“Fame assumes the character of a new religion: notoriety as resurrection, legacy as salvation.”

Presented by LAS Art Foundation, Christelle Oyiri’s audio-visual installation ‘Dead God Flow’ engaged with the figure of the rapper as both martyr and gladiator. Oscillating between elegy and critique, in Oyiri’s words, the show understood that “death is not an ending but a loop, a broken god’s beat still pulsing.”

As the first article published as part of our feature topic Ghosts, Eve Rogers writes on ‘Dead God Flow,’ discussing inheritance, welcome hauntings, and how music can become the site of a viable and resonant afterlife.

Opening this Thursday, November 13, Akademie der Künste presents group exhibition and festival ‘Every Artist Must Take Sides – Resonances of Eslanda and Paul Robeson.’

Grounded in words exclaimed by civil rights activists Eslanda and Paul Robeson in 1937, the program asks what it means to align art with action. It brings together twelve international artists, including Sonya Clark, Masimba Hwati, Patricia Kaersenhout, and Ariel Orah, alongside archival footage of the Robesons. Through sculpture, film, performance, and installation, the program navigates histories of resistance and their contemporary reverberations.

To read more about ‘Every Artist Must Take Sides,’ including information on the performances and activations taking place at the opening reception, read our preview article by Eve Rogers:

“The works conjure a strange and uncomfortable intimacy as digital and corporeal selves merge, memory and technology folding into one another.”

PalaisPopulaire presents ‘Make a travel deep of your inside, and don’t forget me to take,’ an exhibition by Charmaine Poh, the 2025 Deutsche Bank Artist of the Year. In the essence of both a pilgrimage and a dream, Poh transforms the gallery into a passage inward: a choreography of reflection, philosophy and fluidity.

Eve Rogers writes on the exhibition, discussing aquatic rooms, the Ma Jie, a community of migrant women from southern China who served as domestic workers in Singapore, and snails as unlikely emblems of queerness.

Introducing our new feature topic for November and December, Ghosts. ⁠

In the shadow of Halloween and Dia de los Mu***os, upcoming feature topic articles delve into the spectral. While the supernatural seems to be having a resurgence in art circles right now, Derridean “hauntology” populating press releases, we also want to look at the ways in which history—whether collective or personal—leaves traces that persist despite attempts to bury or forget them.

Over the coming months, pieces consider the internet as a repository of memories that can be exorcised through Mark Leckey’s ‘Enter Thru Medieval Wounds’ at Julia Stoschek Foundation, histories of racial violence that haunt the present through Ligia Lewis’s exhibition at Gropius Bau, and art’s interest in ghostly figures over the past 250 years through the group show ‘Ghosts: Visualizing the Supernatural’ at Kunstmuseum Basel.

Each month, we compile a list of stand-out, international exhibitions we’re excited about. Here is one of our top exhibition selections for the month of November.⁠

Presented at The Photographers’ Gallery in London, ‘Ukrainian Diary’ is a major retrospective of artist Boris Mikhailov and his decades-long engagement with Ukraine’s social and political landscape. Blending stark realism with moments of humor and provocation, Mikhailov captured the complexities of life in the Soviet Union and the aftermath of its collapse. Viewed in the current context of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the work resonates with renewed urgency, inviting international audiences to reflect on memory, survival and the enduring human spirit amid social and political upheaval.

This exhibition is on view now until February 22. To see the full list of top exhibitions to see in November:

“The element of stillness to her images necessitated a point of connection, in that her subjects were almost always looking into the lens of the camera or at Arbus herself.”

Gropius Bau presents ‘Konstellationen,’ the largest survey of works by Diane Arbus. The exhibition features 454 darkroom prints, most of which were shot between the late 1950s up until her death in 1971, and offers insight into the life of an artist with an insatiable desire to enter spaces largely forbidden to her.

As the final instalment in our feature topic Weird, Olivia Noss writes on ‘Konstellationen,’ discussing the feeling of being surveilled in the exhibition architecture, worshipping the eccentric, and the difference between what you want people to know about you, and what you can’t help people knowing about.

“Each photo shows him in a new configuration of limbs and ennui, parodying the poised grace of Henry Moore’s famous reclining figures and the self-importance of academic sculpture displays.”

‘I Want My Crown’ is an exhibition of works by Glaswegian artist Bruce McLean, presented by Modern One in Edinburgh on the occasion of McLean’s 80th birthday. Leaning into the artist’s sharp wit, the exhibition sets out to frame him as saboteur of the art world, poking fun at materials, display protocols and the social and institutional hierarchies that keep the score.

As part of our feature topic Weird, Johanna Siegler writes on the exhibition, discussing keeping jokes alive, subtle critical poignancy, and the artist getting the last laugh.

“The coherence in her practice is found in the way she deftly inhabits the middle ground, portraying it in its very disjuncture and productive incommensurability.”

‘Leap Year’ is a sprawling survey exhibition of works by Haegue Yang presented by Migros Museum in Zurich. Broadly covering Yang’s practice to date, the exhibition is divided into four core themes: movement, spirituality, community, and domesticity.

Alison Hugill writes on ‘Leap Year,’ discussing fragmentation, cracking open of one’s previously entrenched sense of self, and an ancestral memory of place.

“No matter how much scientific knowledge of climate change we might have, I think it’s not until we form an emotional connection that it can deeply move us towards climate action.”

Against the backdrop of the Arctic landscape, Australian filmmaker and artist Adam Sébire presents ‘Sikoqqinngisaannassooq,’ turning his lens towards the small island community of Uummannaq in northern Greenland. The film functions as a call to arms and an attempt to capture, preserve and bear witness, before the ice and its inhabitants are irrevocably altered.

Eve Rogers interviews Sébire, discussing grasping the fact of climate change, the realities of filming in -15ºC temperatures, and the landscape being a character in Sébire’s film.

‘Sikoqqinngisaannassooq’ is presented at Interfilm, the 41st International Short Film Festival Berlin taking place November 4–9. The film is included in Interfilm’s GREEN FILM COMPETITION program Earthbound.
