Raphael Fonseca has been appointed as the new visual arts programmer at Culturgest in Lisbon, the cultural foundation of the Portuguese bank Caixa Geral de Depósitos.

New York è così cara che ormai non è più possibile produrre arte e cultura in città
Artist and curator Josh Kline has sparked a significant industry debate with his essay, "New York Real Estate and the Ruin of American Art," which argues that the city's prohibitive real estate market is dismantling its cultural foundation. Kline posits that the financialization of property and the disappearance of affordable lofts and mid-size galleries have created an unsustainable ecosystem where only those with independent wealth can survive. This economic pressure is forcing a generation of creative workers to choose between their practice and basic survival, leading to a stagnation of innovation.
