The dream is the confusion machine I didn't have to build, a space where perception slips beyond authorship. Within Communal Dreams, influence operates as a subtle signal rather than a directive force.

Oshatz worked on a monumental scale to represent underwater scenes, creating a full stage silk backdrop. He also designed hand painted silk waves that dancers moved across the stage.

Cut & Paste Pictures is developing a feature-length documentary chronicling the lifelong friendship between Rise Against guitarist Zach Blair and wrestler Hassan 'MVP' Assad, who will also front an unscripted series about life after prison.

I wanted to be a great artist, not in the slang use of 'great,' but fantastic—reaching the soul of other people. This ambition drove Pat Steir throughout her life.

Around the Sign o' the Times album he called to say he was joining Prince's band, and said: I'm gonna take you with me. He showed Prince some of my artwork, which he apparently liked. I was asked to paint a stage for him that was the first job I did, and one day he asked: Have you ever taken photos? I was in the right place at the right time.

His first albums under his own name, 1995's Earth & Nightfall and 1996's cult classic Ten Days of Blue, were blissful-sounding ambient techno records that took the melodic sensibilities of the local scene to their cosmic extremes. Every beep and blip was in harmony with a lush string line, the rhythms less like breakbeats or programmed drums than trance-inducing hammered dulcimers.

Sand Art is a game by Kory Jordan and published by 25th Century Games for two to four players ages 10 and up. It takes about an hour to play, and has you collecting resources and then coloring in a bottle, making art in a bottle out of sand, in case the name didn't give away the plot. Gameplay Overview: Sand Art has you gathering and mixing sand, which is used to fill your bottle.

In many ways working in the tradition of Kazimir Malevich and Josef Albers, his compositions employ a language of squares and rectangles known as "Cells" and "Prisons," connected by bold lines called "Conduits." Together, these geometric and linear arrangements tap into the inherent geometry that structure reality, and conceptually refer to the construction of everyday life, both public and private as well as physical and psychological.

His humor, his clarity, and his vision shaped many discussions across the agency and within the wider photographic world. This exhibition pays homage to the unique vision of Martin Parr, whose sharp eye for contemporary society and prominent role within Magnum Photos have left an enduring mark on photography.

We are profoundly grateful to the Chan family for their extraordinary generosity and their commitment to making Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places accessible to all. Few bodies of work have so decisively changed the course of photography.

With most of us, 90 minutes of reminiscing wouldn't make for scintillating theater. Gert Boyle, as played by Wendy Westerwelle, is the exception to that rule. The late Gert came to fame when she took the reins of Columbia Sportswear after her husband's death in 1970 and also became the "One Tough Mother," with gray hair and glasses, of its comedic '80s and '90s ad campaigns. In one, she put her son, Tim, through a carwash to test the durability of a coat.

Tara Donovan presents Stratagems at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF), at the Transamerica Pyramid Center, installing a group of vertically oriented sculptures made entirely from thousands of recycled CDs. On view until July 31st, 2026, the exhibition is installed within the transparent Annex space. Stratagems enters into a deliberate exchange with the Transamerica Pyramid itself. The sculptures echo the skyscraper's verticality and reflective skin, while their recycled material introduces a counterpoint to the monumentality of the building.

Regina Silveira has spent the better part of three decades considering the relationship between media and meaning, particularly as it relates to Latin America. First presented in 1997, "To Be Continued..." features 100 black-and-white reproductions of photos, newspaper clippings, propaganda, advertisements, and more. Silveira nests each image into an oversized puzzle piece, which cuts off faces and scenes to leave fragments of pop culture icons, flora and fauna, and even the occasional mugshot spliced next to one another.
