Adopt a baby at the Venice Biennale (). This is Ei Arakawa-Nash’s (.arakawa.nash) toddler takeover of the Japanese Pavilion. It’s a fun work that puts a smile on your face while pushing the boundaries of art and artistic performance.

The work is an immersive, participatory journey built around notions of care, kinship, and collective identity. They bring this shared experience of raising a child to the forefront. For some, that might be a familiar, comforting feeling. While for others, like myself, it offered a rather unexpected emotional twist. Carrying one of the 200 dolls through the pavilion is no small thing: the physical weight of each baby makes tangible the burden, the difficulty and the responsibility of care work, labor that is so often invisible.

The new Park Seo-bo Museum (PARKSEOBO MUSEUM) is now open. An ethereal space that kicks off with a dual show between the Dansaekwha master and Huong Dodinh. A journey discovering the spiritual connection between the two artists ➡️

The classic calm of Park Seo-bo. Ecriture series in all forms and colors. To me, the lines point downwards to ground you and point upwards to inspire.

One of the most meaningful “rendezvous” was reuniting with this piece by Huong Dodinh. It’s a piece I’ve seen twice in her Paris studio, and one that has never left my mind since.

We share a birth year (me and the painting)… and I get lost in the field of her mark making.

Further throughout the space, Park Seo-bo’s colors cut through the darkness.

And on the top floor, a sort of heavenly reveal with more works by Huong Dodinh. A graceful touch to the way the forms sort of fall or float up.

One of my favorite shares of blue.

Can’t show PSB without a side view.

Black on black.

I see two spirits. One pulling the other up.

Older ecriture.

The artist herself + some friends.

A nice tree that I was not supposed to take photos of.

And ending with this black piece. Not only does this piece and this show exude a sense of calmness, they absorb the noise around, filtering it out completely.

I’ve lived in Seoul for six years but still get asked one question the most: why did I move here? I answer that question and more in our latest YouTube video in collaboration with Louis Vuitton (). In the full video, I briefly take you around Seoul to a variety of cultural spots before arriving at ‘LV The Place Seoul, Shinsegae The Reserve’ in Myeongdong. It’s the site of Korea’s first department store established in 1930, and it’s now home to a cross-cultural experience that brings together retail, art, fashion, and food.

Further inside the building, I also take you through their exhibition: ‘Louis Vuitton Visionary Journeys Seoul’. It’s an exhibition that looks back on the history and heritage of Louis Vuitton, all the way back to his origins as a trunkmaker.

For our community in Seoul: you can meet me there on September 1, 2026 at 6:30 PM for a full docent tour of the exhibition. It’s our way to ease into the art week and a good introduction to how the lines between art, luxury, and fashion are increasingly blurred. Link in bio to sign up for the tour!

Special thanks to for also partnering with us on our annual Seoul Art Guidebook. This year’s edition will be distributed all week around Seoul’s leading galleries and museums, available from 8/31.

Patricia Ayres (Patricia Ayres) draws from structures of societal constraint, the moral framework of Catholicism, systems of incarceration, and ideals of the body. Informed by her education in fashion, her sculptures are shaped by a process that deepens and expands upon these conceptual sources.

Her connection to Catholicism is deeply personal: her grandparents were a Catholic nun and priest who left the Church to be together, a story that continues to nourish her practice and drives her to unpack the systems of constraint such a history can generate.

We caught up last winter in her studio, ahead of her latest commission on the High Line (The High Line), which is now on view through May 2027.

We made it back to YDP (ydp_space) just in time before their first group show, Unlicensed Goods, closes this weekend. It’s a major survey of Asian and Asian diasporic artists exploring the ad hoc networks and shadow economies that accompany the global movements of manufactured goods and migrant communities. Billy Tang () takes us through.

A little bit about YDP: it’s a non-profit dedicated to supporting artists of diverse Asian backgrounds, drawing from different diasporic experiences. Born as a personal project of arts philanthropist Yan Du, it is part of her overarching vision to facilitate transcultural dialogues.

A simple question with an immensely complex answer: why do artists create, and why do we simply need art around us?

