Jumana Emil Abboud and Anawana Haloba speaking to Studio International at the opening of Artes Mundi 11, National Museum Cardiff, 2025.

Artes Mundi 11 Prize and Exhibition

Against a background of divisive global politics and hysteria around migration, the six artists shortlisted for the 2025 Artes Mundi prize focus on the losses endured by displaced peoples, and the disempowerment arising from imposed colonial narratives. We review this latest edition and talk with Jumana Emil Abboud, Anawana Haloba and Sancintya Mohini Simpson

Jumana Emil Abboud – interview

‘We can be anything we want to be through the stories we can make and unmake’.

Anawana Haloba – interview

‘With everything that’s going on in the world, we talk about things, but we really don’t listen’.

Rhiannon Hiles, chief executive, Beamish Museum – interview

Winner of the world’s largest museum prize, the £120,000 Art Fund Museum of the Year, Beamish, an open-air social history museum in north-east England, was described as ‘a joyous, immersive and unique place’. Rhiannon Hiles tells us all about it.

Anna Ancher: Painting Light

Whether depicting women at work, children playing on the beach or locals at prayer Anna Ancher’s light-filled paintings are a joyful celebration of life on Denmark’s Skaw peninsula.

Wright of Derby: From the Shadows

The National Gallery reunifies Joseph Wright of Derby’s trio of candlelit masterpieces, while revealing some of the painter’s lesser-known marvels.

Wayne Thiebaud: American Still Life

A luscious selection of sweets, cakes and pies seduce us at this, the American painter’s first UK museum show. But was he celebrating the American dream and its values or critiquing it?.

A Story of South Asian Art: Mrinalini Mukherjee and Her Circle

This visually thrilling exhibition is a revelation. Pivoting around Mrinalini Mukherjee, it also celebrates key figures of the Indian cultural scene, including seminal work by her parents and other important south Asian artists.

Holly Stevenson – interview

Following in the female surrealist tradition, Holly Stevenson makes cathectic objects from clay, which distort and intrigue.

Vision and Illusion: Architectural Photographs by Hélène Binet

A research project by the University of Oxford into Jewish country houses, tracing their history and highlighting their cultural heritage, provides the framework for a series of exhibitions. Here, Binet photographed buildings in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic.

Lucy Raven: Rounds

The American artist’s eloquent new film tracks a remarkable undoing, as the dammed Klamath River is allowed to flow again and a submerged landscape emerges from the deep.

Grace Ndiritu: Compassionate Rebels in Action. Sit-in #5

This show is about taking inspiration from alternative practices and sharing and defining what knowledge is. But though its motives are good, a set of films, some books, photographic archive and a few beanbags leave me wondering where the art is.

Candice Lin: g/hosti

Candice Lin’s cardboard labyrinth is at once playful and sinister, conveying the relentless drip-feed of disaster we receive through our pixelated screens as well as more hopeful, mythological tropes.

Suzanne Treister – interview

The pioneering interdisciplinary artist takes us on a tour around Prophetic Dreaming, her teeming, mind-bending retrospective at Modern Art Oxford.

Gilbert & George: 21st Century Pictures

The provocative pair turn the Hayward Gallery into a carnival of misrule.

Shadowscapes: Heaney, JMW Turner and Quantum

Spilling over floors, walls and balconies, as well as in framed works on walls, artist Libby Heaney’s intervention at Orleans House conjures up the formlessness of quantum physics within the formal constraints of a historical building.

Joy Gregory: Catching Flies with Honey

This survey show, spanning four decades, brings together more than 250 works from this innovative Black British artist.

Georg Baselitz: A Life in Print

The provocative German painter shows his dizzying mastery of print in this capacious, overdue survey.

Andrew Kinghorn interview

Sculptor Andrew Kinghorn talks about architecture, colonialism, how his extensive travels through Asia and living in Australia changed his work – and how the love of his life became his muse.

Made in LA 2025 Biennial

The first edition of this now historic event opened the world to the City of Angels in 2012, tailing Europe’s well-established biennials with a burst of fresh energy that profiled greater Los Angeles as a thriving art hub, empowered its recognised artists and introduced emerging ones.

Sophie Barber: Mackerel sky, mackerel sky, never long wet, never long dry

A new exhibition of Barber’s work, the first in her hometown of Hastings, has her distinctive paintings, immersive and direct, on glued-together canvases or folded up into small squares, heavy and tactile and with a playful wink to art history.

The Costume House: The Inside Story of Cosprop from A Room with a View to Game of Thrones – book review

Film historian Keith Lodwick’s beautifully illustrated and educational book charts the success of costume house Cosprop and the influence of John Bright, the man behind it, on thousands of films and TV adaptations over more than half a century.

Sandra Mujinga: Skin to Skin

The Norwegian artist creates an eerie, gallery-spanning installation with green light for the Stedelijk.

Isabel Rock: Things Fall Apart, The Centre Cannot Hold

Mutant crocodiles, slugs, rats and pigs populate a post-apocalyptic world, but despite the humour, Rock is deadly serious in her attempt to draw attention to the climate crisis and the state of our prison service.
