The "Atalantia Garden Project_2025" exhibition by Michele Guido is displayed across two interconnected spaces at Paper Times Bookstore in Xiamen. The first space features a site-specific installation observable only from the outside. It creates a total habitat, showcasing "writings" that emerge from interactions between insects and plants. The floor is covered in lotus plant stems and bulbs arranged in a serpentine pattern inspired by the Atalantia leaf, which was collected from the Botanical Garden of Florence. The walls feature frottage works of Zelkova trunks and Robinia leaves, while other surfaces are decorated with pinned A4 sheets, adding visual lightness to the space. The second space, set within the library, contains six large dandelion leaves, also using the green serpentine motif. These are positioned between niches filled with books on gardens, plants, and insects. Visitors are invited to explore the books and observe the relationships between living beings, both human and non-human, reflected in the artwork.

Lia Rumma Gallery is pleased to announce its participation in Panorama Pozzuoli with a work by the artist William Kentridge. Panorama returns to Campania for its fifth edition, choosing the city of Pozzuoli as its setting, a place steeped in history, myth, and natural power. Promoted by ITALICS and curated by Chiara Parisi, the exhibition will focus on the theme of divination, understood as a reflection on the sacred and the connection between the human and the transcendent. In Pozzuoli, where ancient cults and evocative landscapes coexist with contemporary life, art becomes a tool to explore memory, spirituality, and collective archetypes.

I Am Hymns of the New Temples is a site-specific exhibition that entirely transforms La Grande Halle of LUMA Arles into an immersive experience that blurs the lines between the metaphysical and the real. The site of ancient Pompeii, the legendary city that was buried under ash and volcanic debris for centuries, is at the center of his display. Its outstanding state of conservation offers a fascinating record of the diversity of cultures that shaped its unique identity, at the crossroads of civilizations and trade routes. Intertwining history, stories and contemporary narratives, Shawky reinterprets the ancient Greek myth of creation, through a spectacular choreography of movement, images and sounds, alongside unique sculptural and painterly elements, reflecting on the human need to understand and make sense of the world.

In 2005, Marina Abramović re-performed seven iconic performance artworks, including Joseph Beuys’s How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare, with full permission and documentation. This material now informs ongoing research at the Joseph Beuys Archive and Museum Schloss Moyland, in collaboration with the Marina Abramović Institute (MAI). Building on this, a group of international artists will create new, site-specific, long-duration performances at the museum to reactivate its Beuys collection. For the first time, MAI will co-organise a month-long residency at Schloss Moyland, where artists will develop performances inspired by their on-site archival research, challenging traditional museum practices in favour of experimental approaches.

Conceived by Haim Steinbach to coincide with his exhibition at MACS, the Objects for People project features six individuals from diverse social backgrounds, filmed in their homes as they discuss objects they have arranged in their everyday surroundings. The interviews were conducted informally, without a prearranged questionnaire. The objects, selected at the beginning of each meeting, were then loaned by their owners for the duration of the exhibition, transitioning from the private sphere to the public space of the museum. In this installation, removed from their domestic context, they are arranged by the artist and presented in tandem with the video recordings. Ranging in age from 14 to 98, the participants in this project share a common trait: they cultivate unique, ritualistic relationships with their objects. The interviews delve into the different ways these relationships manifest – whether in the bonds that the objects establish among themselves, in the ways people connect with one another through the objects, or in their broader social functions as markers of identity and distinction. These portraits subtly reveal how individuals interact with the objects around them and what they seek to express through their selection, presentation, and juxtaposition.
