simone leigh on making art under full time fascism 1234753253

Simone Leigh has announced a fall 2027 exhibition at the Royal Academy in London, featuring a series of new monumental sculptures. In an interview with the Guardian, she criticized the United States under the Trump administration, describing it as "full-on fascism" and reflecting on the kind of art produced under such conditions. She also condemned Columbia University's compliance with anti-woke policies, comparing it to the McCarthy era, and noted that artists of color have faced delayed or canceled commissions due to anti-DEI measures.

Prokofiev Studio: new gallery devoted to the abstract art of Oleg Prokofiev son of the composer & father of composer Gabriel Prokofiev

Composer Gabriel Prokofiev has opened Prokofiev Studio in Hackney, London, a new gallery dedicated to the abstract art of his father, Oleg Prokofiev (1928-1998). Oleg, son of the famed composer Sergei Prokofiev, created abstract works in the 1950s that defied the Soviet Union’s strict socialist realism doctrine. His career was shaped by his relationship with British art historian Camilla Gray, whom he married in 1969 after hiding his art for a decade; she died two years later. Oleg moved to the UK but believed his abstract works lost until a 1994 return to Moscow revealed they had been preserved. The gallery houses Oleg’s archive, including 1950s abstract artworks, letters, sketchbooks, and sculptures, with an inaugural exhibition titled "Bending Time" reconstructing his 1990s studio in Hackney Wick.
