Lehmann Maupin will now represent 28-year-old, New York–based artist Anna Park, it announced today. The gallery will co-represent Park, now the youngest artist on its roster, alongside BLUM. The Korean American artist is set to present her first solo exhibition with the gallery in London in 2026, marking her solo debut in the United Kingdom.

It’s so easy to get cynical about the vaunted “oner.” A staple of 21st-century film and television these days, the ambitious one-shot sequence is, at its best, a massive logistical feat in which a host of actors, cinematographers, cast and crew members, and visual effects artists build an impressively streamlined series of events playing out in real time. But as the oner has grown more feasible in recent years (particularly with the advent of special effects, which makes it easier to “stitch” different segments together to artificially simulate a longer shot), eagle-eyed viewers have grown jaded about them. What, exactly,…

Curator Aaditya Sathish recently recalled returning to Hong Kong from New York in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. It was, he said, a fascinating time. “From what I could understand, Hong Kong was very much a place to trade global contemporary art. But over the pandemic, there was a focus on the local. A lot of independent art spaces started to emerge, and I remember seeing everyone flock to these places,” he told ARTnews. “There was a desperate need to look at what was around us.” Indeed, Hong Kong’s art scene has been through a crash course in…
For jewelry artist Steven KP, collecting jewelry is often a way to celebrate their relationship with the piece’s maker. Acquiring another artist’s work through a trade or a purchase is “an incredible moment of exchange. It’s appreciation and acknowledgment of the immense labor and care that goes into the object,” they say. KP, who is based in Providence, RI, US, is known for their pendants and brooches carved from wood. These take the form of knots, ones that can never be unraveled.

(Photo Credit: StudioCanal) I hadn’t seen the Paddington movies until earlier this year in the lead-up to Paddington in Peru. I had heard a ton of praise for the second film from both critics and Pedro Pascal in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and after being utterly charmed by director Paul King’s Wonka, I was excited to check them out. Thankfully, it’s a movie that absolutely lives up to the hype, and having revisited it thanks to the new Paddington 2 4K release from Warner Bros., it’s still an utter delight to rewatch. “Paddington, now happily settled with the…
