@artforum โs Theo Belci naming Miles Scharffโs work from โthe theatreโ one of the best of 2025 inspired us to think about LUmkAโs year in review.
In 2025, we traced the homeโs radical potential in โCult of Domesticity,โ opened โthe theatre,โ popped up in Shanghai for โAs It Turns Quiet, We Rot,โ and landed in Londonโdebuting as WYNโs Best International Prize winner for Minor Attractions.
Big plans for 2026.
Until then: thank you.
Special thanks to the artists, @girlfromether , and to our friends, collaborators, connectors, critics, and collectors.
