The steamy return of bathhouses is making waves, suggesting that everything old is new again, and perhaps a little sweaty too!

For the Shakers, Dancing is both a means of revelation and a way to do the work of God in the world, Kimerer LaMothe, a dancer and philosopher of religion, said in an interview. To dance is to build heaven on earth.

"We find beauty out of struggle and out of something broken," says the artist, emphasizing the importance of representing life in Brooklyn through the exhibit.

"Most people don't stop to observe the crews' work or the infrastructure they uncover," Tentler-Krylov said. "But these unseen things keep the city going."

Censorship strips innocence from the young and kindness from the elderly. It discourages people from valuing justice, fostering selfishness instead.

Kyoung Chun's creative practice moves between painting and site-specific installation. Interactive works extend the language of painting beyond the canvas, inviting viewers into environments that challenge perception and encourage connection.

"We are uniquely global and local, historic and contemporary, collection driven and exhibition driven," Westermann said. "I really needed someone who understands that complexity."

Kamrooz Aram is everywhere this year, from Mumbai Art Week to the Whitney Biennial, and critic Aruna D'Souza is grateful. She pens a beautiful meditation on his work, reading his abstract paintings as not simply a denunciation of Western modernism nor a reassertion of Islamic visual motifs, but something else entirely - something gestural, exuberant, riotous, and incomparably his own.

The new New Museum is many things: contemporary, perhaps, but also a science, history, anthropology, and many other museums in one.

Sprouting from the roof of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, artist Rose B. Simpson's newly installed bronze sculpture "Behold" has its gaze fixed on the cityscape before it. The Tewa of Khaʼpʼoe Ówîngeh artist, herself a mother, crafted a tender portrait of an interconnected parent and child that "asks us to be human with each other, to change our narrative through wonder, witness and a foundation in the soft warmth of our humanity," she said in a statement.

I work outside, carving and shaping the stone. Outside my house, I have a table, an extension cord, and tools. It's very cold and I have to wear all my winter clothes. When it's too cold, I do the filing and finishing work inside after I shape it outside. I listen to all kinds of music. I listen to Eminem all the time; his albums are all my favorites. For drawings, I work at Kinngait Studios or at home on my kitchen table.
