A brush with… Mary Kelly—podcast

This podcast episode features an in-depth conversation with pioneering conceptual and feminist artist Mary Kelly, now 84 and based in Los Angeles. She reflects on her groundbreaking works such as *Post-Partum Document* (1973-77) and *Interim* (1984-89), her move to Beirut in the 1960s, the influence of May 1968, and her lifelong commitment to non-figurative art after encountering Franz Kline's work at age 15. The episode also covers her current exhibition *We don't want to set the world on fire* at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London, running until January 2026.

Miami's Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP) Gallery has opened the seventh edition of its series program, titled “Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd.” The group exhibition features dozens of artists who created circular, tondo-like fiber works inspired by absurdist philosophers and writers such as Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Simone de Beauvoir, Samuel Beckett, and José Saramago. Works include RemiJin Camping's cyanotype in an embroidery hoop referencing Kafka's *The Metamorphosis* and Mychaelyn Michalec's hand-tufted wool piece *The Pietà and The Swan*. The show runs through December 20, 2025.

Anyone can say something against injustice. This group uses artwork to do that.

The exhibition "Instructions for Unrest: Art Against Complacency" has opened at Art Produce Gallery in San Diego, featuring a group of artists who utilize their work as a tool for political and social disruption. Curated by Alessandra Moctezuma in collaboration with the nonprofit Space 4 Art, the show presents a diverse range of media aimed at addressing issues such as immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and environmental policy.

‘My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein’ by Deborah Levy, Reviewed

Deborah Levy’s latest novel, *My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein*, follows a first-person narrator who travels to Paris to research the American writer and collector Gertrude Stein. The narrative slips between the early twentieth century and the autumn of Donald Trump’s 2024 reelection, using stream-of-consciousness prose and liquid metaphors to blur past and present. The narrator’s research into Stein’s role in shaping modernity becomes a vehicle for exploring her own sense of helplessness and lack of agency in a hyperconnected, war-weary present.
