Centering empathy and goodness, it reflects a geopolitical situation where leaders "struggle" to be good.

#PeterBeard “The Scheme of Things” closes this Saturday, May 9! @ceysson_benetiere@peterbeardart
“The elephant, in the course of time, has adopted man into his scheme of things, with deep distrust.”�
-Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), “Shadows On The Grass”
“’Peter Beard: The Scheme of Things’ presents a rigorous selection of key works executed between 1960 and 1977, a period defining the artist’s transition from the authoritative, singular image to the dense, tactile assemblages of his later work. Whereas previous exhibitions have tended to focus on the ecosystems and social hierarchies in front of Beard’s lens, this show serves as a roadmap charting the surfaces’ transition into ecosystems in and of themselves.
The exhibition is anchored by a rarely exhibited, monumental masterwork from 1977, The Elephant in the Course of Time, annotated with the quote from which this exhibition gets its title.” #CeyssonBenetiere
The mini gallerista gives #TahneeLonsdale “Walk With Us Into the Forest” five stars 🫢⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and bonus points for a v friendly gallerist 🥹 @alexberggruen@alexanderberggruen
In this exhibition, Lonsdale “envisions a spiritual ecosystem of abstracted feminine beings who are interconnected, sentient, and watchful of their fragile human acolytes. Her clustered figures recall sacred geometry while evoking forms that range from cells and atoms to trees, planets, and constellations.” On view through May 13! #AlexanderBerggruen
Scandinavia's Market Art Fair celebrated its 20th and largest edition to date last week. Apparently sales were 🔥.
Our Stockholm correspondent Malin Ebbing chatted with artists, gallerists, collectors, and guests to find out what they loved and perhaps in honor of her medium - polaroids! - and talked their fondest art fair memories.

Lesley Bodzy's new series 'Hand of Venus' draws from Old Master works of Venus ushering visitors to move away from the patriarchal gaze to, in Katya Grokhovsky's words, "a glimmering, almost elusive presence of the female gaze: inviting, subtle, powerfully charged."
Read the full review— commentary of one feminist artist by another—on cultbytes.com.
And, see the show at @dmincubatorgallery through May 23.

"Stay is about being still, but also about the fact that it takes effort to be or remain in one place—an active passivity," explains Swedish artist Julia Bondesson from her studio.
Bondesson sculpts and performs as she interprets the body. Malin Ebbing speaks to her ahead of her upcoming solo show @gallerybelenius opening on May 8.

This one is a must-sea! 🫢⚓️🛶
“In his landmark first U.S. solo exhibition, Brazilian painter Arjan Martins (b. 1960, Rio de Janeiro) presents new figure paintings and portraits on canvas. One of the most vital voices in contemporary Brazilian art, Martins has spent more than three decades developing a singular pictorial language that employs images from collective memory to conjure a reality that transcends linear time.
[…]
Martins’ work navigates the ‘Black Atlantic,” a term associated with theorist Paul Gilroy, invoking symbols of maritime expansion to reflect on the historical triangular trade system and chart the ongoing influences of the Black diaspora. His distinctive, hybrid environments merge the urban, the domestic, and the oceanic to form spaces of dynamic cultural exchange.” Closing tomorrow, May 2! #ArjanMartins #OlneyGleason

“‘Leonor Fini: Menagerie’ at @olneygleason brings together a selection of work spanning the genres of portraiture, literary and erotic drawings, and original set and costume designs.
[…]
Fini approached the figure through sustained observation, moving between commissioned portraiture, literary illustration, and her own mythological and erotic compositions. Several of the paintings on view date to the 1930s and 1940s, a period in which Fini’s handling of oil paint drew from the Old Masters she had studied in her youth in Trieste.” Closing this Sat, May 2! #LeonorFini #OlneyGleason
