David Novros’s Portable Murals

David Novros’s latest exhibition at Paula Cooper Gallery showcases his "portable murals," intricate multi-paneled paintings that challenge the traditional concept of art as a mere object on a wall. Utilizing oil and murano on canvas, Novros assembles monochromatic, L-shaped, and horizontal panels with precise intervals that incorporate the gallery wall into the composition. These works are designed to be experienced kinesthetically, responding to shifting natural light and the viewer's physical movement through the space.

Amid government intervention, Slovak artists and curators call for EU law to protect freedoms

On 25 August, the Slovak National Gallery (SNG) removed a large permanent installation by artist Denisa Lehocká, allegedly without her permission and in violation of contract terms. The removal, which Lehocká calls a "gross violation," occurred amid a broader crisis at the institution, which has seen multiple directors fired and mass employee resignations under the country's populist government. The incident is part of a pattern of government intervention in the arts, including the firing of museum directors by Culture Minister Martina Šimkovičová, who has targeted "progressive art." In response, Slovak artists and organizations like Otvorená Kultúra! have issued the Bratislava Declaration for Artistic Freedom, calling on the EU to adopt a European Artistic Freedom Act to protect creative expression.

Collector’s eye: the art Kyongho Kim has bought and why

Kyongho Kim, a Seoul-based dentist and art collector, discusses his journey into collecting contemporary art, which began in 2019 when he bought his first painting to fill bare walls in his new home. He now owns around 250 works, including pieces by Hernan Bas, Genieve Figgis, Scott Kahn, and Jack Kabangu, and describes his philosophy as stewardship rather than ownership. The interview, published by The Art Newspaper, covers his first purchase (Byung-Rock Yoon's *Scent of Autumn*), his regret over missing a George Condo piece, and his love for art fairs like Frieze Seoul, where he acquired a work by Marina Perez Simão.
