Italy’s first major graffiti exhibition has arrived at the Museion Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Bolzano. Curated by Leonie Radine and Ned Vena, Graffiti brings together a constellation of 60 pioneering voices working within and beyond the medium, including Futura 2000, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Rammellzee, Lee Quiñones and Shaun Crawford.Spanning 1,500 square meters across two floors, the exhibition explores how the raw, expressive energy of street art made its way into the studio.  Beginning with pre-graffiti spray paintings of the 1950s, Graffiti traces through notable graffiti names of the 1980s and lands with contemporary artists who incorporate elements of the medium into their practices.“Graffiti was how I found my way into being an artist, but it is also how I see thin...

Some artists look to break boundaries; Dozie Kanu prefers to dismantle them and see what's left standing. Working at the intersection of fine art, design and social critique, Kanu’s practice culls from personal histories and the weight of the everyday world only to emerge as something entirely new – part relic, part provocation and part poetic sleight of hand.For his latest solo exhibition at Federico Vavassori in Milan, not opposed to tossing bricks into the quotidian, your honour, Kanu gives a new life industrial remnants and found materials – car rims, chain links, shattered ceramics – reconsidering the idea of worth, function and utility. Through these interventions, the artist expands on his sculptural alchemy, a critical aspect of his ongoing dialogue with mass media, pop culture and...

In Ed Atkins’ world, bodies are restless, weightless and deeply confused. They float, moan, glitch, laugh and sometimes fall apart entirely, moving through the world as if constantly reminded of their own existence. Hyper-present yet simultaneously estranged, Atkins' bodies – like our own, at times – are vessels for feeling that don't quite know what to do with themselves.Tate Britain has just opened the doors to the UK’s largest survey of Atkins' work. A knack for the intimate and absurd has led him to become one of the biggest names in British digital art, and rightly so. Known for his computer-generated animations, the uncanny is his strength, reworking contemporary technologies only for something startlingly human to emerge: love, longing and grief, finished in pixel perfection.The epo...

FUTURA 2000’s latest solo exhibition, The Mechanical Age, is set to open at V1 Gallery's Copenhagen space with a bold pairing: Sister and Brother, two large-scale works in red, white, and black created with aerosol on primed canvas. Painted in 2025, the works introduce the show’s focus on motion, repetition and interconnection.The artist continues this exploration with Husband and Wife. These atom-like compositions also use aerosol on canvas, imbuing a pulse and rhythm that feels both unified and untethered. Together, the pieces evoke a sense of community and cyclical exchange, where relationships mirror the push and pull of a shared world.Throughout the exhibition, FUTURA invites viewers into a layered, cosmic environment. Forms shift in and out of focus, hovering between the permanent an...

Kennedy Yanko’s sculptures are relics of control and surrender. Working mostly with found metal and paint skins, she coaxes the two into an uneasy alliance until they drape and fold like fabric. The artist is just days away from opening a New York doubleheader at Salon 94 and James Cohan Gallery, who are teaming up to present two solo exhibitions, staged at each respective gallery, marking a pivotal moment in Yanko’s artistic dialogue of material and meaning.Starting in Tribeca, Epithets takes shape at James Cohan, mining the psychological terrain of color and form. Working with obsidian blacks, reflective chromes and aged metals, the works, seemingly unearthed from the subconscious, serve as as raw testimonies to the untamed elements. “For the first time in a long time, the work is guttur...
