Portugal today marks the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, the country's peaceful transition from one of the longest authoritarian governments in Europe to democracy. A pivotal moment in the country's history, it earned its named because people handed out carnations to soldiers in a bloodless coup led by group of left-wing group of army officers who overthrew the government of António de Oliveira Salazar, which had ruled the country since 1932. It also marked the end of the Portuguese Colonial War in which Lisbon was fighting independence movements in colonies in Angola and Mozambi...

First Nations artist, Archie Moore, has clinched the prestigious Golden Lion Award for Best National Participation at the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale. This is the first time an Australian artist has received this honour. Moore's work "Kith and Kin" explores his Australian aboriginal and British ancestry and spans an incredible 65,000 years. Moore traced his family history back to create a family tree, which he carefully drew in chalk on the black walls of the Australia Pavilion. The work thus examines First Nation Australian history and the impact of colonisation. In a speech recognisi...

Sunsets in calm ports, ships in waveless waters, and young men and women looking into the distance - these serene scenes encapsulate the essence of German Romanticism as depicted by the renowned painter Caspar David Friedrich. Now, the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin is hosting a major exhibition showcasing 115 of his landscape masterpieces. The showcase honours the 250th anniversary of Friedrich's birth, who is hailed as one of Germany's preeminent artists over the past two centuries. But Friedrich's artistic legacy wasn't always celebrated. Born in Greifswald, northeastern Germany, in 1774, h...

Entitled ‘Foreigners Everywhere’, the 2024 Venice Biennale has at its core the exploration of identity. The international show is notably - and for some anachronistically - organised into national pavilions. Prompted by the theme, many countries have chosen to examine ideas of nationhood, belonging and foreignness. Collectively, however, this also raises the question of how valid the Biennale’s division of exhibitors into national showrooms continues to be. ‘You are always, deep down inside, a foreigner’The 60th edition of the international exhibition, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, takes its tit...

Not long after the Sony World Photography Award Creative Category winner was announced last year, the victor came clean with a surprising revelation. German photographer Boris Eldagsen admitted that his first prize-winning photograph ‘The Electrician’ was actually an AI-generated image. Eldagsen had created the image using the popular AI-image creating tool DALL-E 2. He turned down the prize, citing his motivation for entering to see if “competitions are prepared for AI images. They are not.” A year on from his famous refusal, the Palmer Gallery in London is hosting an exhibition of his and ot...

A major collateral exhibition at the 2024 Venice Biennale will be dedicated to the iconography and symbolism of breasts. They are a fixture of art, whether it’s a 16th-century devotional painting of the breastfeeding Virgin or a wearable breastplate from 20th-century fashion design, as the show highlights. ‘Breasts’, at Palazzo Franchetti, showcases works from old masters to modern publicity, spanning the realms of painting, sculpture, photography and film. Curated by Carolina Pasti, the show reflects on a range of themes including motherhood, empowerment, sexuality, body image and illness. It...

Often hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern sculpture, Romanian-born Constantin Brancusi was fully embraced by his adopted country France – and the feeling was mutual. When the sculptor died in 1957, he left the French government his Paris studio, where he had completed the majority of his works from 1916 until his death. Brancusi’s studio became a jewel in the Centre Pompidou’s collection, and was fully reconstructed on the parvis outside the museum’s walls in 1997. As the Centre Pompidou undergoes renovation works, the museum has taken the opportunity to give Brancusi’s studio a li...

The familiar face of Winston Churchill takes on a new hue in a vibrant exhibition recently unveiled at the Serpentine Gallery, located in London's Hyde Park. In a bold move to confront the complexities of history, artist Yinka Shonibare breathes fresh life into the former-British Prime minister and other historical figures like Queen Victoria and Herbert Kitchener, challenging viewers to reconsider their legacies. Shonibare's work is a response to the contentious debate surrounding statues of figures linked to slavery, colonialism, and racial oppression. Instead of advocating for their removal...

In a seat of aristocratic opulence, 100 life-size cast iron figures stand looking out in different directions. Clearly they are human, but get a little closer and their faces appear formless, blurred. In spite of this - or perhaps because of it - their every gaze is penetrating. One of the only things we can know about these enigmatic sculptures is that they are all male, for they are nude. Moulded, in fact, on the artist’s own physique. This is Time Horizon, the latest work from English artist Antony Gormley, opening this week (April 21) to visitors of Houghton Hall, an 18th-century estate ho...
