Photo London 2026 arrives at Olympia with a new sense of scale — and one of the strongest editions yet. @photolondonfair From Jo Ann Callis’ uncanny domestic scenes and Zofia Rydet’s powerful portraits of Eastern European life to Baud Postma’s AI-generated western landscapes and Edward Burtynsky’s painterly environmental photographs, this year’s fair explores photography’s shifting relationship to memory, technology, politics and time. Paul Carey-Kent picks out the standout works, artists and themes from across the fair, including feminism, colonial histories, AI image-making and experimental photographic processes. @paulcareykent Read the full review now on FAD Magazine. #PhotoLondon #PhotoLondon2026 #Photography #ContemporaryPhotography #ArtFair

Five art fairs. Two days. One city overflowing with contemporary art. From Frieze and NADA to Independent, 1-54 and Esther III, this year’s New York Art Fair Week revealed a growing return to craft, texture and materiality. Textiles, sculpture and hand-built forms dominated the fairs, while many artists pushed back against digital flatness and AI aesthetics through deeply physical works rooted in identity, history and storytelling. @friezeofficial @154artfair @newartdealers @independent_hq @esther.newyork Highlights included Kelly Tapia-Chuning’s deconstructed serapes at NADA, Alex Burke’s sculptural textile figures at 1-54, Eleanor Conover’s earth-laden canvases at Independent, and the immersive curation of Esther III.

A new artist-first art fair is launching in London this October. Fair Play Art Fair will debut at One Marylebone from 15–18 October 2026 with a radically different model: selected artists receive free exhibition stands, with the fair operating instead on a commission-based structure designed to support artists rather than charge upfront fees. Founded by Ryan Stanier, creator of The Other Art Fair, the new event will launch during Frieze London week and combine contemporary art with immersive installations, sound, performance and dining experiences. Applications are now open. @fairplayartfair #FairPlayArtFair #LondonArt #ContemporaryArt #FriezeLondon #ArtFair

Zineb Sedira’s When Words Fall Silent, Cinema Speaks… at Tate Britain 🎬 Part installation, part archive, part cinematic reconstruction — Sedira transforms the Duveen Galleries into an immersive exploration of African activist cinema, political memory and collective resistance. From a recreated 1960s Parisian café to analogue film equipment, mobile cinemas and a newly commissioned multi-part film, the exhibition brings the history of Third Cinema vividly into the present. A standout detail is the display of Sedira’s three years of research at the entrance, giving visitors a fascinating insight into how the project was built.

Sarah Lucas has unveiled VENUS VICTORIA, a monumental new public sculpture commissioned for the New Museum’s new outdoor plaza in New York. Perched atop a giant washing machine at the corner of Bowery and Prince Street, the work expands Lucas’s iconic Bunny series into a mischievous public monument — subverting the tradition of heroic statues with humour, domesticity and bodily distortion. The sculpture is the first commission for the New Museum’s OMA-designed expansion plaza and will remain on view for the next two years. Selected by an all-artist jury including Cindy Sherman, Julie Mehretu, Joan Jonas, Kiki Smith and Teresita Fernández, Lucas becomes the first of five women artists to be commissioned over the next decade.

In art, poetry and myth, gardens are Paradise - places of earthly delights, midsummer dreams and suffering. The Garden of Banca March in Madrid is a private garden as public space, hosting the first exhibition of Thomas Houseago in Spain. @thomas_houseago_studio_ @bancamarch Houseagos’s work is born of traumatic memory - a portion of innocence stolen, replaced with instinctual optimism as radical medicine. David Hockney is his gay dad - an expression Houseago himself uses - but for this exhibit at least - Angela Carter is mother - with her gardens as subversions of patriarchal limits. Gardens can be manicured or they can run wild. Here Houseago’s outstanding work and its excellent curation by Anne Pontegnie - blends both dreams and nightmares - intimacy with escape. @ap_office Words & Video @martin.sexton Read a full review on FAD Magazine #thomashouseago #madrid #gardensculpture #fadmagazine #jardinbancamarch
