London • Yayoi Kusama at the Tate Modern

Extended until June 2023 the exhibition of Infinity Mirrored Room and Chandelier of Grief

She came from Matsumoto to New York in 1958 to free herself from the limits imposed by a conservative upbringing that did not approve ofhercreativevocation. Yayoi Kusama immediately found herself facing new challenges, struggling to emerge in a field that is highly distrustful and mostly dominated by white males .

New York • Barbara Kruger at MoMA

The artist’s research focuses on female identity, its use in the media and the use of stereotypes

Liminal space by definition, that between life and art, made up of encounters and contrasts that are never quite defined, generating other equally liminal spaces, separated by the blurred boundaries between different arts. At the entrance to one of these thresholds, ut pictura poësis has always been written: as in painting so in poetry.

Lisa Borgiani's intelligent initiative

The artist photographed ordinary people in important European capitals and asked them "What is Europe to you?"

What is Europe to you? Is a photographic and literary project created and carried out by the eclectic Lisa Borgiani since 2019, with the curatorial contribution of Gigliola Foschi and texts by Marta Ottaviani.

Vangi at Rovereto's Mart dialogues with Pisano, Donatello, Michelangelo 

His gesture seems to question man without sealing him in a time frame: Giuliano Vangi feeds on sublime classicism, anguished expressiveness and sometimes bare abstraction to express a sculpture that seeks no labels. It is precisely for this reason he is able to dialogue with the past and the future thanks to the suggestion of a material that places him in a continuous present that is always prodigal of palpable emotions.

Falling in love at the museum

Summer, desire for sea, sun, relax and for who can - often for who couldn’t too - for new lovers. Don’t you know how to find them? Try with an invitation to a museum. Word of Semir Zeki, Professor of Neurophysiology at the London University college and founder of the institute of neuroaesthetics at the University of California in Berkeley. A group of volunteers was asked to observe 28 paintings including Monet’s Bathers at La Grenouillière and Constable’s Salisbury Cathedral. The results?

First of all, in order to buy NFTs, it is necessary to have a crypto wallet. If you consider how a traditional wallet contains both coins and bills, a digital wallet contains NFTs and cryptocurrencies. It is in reality similar to a debit card. Every cryptocurrency address in the wallet has a public and private key. The first can be provided to anyone, just as you can publicly share your bank account or email address. However, the public key or password does not allow access to the funds in the account.

In an edition unbalanced on women and African art, even the prizes are adjusted

An unconventional and courageous Biennial that gives voice to those who until now have had none, in an upside-down artistic panorama where the art of the European white man, the center and measure of everything, is replaced by the artistic practice of the rest of the world: non-Western and non-white, with a clear imbalance on the feminine. An “other” perspective, a sort of rectification of the system, open to “afroglossia” and “polyglossia” against all immobility and discrimination.

A walk through the pavilions

Visiting the 59th Biennale forces one to remember that history is cyclical, and this unfortunately is often a sad truth. The occurrences and recurrences of history, theorized at the end of the 1600s by Giovan Battista Vico, appear in all their chilling reality when, strolling through the Giardini, one arrives in front of the closed pavilion of Russia surrounded by a cold silence.

Alemani says she chose the fantastical creatures from Carrington’s "The Milk of Dreams" for a journey through the metamorphosis of bodies and a new definition of human

“May you Live in interesting times,” read the title of the 2019 Biennale; that said, a pandemic conjuncture, a war e, a climate of cancel culture and social distancing, and increasingly invasive technology accompany the new edition of the Biennale.
