Review
Post-reformation Endgame
Ane Hjort Guttu and Sveinung R. Unneland’s exhibition at Hordaland Kunstsenter is both a model for art education and a sombre warning about its failings.

Santiago Mostyn’s exhibition at Andréhn-Schiptjenko in Stockholm is a hypnotic spatial montage which reveals the contours of an emergent Black subjectivity.
Sugar Tears
In highly ornamented pieces that seduce the eye, Ebony G. Patterson touches deep colonial wounds and stresses the need to discuss them – without ending up in a muddle.
