In this newly commissioned text, Makenna Goodman () maps the rhythms of a fractured, divided world oscillating between chaos and dormant hope—a zeitgeist of contemporary preoccupations and anxieties where destruction and creativity intertwine, rendering the everyday both unbearable and beautifully absurd.

“Aleksandra Domanović understands how the primacy of public monuments has faded with the dissolution of Yugoslavia, where she was born and spent her young years. Through her work, she reflects on the possibility for a monument to exist in multiple forms, transcending its architecture and gesturing toward the sovereignty of technological achievements, material or immaterial.”

In Charisse Pearlina Weston’s art, Baroque aesthetics make a comeback. Yet, to Pujan Karambeigi, her sculptures replace the seventeenth-century preference for marble with glass, lead, and concrete, resulting in a drama of materials presented in three acts: order gives way to dynamism; substance is replaced by appearance; and, finally, the sculpture embodies an anguish of the soul.

Philosopher is well known for his diagnoses of digital-age ills, especially how we exhaust ourselves via screen addiction and the continual pursuit of achievement. His contemplative remedy for “burnout” tends to receive less attention. describes it in the excerpts from “Byung-Chul Han: A Critical Introduction” (Polity Press, 2024), co-authored with Ethan Stoneman and Robert Wyllie.

“Maybe this isn’t capitalism anymore but something worse. Whatever it is, it doesn’t just want to extract labor and desire; it wants to connect directly to the drive, to stimulate and replicate it.” McKenzie Wark dials into Shu Lea Cheang’s practice, one that has, since the 1990s, been pushing the limits of media art. Through genre bending films, Cheang proposes a language for working in and against an environment that is toxic, unstable, and extractive, inviting us to consider the enduring role of media activism in a world shaped by pervasive monitoring and control.

To Liberty Andrien, an uncanny presence transcends the material forms of Beatrice Bonino’s sculptures. Existing as bodies held in palpable tension, they convey an unsettling sense of crisis—or perhaps ambivalence, of fleeting moments suspended in time.

“‘Vai, Vai, Saudade’ at MADRE, Naples, with nearly two hundred works by over fifty artists spread across around twenty rooms, sees curator Cristiano Raimondi () eschewing monumentality for the sake of fragility, trading totalizing narratives for an ebb and flow of histories introduced as encounters between close and more distant individuals—but, as the exhibition goes on to prove, never complete strangers. And, quite aptly, it starts with words.”

“‘How many holes are in your work?’ It’s a question you might expect a writer to ask. But an artist? Kameelah Janan Rasheed isn’t just any artist: ‘I’m a writer who finds different substrates to write on.’ She posed this Socratic quip during a walk-through of her exhibition at REDCAT, Los Angeles. ‘There are holes in this show. I want you to come in and leave your experience.’ Maybe it’s not so much a question of how many holes I find in Rasheed’s exhibition, but about bringing this how into dialogue with ‘what are the holes’ and ‘why do I/we need to get inside them?’”

The six large first-floor rooms of Le Consortium in Dijon barely contain the productive energy of Isabella Ducrot’s exhibition, aptly titled “Profusione,” “abundance.” Ducrot is ninety-three years old, born in Naples and based in Rome. Presenting a collection of more than seventy artworks comprising work on paper, fabrics and collages, all produced between 2016 and 2024, the artist expresses an expansive desire to create works of a palpable mesmerizing lightness; they vibrate as one passes.
