Have a Great Summer!
Read our coverage of the most talked-about biennials and exhibitions in 2022, from Venice to Kassel, Dakar to Frankfurt. We will resume publication in mid-August.
Unruly Modernity
Centre Pompidou’s exhibition on the Weimar Republic reveals more than meets the eye.
Free the Synapses!
The Berlin Biennale overlooks the fact that art doesn’t need to be didactic.
Make Friends, Not Art
Documenta 15 is all about networking.
Dark Statements
Barbara Kruger goes low in a surprisingly melancholy show at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
A Biennial for the Future
In Dakar, art arises from a sense of absolute necessity. That makes Dak’Art a biennial that holds together an entire continent.
For the Many
In a society characterised by growing inequality, Norway’s new National Museum seeks to respond to demands for greater accessibility and wider representation.

No one interested in Duchamp – no, no one interested in art – no, no one with a heart – should miss Marcel Duchamp at the MMK in Frankfurt.
We Are the Ones Who Make History

Beauty and War
The 59th Venice Biennale was not a great year for the pavilions – until Ukraine stole the show.
Living It Up
ARS22 has been publicly accused of spreading a load of hot air, but turns out to be a convincing show about our longing for meaning, community, and spirituality.
