreated

Fragments of silk from a ceremonial robe buried with Norwich Bishop Walter Lyhert in 1472 have been recreated after 550 years. The tiny pieces were discovered in 1899 during building works at Norwich Cathedral and have been on long-term loan to Norwich Castle. A project led by assistant curator Agata Gomolka used high-resolution photography, chemical fiber analysis, and dye testing by scientists at the British Museum and KIK-IRPA in Brussels to reconstruct the red and purple fabric. The recreated silk is now on display at Norwich Castle, and Norwich Cathedral plans to make ceremonial copes from it for use in services.

Minnesota Anishinaabe artists well-represented at major new exhibition in Detroit

A major new exhibition, “Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation,” has opened at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), marking the museum’s first major Native American exhibition in over three decades. The show features 90 works by more than 60 artists from the Great Lakes region of the U.S. and Canada, including a strong contingent of Minnesota-based painters, sculptors, designers, and filmmakers. Curated in collaboration with a panel of Anishinaabe artists—including Duluth-based painter and filmmaker Jonathan Thunder, Kelly Church, Jason Quigno, Monica Rickert-Bolter, and Jodi Webster—the exhibition spans painting, beadwork, fashion, film, and sculpture. Signage is translated into Anishinaabemowin, and QR codes offer language learning. The curators deliberately chose not to begin with historical works, asserting that Native American artists should not be required to provide a historical preamble.

Sunday's floating art exhibition in Norfolk is a love letter to its waterways

Lindsay Horne, inspired by the Bosch Parade on the Netherlands' Dommel River, has organized the Hague Parade, a floating art exhibition on Norfolk's waterways. The event debuts on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the intersection of Mill Street and Mowbray Arch, ending at the Chrysler Museum of Art. Nine artist teams designed sustainable, leave-no-trace floats using canoes, kayaks, and rain barrels. Participants include students from the Governor's School for the Arts, the Barry Art Museum, and California artist Stan Clark. The parade aims to celebrate water rather than lament rising sea levels, with hopes to grow into a larger community weekend featuring a boat race and family activities.

Vancouver Art Gallery selects architects for second attempt at new building

The Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) has selected Formline Architecture and Urbanism, based in Vancouver, and KPMB Architects, based in Toronto, to design its new building at Larwill Park in downtown Vancouver. The announcement comes ten months after the museum abandoned a Herzog & de Meuron design due to a 50% cost increase, and after parting ways with director Anthony Kiendl. The VAG has outgrown its current 1913 courthouse home, and the new project was initiated 13 years ago by former director Kathleen Bartels. A preliminary design is expected next year, though no budget, timeline, or opening date has been revealed.

New Bell Gallery exhibition ‘ojo|-|ólǫ́’ honors Diné mythology, culture

Artist Eric-Paul Riege presents 'ojo|-|ólǫ́,' a new exhibition at Brown University's David Winton Bell Gallery that combines fiber sculpture and performance art to explore Diné (Navajo) mythology and culture.

‘Our pattern, our document’: this Indigenous Australian community is using design to assert its rights

A new exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) in Sydney, titled 'Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala', showcases the work of 90 Yolŋu artists from the remote community of Yirrkala in Australia's Northern Territory. The exhibition highlights how the community's art centre, Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka, has produced sacred clan designs known as miny'tji for eight decades, and how these patterns were used as legal and political documents to assert land and sea rights. Key moments include the 1963 Yirrkala Bark Petition, the Saltwater Project (1996) initiated by artist Djambawa Marawili, and the subsequent 2008 High Court ruling recognizing Indigenous ownership of the intertidal zone under the Land Rights Act.

LACMA’s US$720m David Geffen Galleries expansion to open in 2026

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced that its long-awaited David Geffen Galleries expansion will open in April 2026, over two decades after the project was first announced in 2001. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the $720 million serpentine structure spans Wilshire Boulevard and replaces several older buildings, increasing gallery space from 130,000 to 220,000 square feet. The project faced numerous setbacks, including public criticism of the design, concerns over the nearby La Brea Tar Pits, the discovery of sabre-toothed tiger skulls during construction, pandemic delays, the departure of longtime donor The Ahmanson Foundation, and Zumthor's distancing from the project in 2023 due to cost compromises. A series of soft openings are planned for summer 2025 before the full public debut.

A first look inside LACMA’s Zumthor-designed David Geffen Galleries as museum hosts preview opening

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has released new photographs of its David Geffen Galleries, designed by architect Peter Zumthor with SOM as collaborating architect. The building, a long horizontal glass and concrete structure curving along Hancock Park and Wilshire Boulevard, opened temporarily for a three-day preview last week and is scheduled to open to the public in April 2026. The 347,500-square-foot wing includes 110,000 square feet of gallery space, along with street-level pavilions housing a theater, store, bar, and education center. To mark the preview, LACMA hosted three "sonic previews" featuring composer Kamasi Washington leading over 100 musicians in a performance of his work Harmony of Difference. Architectural critic Christopher Hawthorne described the wing as "bold and compromised in nearly equal measure," while Zumthor noted that curators initially critical of the spatial layout have begun to appreciate the space and the beauty of the handmade concrete structure.

The Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies in Aspen has opened a new exhibition titled "Sculpting the Environment," the first-ever show dedicated to the site-specific outdoor sculptures and land art of Bauhaus artist Herbert Bayer.