Silke Schmickl (ꜱɪʟᴋᴇ ꜱᴄʜᴍɪᴄᴋʟ), CHANEL Senior Curator and Head of Moving Image at M+, shares her answer. And we think it carries a lot of weight in a world that is endlessly shifting and losing its bearings.

Our conversation took place during the Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival (Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival at M+) at M+ (M+, Museum of Visual Culture) in Hong Kong, where we spent two days decoding the world through film, video art, and more, in conversation with Silke while exploring a festival amongst people for whom art truly matters.

The full video is now on our YouTube channel.

Meet Patricia Ayres (Patricia Ayres) at her studio. We caught up last winter, ahead of her latest commission on the High Line (The High Line), which is now on view through May 2027.

She takes from her training as a fashion designer and now creates bodily sculptures that are bandaged, stitched, stretched, and wrapped. Is it skin or is it fabric? That uncertainty is what draws you into the towering figures that feel like swollen mannequin torsos, seemingly bruised but patchworked back together.

Even the titles are coded: each sculpture’s name is actually a saint’s name translated into numbers, like a prisoner ID or a clothing tag. Catholic upbringing, fashion’s body standards, and the prison system all collapsing into one number string.

Patricia Ayres: 2-18-5-14-4-114-3-12-15-14-6-5-18-20; 7-5-18-20-18-21-4-5-8-5-9-6-20-1 and 2-15-14-1-16-9-14-1

Situated atop Illa del Rei, an island off the port of Mahón, is a cultural oasis of art, food, gardens, and architecture: this is Hauser & Wirth Menorca ().

One of many Hauser & Wirth () destinations designed by Luis Laplace (), this outpost in Spain offers a seamless blend of how we most enjoy art. Pop in for their summer show, then step out for a walk around the island, and finally sit down for a bite at Cantina (). As the sun begins to set, you’ll start to hear the scurrying of the local lizards intensify, climbing up on walls to catch the last rays of warmth. It’s the same mood we fall into—a certain drunkenness from a day well spent in island life.

On view now is the group show “Directionless,” organized by Rashid Johnson in collaboration with gallery peers Charles Gaines, Firelei Báez, and Cristina Iglesias. 28 artists in total, brought together to explore unstable identities, unfinished histories, and a future that’s hard to picture.

Mar Rescalvo, Senior Director at Hauser & Wirth Menorca, takes you into the show and around the entire location.

Meet Luis Laplace (), the architect behind many of Hauser & Wirth’s () spaces worldwide. If you ask Iwan Wirth, President and Co-Founder of the gallery, he calls Luis the “Silent Architect.” That moniker reflects Luis’s design philosophy, essentially to respect a place and its local history, materials, and ways of doing things. When it comes to designing spaces for art and artists, that also means not overwhelming them, not competing with what they show.

Gary Yeh, Founder of ArtDrunk (), sat down with Luis for lunch at Cantina (). After dining on mushroom and artichoke arroz, a wide range of fresh tapas, and a few glasses of chilled wine, we took a closer look at how Luis restored the 18th century outbuildings of a naval hospital. All of this experienced at Hauser & Wirth Menorca () on Illa del Rei.

Head to our YouTube for the full conversation. He reflects on how he balances preservation and progress, his multicultural background and creative influences, and his process of local material and craft research in his restoration of the 18th century buildings. All the while, you’ll get a peek into the vibrant culture that Menorca offers.

Bodies dissolving into lush foliage, animals hiding within the paint. Cecily Brown (aujourdhuirose) has spent years returning to the natural world as a kind of formal playground—where figures slip in and out of view.

For her first UK institutional solo show since 2005, Brown built a group of paintings around Serpentine’s () own backyard: Kensington Gardens, a park she’s visited since her student days in London. One grouping in particular takes inspiration from a jigsaw puzzle: a fallen log bridging a river. Through her characteristic process of repetition, she reworks the image across scales, palettes, and formats until the log barely resembles its origins. That evolution is the magic of Cecily Brown unfolding before your eyes.

Elsewhere in the show, her drawings and monotypes lift characters from Beatrix Potter and old Ladybird books, using animals less as illustration and more as a way to slip around the human subject entirely.

Thanks to Lizzie Carey-Thomas (), Director of Programme & Chief Curator at Serpentine for the tour!
