Despite its critical reputation of being performative, overly sincere and, at times, all too much, it’s a genre that's always lived on a knife's edge — one that thrives not in spite of its many contradictions, but because of them.At P·P·O·W Gallery's latest group show, Hope is a dangerous thing pulls back the shiny curtain of pop curtain and revels in its darker, more introspective underbelly. Inspired by the closing track of Lana Del Rey's 2019 studio album Norman F*cking Rockwell, the exhibition draws inspiration from the album as an elegiac portrait of millennial youth, late-stage capitalism and the strange calm that sometimes follows despair.Curated by Eden Deering, the show assembles a fantas...

At Bologna’s Fondazione MAST, Mohamed Bourouissa dares us to remember. In Communauté, his most expansive solo exhibition in Italy to date, the Franco-Algerian artist tugs at the seams of society through 20 years of artistic practice. The show brings together four of his most major projects, each a study in how individuals assert dignity within systems designed to overlook them.Bourouissa’s career is one largely shaped by the narratives of those living at the edges of visibility. Working across mediums, his pieces chart the undercurrents of power and identity that structure and shape everyday life. His breakout series Péripherique (2005-2008), for example, paints an honest portrait of post-riot Paris, gathering friends, family and other non-actors to stage scenes of tension and violence wit...
