Today's art world is digging into unlikely materials: fungi making music, salvaged Saxony parts making clocks, and a mother's footage making a film. There's a thread of finding the extraordinary in the overlooked, from Beatrix Potter's mushrooms to an Apple-1 computer.
Two projects turn unexpected materials into art, challenging where we look for creativity.
The show's soundscape, made from fungi's electrical signals, and a kinetic sculpture honoring Beatrix Potter's mycology work, position mushrooms as collaborators, not just subjects.
Roy's Glashütte Trash Clock uses local salvaged materials to question what watchmaking means in Saxony's precision heartland. It's a cheeky counterpoint to the region's polished reputation.
Documentary and review coverage circles around how artists' personal histories shape their work.
Eleanor Coppola's documentary, cut from 80 hours of Versailles footage, offers a posthumous mother-daughter dialogue on Sofia's process. It's a rare look at the director's early career, now screening at NYFF.
Ustaoğlu's film argues some relationships deepen in separation, a quiet subversion of the usual breakup narrative. The review highlights its lyrical pacing and cinematography.
From Indian embroidery to Afrobeat's roots, tradition gets reworked for new contexts.
Modesti's decade with Kalhath shows how a traditional craft can gain new life through contemporary design, without losing its roots. It's a case study in cultural sustainability.
The final part of the Tony Allen series traces Afrobeat's rhythmic engine back to Guy Warren, Art Blakey, and E.T. Mensah, grounding Allen's innovation in a broader lineage.
