The British artists Jane and Louise Wilson, who dislike being referred to as twins, continue to work in film and photography, although like the Chapman ... (more)
- Today Flesh in Venice
- Titian's art drinks in the air and light of his native city and breathes it out across the worldTitian is an artist who travels well. The very name we know him by in the English-speaking world, derived from Tiziano, is testament to his capacity to take root in cultures remote from his own. In his later life, he painted for export, sending paintings by ship from his native Venice to his employer, the Spanish king. Amazingly, he was on salary as a Habsburg court artist, paid lavishly first by Char... (more)

The idea of the website is to document the curatorial process by sharing findings, ... (more)

Kunsthal Nikolaj in Copenhagen has kicked-off the upcoming football World Cup with an exhibition of works that in different ways are linked to the world of football.

Team-shirts are remixed in Floor Wesseling's Blood in Blood out and the very template of the game is challenged in Asger Jorn's Three Sided Football (pictured). Asger Jorn developed the concept in the sixties and today the game is still occasionally played.
