Tesla Cybertruck Recalled for Fifth Time This Year
Tesla’s Cybertruck has been plagued with issues since launching last year. The vehicle has just been issued its fifth recall in 2024 alone.The latest recall affects 27,000 Cybertrucks and stems from the car’s rearview camera. The camera’s image may be delayed between six and eight seconds, meaning the feed isn’t showing up on the dashboard in real time.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the maximum allowance for a delay is two seconds and the issue can cause crashes when the Cybertruck is backing up. Tesla has since released a software update to amend the issue.In June, the Cybertruck was recalled over the possibility that the windshield detaches while driving. The car was also recalled in April for a stuck accelerator pedal.Click here to view full gallery at ...

White Cube to Present Park Seo-Bo’s Final ‘Écriture’ Artworks in New York
White Cube New York will present the final series of work created by the late Korean artist Park Seo-Bo, before his passing in 2023. Entitled The Newspaper Écritures, 2022–23, Park's final studies involved painting repetitive gestures with oil directly on global newspapers, each selected to signify an important date from his life — wedding anniversaries and family birthdays to major events that he noted on the back of the canvas.Park's Écriture series stems back to the 1960s, as the artist began fusing Korean calligraphy with principles native to Taoist and Buddhist philosophy. The repetitive mark-making has no intrinsic narrative and is meant to reflect the state of mind the artist was in — Écriture translating to "writing" in French. “Like the Korean scholars and Buddhist monks who saw w...

LAM Museum Technician Accidentally Trashes Beer Can Artwork
Museum staff sometimes struggle to distinguish art from everyday objects, as seen in a recent incident at the LAM Museum in the Netherlands. An elevator technician, filling in for a regular worker, mistakenly threw away Alexandre Lavet’s All the Good Times We Spent Together (2016), thinking it was trash. The artwork, two hand-painted beer cans meant to evoke memories of friendship, had been intentionally placed inside an elevator shaft to mimic something casually left behind.LAM, known for its food-themed art and unconventional displays, places pieces in unexpected locations to encourage visitors to view ordinary objects differently. “Our goal is to make people see the mundane in a new light,” said museum director Sietske van Zanten in a statement. The technician, unaware of the museum’s a...

‘When the Veil Thins’ Probes Into Art as a Response to Trauma
Trauma is sometimes the best teacher. For Frida Kahlo, her near-death bus accident and lifelong quarrels with partner Diego Rivera consistently informed themes of physical suffering and psychological pain she'd imbue within her self-portraits, such as in The Broken Column (1944). For Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui, who recently unveiled a towering bottle cap assemblage at the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, he continues to utilize discarded materials to symbolically probe into post-colonial legacies and the traumas inflicted by past empires. There is an invisible barrier within the mind that separates pain and creativity, a metaphysical state that serves as the theme for a new group exhibition at Compound in Long Beach. Curated by artist Tofer Chin and his partner, mindfulness writer and educato...
