This spring, it’s Paris calling. The French capital’s recent art history is the subject of two monumental surveys—one at the Centre Pompidou, the other at the Singaporean National Gallery of Art—that respectively focus on Black and Asian émigrés who took up residence in France.

Germanophiles, too, are in luck. Anselm Kiefer is having two of the biggest shows of his career, both in Amsterdam, and the Fondazione Prada is…

Palianytsia, meaning “bread” in Ukrainian, was the title of Zhanna Kadyrova’s 2022 pop-up exhibition with Galleria Continua in Venice. There, she showed a series of river stones shaped and cut like bread (when combined with salt, a traditional symbol of hospitality in Ukraine). Yet, at the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the word palianytsia, which Russians struggle to…

On the surface, last year’s Oscar night that celebrated studio filmmaking with 7 richly-deserved Academy Awards won by “Oppenheimer” couldn’t have been more different than this year’s. Contrastingly, the 97th Academy Awards that took place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater on Sunday had independent film at its heart through and through. Tying a record with Walt Disney as the filmmaker who won the most Oscars on one night (and setting a new record for collecting all those awards for the same movie), Sean Baker picked up 4 gold statues for his breathtaking “Anora” in Editing, Original Screenplay, Director, and Picture, with…
