Opening today: an impressive museum filled with big colourful artworks by Gilbert & George.
Artist duo and self-titled ‘living sculptures’ Gilbert & George have been central to British art for decades – known best for their performances, but recently focusing more on wall-based, large-scale works. Here I am checking out The Paradisical Pictures at the new Gilbert & George Centre, just off Brick Lane in London. I've also reviewed the show for so you can read all about it.

Free to visit, this show will be on display until 1st October.

Commander brings a plethora of experience, leadership and knowledge to the position, most recently working as the deputy director of research and strategic initiatives at The New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

“A Romance Of…” is a dual exhibition of 3-D wood-based works by and explores the allure and materiality of wood in all its romantic, poetic, and shape-shifting qualities. Combining architectural, organic, and anthropomorphic forms with vivid color, both artists employ wood as a material in flux, offering us tender moments to revel in its beauty and potential.

“Wood plays games with time. It is both fast and slow, dead but still moving, and can rewind and fast forward in time.” —Cathy Della Lucia

“I came to see wood as a material that could create space: both sacred and intimate.” —Elspeth Schulze

Ana Silva's creativity is expressed through the plurality of her materials. Canvas, wood, metal, acrylic, and fabric are both the materials that surround her and the forms of her art. During her walks in the markets of Lunda, she diverts the primary use of raffia bags or other doilies to make a work of memory. ‘I cannot separate my work from my experience in Angola, at a time when access to materials was difficult due to the war of independence and the civil war,’ Silva says on her transformation of the abandoned object into a revived one. ‘My creativity came from exploring my immediate environment.’ From her different techniques such as painting, drawing, collage, and metal oxidation, she retains the practice of sewing and associates lace with African fabrics and colours. Silva's aesthetic is a story delicately suggested behind lace and nets where female figures are revealed.⁠

In July, 2022, Buro Stedelijk was announced, conceived as an initiative of the Stedelijk Museum in close collaboration with de Rijksakademie and De Ateliers, with the aim to bridge the missing link between the studio practices, academic training programs, the galleries into close dialogue with the museum. Buro Stedelijk is conceived as a multidisciplinary space, with a focus on the production process, fuelled by the creative scene in Amsterdam, with an international dimension. A place where curators, artists and other makers have the freedom to create and present new work and which will give fresh impetus to contemporary cultural production in Amsterdam.⁠
⁠
Rita Ouédraogo is a curator, programmer, writer and researcher, and was curator and program coordinator at Framer Framed in Amsterdam. She was Research Programmer and (Community) Collaboration Officer at the Research Center for Material Culture (RCMC) of the Tropenmuseum, Museum Volkenkunde, Wereldmuseum and Afrika Museum in the Netherlands. ⁠
⁠
Azu Nwagbogu is an internationally acclaimed curator, interested in evolving new models of engagement with questions of decolonization, restitution, and repatriation. In his practice, the exhibition becomes an experimental site for reflection, civic engagement, ecology and repatriation – both tangible and symbolic.⁠

Roxane Gay is known for her laser-sharp wit in cultural criticism and nonfiction works, but lesser known is her growing practice as an art collector. Her partner—writer, artist, educator, and curator Debbie Millman—has steadily amassed an impressive trove of contemporary art that ranges from outsider art to Andy Warhol. Together, they are building an art collection across their homes in Los Angeles and New York that reflects a shared vision, and allows them to live with art that supports their cultural missions.⁠

Made over 100 years ago, the monumental Hartwell Memorial Window is a pinnacle achievement in the medium of stained glass.

The majestic scene captures the transitory beauty of nature—the sun setting over a mountain, flowing water, and dappled light dancing through the trees—in an intricate arrangement of vibrantly colored glass.

Artist and Poet Julien Creuzet (.creuzet) Will Represent France at the Venice Biennale in 2024.⁠
⁠
The French-Caribbean artist is known for his suspended sculptures and wall pieces made out of found materials.⁠
⁠
Born in 1986, Creuzet’s career has experienced a rapid ascent in recent years after winning the Camden Arts Centre Emerging Artist Prize at the 2019 edition of Frieze London. Over the past year, he has had institutional exhibitions at LUMA in Arles and the Camden Art Centre in London. He has also had solo shows in Paris at the Centre Pompidou in 2021 and, in 2019, at the Palais de Tokyo.⁠
⁠
Working both as a visual artist and a poet, Creuzet fuses the two art forms into suspended sculptures and wall pieces made out of found materials, including waste. These intricate works are then grouped together to create complex installations. Textually, Creuzet borrows from the writings of intellectual figures and philosophers like Édouard Glissant and Aimé Césaire to examine his relationship to his ancestral home of Martinique, the diasporic experience, and the history of French colonialism.⁠
⁠
“In his work, poetry infuses with strength and generosity a plurality of practices: sculpture, text, video, music, performance, and new technologies,” the committee said in a statement. “These different elements compose immersive and multi-sensory worlds animated by whispered memories. His singular practice and his talent for oral literature are guided by creolization and bring together a diversity of materials, stories, shapes, and gestures.”⁠

John Akomfrah recounts his artistic beginnings.

“When you’re a kid, you’re made by paintings because they teach you to be a human being,” says the artist in our “London” episode. “They didn’t teach me to be a Black person, but they taught me to be a human being.”

John Akomfrah creates enormous, multi-channel video installations that blend archival and original footage and audio. While visiting the Britain, the artist recounts his artistic beginnings, and contextualizes the greater forces that have shaped his life and work.

“Slowly, it dawned on me, that it’s a sort of temple of whiteness, everywhere you look you can see it. And that whiteness is offered to you by the paintings as a sort of vision of excellence. It’s almost like a psychoanalytic moment of becoming. The very thing that you love may well be also the thing that’s keeping you in a state of discomfort about your place in the culture.

And so, you have to find another way of coming at the thing you love, by embellishing it with other histories and other stories and other narratives.

I became interested in making multi screen films because it seemed a way of bringing disparate interests together. In a project in which you’ve shot material yourself, having archival material immediately says, multiplicity or voices at work, rather than a voice.

I’m more choreographer than creator.”
