From March 6 to May 31, 2026, the Vienna Secession presents Circus , a powerful new solo exhibition by British artist Marianna Simnett, bringing together light, sound, and sculptural works in a deeply immersive exploration of memory, identity, and bodily experience. Opening on March 5, the exhibition draws on Simnett’s Yugoslav heritage and personal family history, weaving together references to folklore, performance, and historical trauma. Central to the project is the idea

Perched above the shimmering waters of Gelendzhik Bay, this newly completed villa on Russia’s Black Sea coast is more than a luxury residence. It is a living archive of travel, memory, and personal discovery—an elegant home shaped by a family’s lifelong passion for exploration. Designed by Oksana Trunova in collaboration with international furniture brand Dantone Home, the project transforms a dramatic coastal site in Gelendzhik into a refined, timeless retreat overlooking th

The year opens with her selection for New Contemporaries 2026, the UK’s premier showcase for emerging talent, currently showing at South London Gallery before touring to MIMA (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art) from May.

In May 2026, Austrian choreographer and performance artist Florentina Holzinger will represent her country at the Venice Biennale with SEAWORLD VENICE , a radical new commission that transforms the Austrian Pavilion into a living, breathing ecosystem of performance, ritual and resistance. Opening on 6 May and running until 22 November 2026, the project places water at its core. Not as a decorative motif, but as a political, physical and emotional force. Set within the fragile

Where architecture becomes part of the forest Set within the grounds of an intimate cottage settlement conceived by VFORM Studio, the House in Maslovo Park is a study in restraint, balance and quiet confidence. Rather than imposing itself on the landscape, the house is carefully positioned to converse with it, responding to sightlines, trees and seasonal change with a composure that feels both deliberate and effortless. Occupying a generous 1,800 square metre plot, the total

Berlin based gallery SOCIÉTÉ has announced a new chapter in the career of German artist Conny Maier, joining forces with Hauser & Wirth in a collaborative representation that positions Maier firmly on the international stage. Now living and working in Portugal, Maier’s practice is shaped by the tension between two distinct geographies. Her work forges visceral connections between landscape, climate, and human psychology, unfolding through scenes that merge geological pressure

In a world of art that often demands attention through spectacle, Leigh Witherell’s work quietly insists that we pause, look closer, and feel. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Witherell is a contemporary figurative artist whose canvases capture the unspoken, the intimate, and the profoundly human. Her acrylic compositions traverse vulnerability, grief, love, and introspection, inviting the viewer into moments they might otherwise overlook. From fine art nudes that celebra

In Yekaterinburg, a one hundred and thirteen square metre apartment has been transformed into a vivid expression of confidence, creativity and contemporary living. Designed by Alexander Tischler under the direction of lead designer Karen Karapetian, the two bedroom home belongs to a successful businesswoman who wanted more than comfort. She wanted a statement. Completed between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty five, the project reimagines the apartment as a space for hos

From January through early summer twenty twenty six, Max Ernst Museum becomes the setting for an immersive and unsettling new chapter in contemporary surrealism. Headless , a solo exhibition by Marianna Simnett, brings together new and earlier works in an expansive installation that unfolds like a lucid dream, disorienting, seductive and charged with symbolic tension. Opening on January thirtieth, the exhibition positions Simnett’s multidisciplinary practice within a lineage

From March to August twenty twenty six, Oscar Murillo will activate every layer of DAS MINSK Kunsthaus, transforming the museum into a site of movement, participation and exchange. Titled Collective Osmosis , the exhibition unfolds as a multi layered meditation on visibility, perception and the political dimensions of art in a globalised world. The project marks the first collaboration between DAS MINSK and Museum Barberini, with works by Murillo presented across both institu

Each spring, Paris offers a moment where the art world pauses, reflects and recalibrates. In twenty twenty six, that moment arrives once again as Art Paris returns to the Grand Palais for its twenty eighth edition, bringing together more than one hundred and sixty galleries from over twenty countries for four days of dialogue, discovery and cultural exchange. Running from the ninth to the twelfth of April, with a VIP and press preview on the eighth, Art Paris continues to str

There is a particular kind of confidence required to work with history. Not the bravado of imitation, nor the nostalgia of replication, but the quieter assurance of knowing when to listen and when to reinterpret. At Saint Petersburg’s Evgenievsky residential quarter, Babayants Architects approach heritage not as something frozen in time, but as a living foundation for contemporary life. Set within a restored cultural landmark, the project reimagines public interiors as spaces

Nadezda Stupina is not an artist who paints to fill a canvas. She paints to reveal herself, to chart the contours of her soul, and to offer a window into the way she experiences the world. From the earliest days of childhood, when she found herself torn between art, singing, and writing, Stupina recognised that the language she was most fluent in was visual. Supported by parents who encouraged her and her twin sister to pursue their passions, she embraced painting with a clar

Dobrika Bay, Villa Brionka, built in 1957 by Vinko Glanz, and the Byzantine castrum from the 1st century BC. Photo: Tom Wagner There are places in the world that feel less like destinations and more like memories. The Brioni Islands, scattered like polished stones along Croatia’s Adriatic coast, belong to this rare and evocative category. They rise from the sea as emerald fragments, where pine forests soften into gentle meadows and Roman ruins sit patiently in the grass, unto
