“The story of American football is masculine violence, mitigated. The sport is often compared to gladiatorial contests, a sanitized and regulated spectacle of combat. This belligerence is underscored by the explosive graphics and sounds effects of an NFL broadcast, and by the aggressive avatars of the teams. In particular, the two teams in ‘Secondary,’ the Raiders and the Patriots, symbolize the two unified aspects of this all-American sport, its spectacular violence and its power as part of a national identity.”

Leo Cocar explores Lyric Shen’s delicate sculptures and immersive installations, where porcelain surfaces and fragmented images dissolve between form and memory. Shen’s work challenges recognition and meaning through intimate, tactile encounters, blinding family archives with abstraction. Her art becomes a poetic space where body, surface and place converse –inviting viewers into a subtle dialogue of loss and transformation.

Daiga Grantina speaks with Amy Jones about the shifting forms, materials, and poetics of her sculptural practice. From fog and spirals to the resonance of gray, the conversation moves through ideas of transformation, intuition, and the quiet intensity of process — where sculpture becomes a site for sensing, stretching, and dissolving the boundaries of form.

Rachel Crowther speaks with Ben Broome on surveillance, scent, and the aesthetics of care. From baby monitors to hairband scanners, her work materializes the immaterial – exploring how behavior is subtly shaped by invisible forces. Scent and sound become tools of influence, drawing attention to the subtle, often coercive, design of public and private spaces.

“Hosnedlová tends to use Soviet architecture as a shorthand for a cold, impersonal, masculine environment, and to counter it with softness, femininity and, not infrequently, a refusal of clear logic or sense.”

In the Summer installment of Studio Scene, Gabriela Acha explores the multilayered practice of Sofia Defino Leiby, whose work spans painting, collage, and digital still life. Rooted in personal experience and pop-cultural detritus, Leiby’s art blends irony with intimacy. Acha traces her evolving methods — from gouache over gift wrap to Blender-modeled bottles — revealing how Leiby exposes the surreal language of consumption and selfhood through a distinctly contemporary lens.

“What are the stakes of insisting upon political hope, in all its felt potential for redeeming past injustices, when progressivism is under attack globally? This is the question taken up by ‘The Gatherers’ at MoMA PS1, organized by Ruba Katrib and Sheldon Gooch, a sprawling yet precise group exhibition of fourteen international artists thinking through unmet promises of liberalism.”

Kyla McDonald examines Alexandra Metcalf’s unsettling work, where haunted interiors and ghostly figures evoke the psychic toll of care, madness, and containment. Through hyper-feminine palettes and meticulously crafter objects, Metcalf conjures theatrical, emotionally raw spaces that echo historical and contemporary pressures on women, revealing the lingering violence of patriarchal control

Twisted, visceral, and unruly, the grotesque can be a shared language — a mode of expression that connects artists across differences in form, medium, and tone. Selections from the Flash Art archives chart this unruly terrain, where each work operates as a catalytic presence: a provocation that informs and distorts. Among them, Cecily Brown blurs the lines between flesh and abstraction, desire and decay; Kiki Smith offers unflinching depictions of skin and organs, merging the mythic with the medical; while Pipilotti Rist dismantles the female image through a glitchy, playful lens, creating space for intimacy, humor, and erotic disorder.

“I walk into the sacred with blood on my fingertips and shadow stitched into my skin. I am not writing, I’m mapping a wound. This isn’t a study. This is me clawing through the bark of language, trying to name the unspeakable things that live beneath. I am a manufactured woman; therefore, I am a grotesque body. The grotesque, as an aesthetic and conceptual category, has long occupied a space at the margins of beauty and horror, distortion and revelation.”

“Although framed around the “body” in contemporary artistic trajectories, the exhibition “Corps et âmes,” presented at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection in Paris, primarily relies on works created in the aftermath of the American Civil Rights Movement, as well as more recent works aligned with similar political stances.”
