Artnet News's Wet Paint column reports that Lomex gallery founder Alexander Shulan and art advisor Ralph DeLuca are partnering to open a new gallery, Lomex Las Vegas, in an old atomic ranch home three miles from the Strip. The space, located in a historic neighborhood where parts of Martin Scorsese's 'Casino' were filmed, will feature seasonal exhibitions, performances, and events curated by Shulan, with a new roster of artists distinct from Lomex's existing lineup. Separately, the column introduces Marvin, an AI-generated Instagram influencer who mimics a techno-optimistic art speculator and leaves ChatGPT-style comments on art world accounts.

The Artists Who Put Their Bodies Into the Work

This article from Google News, dated May 3, 2026, profiles a selection of artists who have used their own bodies as central elements in their work. It draws a connection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring Costume Institute exhibition, "Costume Art," which places fashion in dialogue with other artworks. The roundup includes Marina Abramović, known for her 2010 MoMA performance "The Artist Is Present"; Chris Burden, who staged dangerous works like "Shoot" (1971); David Hammons, creator of the "Body Prints" series; Frida Kahlo, whose painting "The Broken Column" (1944) depicts her own physical pain; Ana Mendieta, whose "Silueta" series used her figure in the landscape; and Yoko Ono, a conceptual artist with a significant body-based practice.
