Today's art news spans millennia, from a 3,200-year-old ceramic 'brand' to the 25th edition of Kiaf SEOUL. The through-line is how objects, ancient pots or contemporary fair booths, carry meaning and desirability across time and space.
Two stories this morning ask what makes an object desirable, whether it's a Bronze Age pot or a booth at a modern art fair.
Kiaf SEOUL returns for its 25th edition with 175 galleries from 18 countries. The anniversary year is a good moment to check whether Seoul's fair has settled into its identity or is still chasing the international art circuit.
A study of Qurayyah Painted Ware suggests these 3,200-year-old ceramics were a sought-after product that traveled far from their Saudi Arabian source. It's a tidy reminder that branding isn't a modern invention.
Several artists and filmmakers are re-emerging or being honored this week, from Joe Swanberg's first feature in nearly a decade to Linda McCartney's USPS stamp.
Joe Swanberg talks about his nearly decade-long absence from features and his new film 'The Sun Never Sets.' The interview is worth reading for his reflections on how independent filmmaking has changed since his mumblecore heyday.
Linda McCartney's nature and still life photography will appear on a USPS stamp set, unveiled at MoMA in September. It's a rare institutional nod to a photographer who was often overshadowed by her famous last name.
Nosheen Iqbal combines wood panels, beads, and thread into geometric reliefs that draw on Islamic ornament and her Pakistani heritage. The work sits at the intersection of craft and contemporary art, a space that galleries still struggle to label.
