The Shed Spotlights the Culture and Struggle of the Yanomami People
For over 50 years, artist and activist Claudia Andujar has documented daily life of the Yanomami people native to Brazil's Amazon rainforest. Instead of presenting an anthropological lens, which is often the approach for journalistic coverage on indigenous peoples native to the region, Andujar developed a lifelong connection that has allowed her to document an intimate portrait on the culture and struggles of Yanomami life. On view at The Shed in New York, Andujar presents the latest stop in her exhibition, The Yanomami Struggle. Featured alongside 200 of her own photographs are works by Yanomami artists, such as André Taniki, Ehuana Yaira, Joseca Mokahesi, Orlando Nakɨ uxima, Poraco Hɨko, Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, and Vital Warasi. Also on view are a selection of video works by contemporary Y...

Leo Villareal Illuminates Pace Gallery’s Geneva Location
Leo Villareal's hypnotic light installations are usually reserved for massive public spaces. Think of the River Thames or the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Using a combination of binary code, the American artist is well-known for creating rhythmic LED compositions that meditate on the relationship between architecture and nature.For his latest project, however, Villareal illuminates Pace Gallery's Geneva location through a new solo exhibition dubbed Nebulae. On view are a series of eight wall-based sculptures, each continuously diffusing colors "that evoke the complex, vibrant, and ever flowing molecular or cosmic systems that organically occur in nature," according to the artist in a statement.

Anish Kapoor’s ‘Bean’ Touches Down in New York City
Anish Kapoor's first permanent public artwork in New York City has finally been completed. The untitled, curvaceous sculpture, which was commissioned for the bustling corner of Church and Leonard Streets in Tribeca back in 2008, largely resembles Kapoor's Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago, more commonly known as The Bean.The British artist's latest work, which measures 19 feet tall, is estimated to have cost between $8 million USD and $10 million USD to construct. Where Chicago's Bean takes over its own plaza in Millenium Park, New York's version resides in a less spacious spot: under the entrance to the 56 Leonard, nicknamed the "Jenga Tower" for its modular appearance. The location is fitting for Kapoor, who purchased a four-bedroom apartment in the building for $13.5 million USD in 2016.T...
