The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas (ACLU of Texas) has named Houston-based painter Vincent Valdez and Austin-based author KB Brookins as the recipients of its artists-in-residence program for 2025–26.

Marina Abramović is the first living female artist to have a solo exhibition at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where her work will be installed alongside the museum's permanent collection. The show, titled *Transforming Energy*, features interactive 'transitory objects' such as stone beds and crystal-embedded structures that visitors are invited to use, as well as a juxtaposition of her 1983 photograph *Pietá (with Ulay)* with Titian's final masterpiece *Pietá* (1575-76). Abramović, who won the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale, emphasizes audience participation over passive viewing, banning telephones and encouraging visitors to spend at least three hours engaging with the works.

Artist Trevor Paglen and AI researcher Kate Crawford have launched ImageNetRoulette, a viral digital art project that uses artificial intelligence to label user-uploaded photos. The project, which is part of their "Training Humans" exhibition at Fondazione Prada, gained massive social media traction by generating often offensive or bizarre classifications for users. By exposing the problematic labels—ranging from "mediatrix" to racial slurs and criminal accusations—the creators aim to reveal the deep-seated systemic biases embedded in the ImageNet database, one of the world's most influential AI training sets.

The author recounts a visit to the Prado in Madrid, where his attempt to photograph a portrait by Alonso Sánchez Coello was blocked by a guard enforcing a strict no-photography policy. This experience leads him to reflect on the evolution of museum mementos, from postcards—which he used to buy and even had his children select as a curatorial exercise—to the role of social media in sharing art. He recalls his time as curator of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, where postcard sales were a key revenue and popularity gauge, and notes that Instagram now serves as a virtual window into exhibitions and art fairs like Art Basel Miami.
