Tasneem Sarkez reworks language, image, and everyday objects into shifting signs of cultural memory, translation, and Arab kitsch. Her paintings and sculptures turn consumer goods, portraits, and digital fragments into semantic units that question how identity is composed and re-composed across diasporic experience. Writing on her practice, Leo Cocar traces how Sarkez navigates hybridity, mimicry, and desire, revealing the quiet power held in what is translated, withheld, or misread.

Zora Sicher’s “Geography” traces the intimacies that shape a life, mapping bodies, friendship, and fleeting encounters across years of transition. Her images collapse public and private space, revealing how desire, kinship, and q***rness move through landscapes and one another. In the accompanying introduction, Rose Higham-Stainton situates Sicher’s photographs within a broader, restless field of relations – where intimacy becomes a way of seeing, sensing, and continuously remaking the world.

“A projection dances in the corner of the first gallery: a purple thistle, a symbol of Palestinian resilience for its ability to grow in harsh mountainous terrain, hovers and jumps across the multiple planes common in Abbas and Abou-Rahme’s installations. This fragmented display adds dimension and complexity — as well as the potential to withhold parts of images through shadow — to the typically uninterrupted, flat surfaces that projections demand.”

alfatih transforms travel, voice notes, and shifting terrains into a mode of play where rules blur and agency becomes experimental. From hallucinatory trains to kites, drones, and machine logics, his practice navigates soft power and strategic choice. In conversation with Jazmina Figueroa, their long-distance exchange unfolds like one of his games – iterative, intuitive, and full of latent paths – revealing the human pulse behind systems, machines, and the art of playing.

“Unlike Cocteau’s cinematic exploration, Antin’s collection offers no poetry, revealing very little of the poets (other than their willingness to make themselves available to the young artist and have their fingers pricked for her art). What it does show, however, is the cunning sense of humor the artist cultivated, and the way it draws widely held conceptions into question, of what art could be and what artists could do. In the 1970s, Antin herself enters the frame, using her body as a site of a feminist critique that pokes fun at conventions of art.”

Tommy Xie builds q***r emotional worlds where softness turns sharp, desire blurs into power, and vulnerability becomes strategy. In his surreal, melancholic interiors, figures glow with contradictions –– tender cunning, self-possessed. In conversation with Moa Jegnell, Xie traces the darker turn in his practice, revealing how psychological tension, intimacy and cultural memory shape his meticulously crafted paintings. A quiet, potent universe where stillness speaks and feeling becomes form.

Xie’s solo show “The Chasing Game” is on view at .info, Dallas, through December 13, 2025.

Oslo’s waterfront museum district reveals a city confidently shaping the future of contemporary art. At Astrup Fearnley Museet, the gripping retrospective of Lutz Bacher, “Burning the Days,” anchors a company yet ambitious ecosystem. A host walk away, the MUNCH Museum’s 2025 MUNCH Triennale, “Almost Unreal,” expands the conversation, probing the shifting boundaries of technology and perception. In tracing these encounters, Alessio Avventuroso captures a cultural landscape that feels both grounded and boldly forward-looking.

The Winter issue of Flash Art features a special project by Versace: a visual essay with photographs by Tyrone Leone and a text by Hugo Bausch Belblachir. Moving through emotion, heritage, and a “consciousness transcending the realm of fashion itself,” the essay reflects on Versace’s history, exploring intimacy, subtle eroticism, and the interplay between past and present.

#353 WINTER 2025–26 “the z issue” IS OUT NOW

Amid a culture moving faster than it can name itself, we’re living through eras that dissolve on arrival. Aesthetic thresholds appear and vanish, leaving us suspended in a state of constant overexposure — where every “new wave” feels urgent and already obsolete. “the z issue” emerges from this velocity, shaped by artists under thirty whose work reflects fluid identities, blurred generational markers, and a world split between the physical and the digital. Their practices don’t just describe the present moment; they absorb it, bend it, and metabolize it into something newly alive.
