Find us at ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ (@friezeofficial), ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ต ๐๐ญ๐ฎ, for ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐จ๐จ ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ, a curator-led presentation developed by ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฑ (@habda_), Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Fitzwilliam Museum (@fitzmuseum_uk), University of Cambridge.
Bringing together ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ (@bharti_kher_studio_), ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ (@jitishkallat), ๐ฆ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ต ๐๐๐ฝ๐๐ฎ (@subodhguptastudio), ๐ง๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐น (@tanyagoel01) ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ต (@kuldeepsingh19), alongside Frieze London debuts by ๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ (@aizaahmedstudio), ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ต (@ayeshaxsingh) ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ต๐ฝ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ ๐ก. (@pushpamalan), the presentation explores how artists engage with the past to make sense of a changing present. Through distinct approaches to material, image and form, the works revisit mythology, ritual, architecture and cultural memory, revealing how inherited histories and visual traditions are continually questioned, reinterpreted and given new meaning.
Rather than treating tradition as a fixed point of origin, The Restless Present considers it an active force in contemporary artistic practice, one through which histories are re-examined and new perspectives emerge across generations and geographies.

The Restless Present - is a display I have curated following my research award from @indiaartfair & @saatsaatharts.foundation I have extended my research beyond @fitzmuseum_uk with @naturemorte_india in collaboration for their stand @friezeofficial London 2026 @_vidishaaa & Sanchari Banergee ๐๐พโจ๐ฉท
it has been a space to build new relationship, test ideas and strengthen inter-cultural connections. The artists reflect a breadth of contemporary South Asian art today, bringing together artists rooted in India, Pakistan, and their diasporas, as well as emerging and established.
The presentation brings together โจ Aiza Ahmed โจ Tanya Goel โจ Subodh Gupta โจ Jitish Kallat โจ Bharti Kher โจ Pushpamala N. โจ Ayesha Singh โจ Kuldeep Singh
Across these practices, themes of nature, ritual, architecture, technology, craft and historical memory become sites through which artists engage with contemporary social, political and environmental realities. Drawing on vernacular forms, culturally diverse visual traditions and extended systems of knowledge, art itself becomes an active field where its histories are examined, activated and reshaped.
Deeply grateful to the Nature Morte team for giving me the room to stretch my thinking and engage so closely with these extraordinary practices. Thank you ๐คฉ

Really did disappear for slow and warm days in Italy.๐๐
Antiquity across Campania, from the frescoed Roman Oplontis to the sun-bleached symmetry of Athenaโs temple at the Greek ruins in Paestum.
The light of Artemisia Gentileschi, the quietness of Vincenzo Migliaroโs Portrait of a Woman and the radicalness with tenderness of Maria Laiโs brilliant survey @museomadre including, archival footage of her 1981 important Legarsi alla Montagna, where an entire Sardinian village bound their homes to the mountain peak with a single light blue ribbon. First staged on September 8, 1981, in her mountainous hometown of Ulassai, it is widely recognised as the first true piece of relational art in Italy
The stark, geometric devotion of Alberto Izzoโs 1969 Cappella Cangiani, itโs raw, exposed concrete include a monumental pulpit. The theatrical, open-air stairwells of Palazzo dello Spagnolo and Palazzo Sanfelice, Neapolitan mix.
Cascate Capelli di Venere - this very magical oasis sits tucked away in the mountain hinterland of the Gulf of Policastro. The waterfall gets its name because the crystal-clear waters of the Bussentino river flow directly over a massive canvas of vibrant green moss and delicate maidenhair
And, sunny clear (and very clean) beaches of quiet towns in Cilento..โ๏ธโ๏ธโจ๐ฉต

We have a significant new role at @fitzmuseum_uk, designed for someone who wants to work directly on curating exhibitions with living artists and their work, De Yingโs collections of contemporary art, alongside the Museumโs broad, significant collections of artworks and objects โ as well as collections and ideas that stretch across the University of Cambridge.
The role has a strong research dimension, with opportunities for the postholder to contribute fresh ideas and develop impactful outputs while engaging with discourses and research groups across the University and beyond.
Weโre looking for someone with institutional and curatorial experience who wants to develop and platform their thinking around contemporary practice, history of art and the role of a museum today.
Ultimately, itโs a chance to work with incredible art and artists. ๐ฉต

The very brilliant and fun Mary Heilmann
Mary and I having a T-shirt off during the install of her show in 2016 @whitechapelgallery and with Keith Sonnier who we were also sowing at the same time. They both had the best stories of New York..
Rest in peace beautiful Mary ๐ค๐ค๐ค

The very visible architectural and cultural layering of beautiful (๐ป and very hot ) Andalusia is a blend of Roman, Islamic and Catholic civilisations. Itโs most notable in Mosque-Cathedral Cรณrdoba ( first two images) where the layers overlap to create the most extraordinary and unique structure as well as atmosphere. The aesthetic is a mix of Roman, Visigothic, Moorish and Catholicism designs.
Images also includes interiors and frescoes from Seville Cathedral & Church of El Salvador- including painting by Goya.
Other paintings by julio Ramos de Torre and photograph by Tanya Traboulsi - @casa_arabe @tanya_traboulsi Beirut photographer showing in Cรณrdoba ..โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ซ ๐ซ

I donโt think words can describe this Venice Biennale - walking into the Giardini to Pussy Riot protests, strikes causing pavilions to close and torrential rains as well as sharp sun - truly reflecting our times. A few pictures from lots and lots of art which I feel is beginning to make different connections in our complex world - resonating with different sounds and new visual assimilations, which seem to make some uncomfortable and others excited. It was messy and uneven but so much to learn ๐

Spending a few days in and around Fรจs- Founded in the 9th century, itโs urban fabric and the principal monuments in the medina โ madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains- date from this period. There are 1000s of passageways that eventually pull you in - you can spend hours in there ๐ป. The tannery is amazing, with pigeon coops lining the rooftops - the ammonia is used from their poo ( and it smells). Fez has gained the status as Moroccoโs cultural and spiritual centre.
The Sidi Harazem Thermal Bath Station ( including the spectacular circular pool) was designed in the 1960โs by the architect Jean-Francois Zevaco. The Station is an example of Modernist post-colonial architecture, the first example of public post-independence architecture designed for locals. Using participatory design methods which prioritise community voices. It is crumbling but a restoration project has been set up.
as Fez is further away from the desert its countryside is lush with greenery akin to the alps ๐

A distilled exhibition of Frank Bowlingโs paintings in โSeeking The Sublimeโ opens today @fitzmuseum_uk . It spans works from 1961 to 2025 and is curated so that connections and developments can be charted across his incredible paintings.โจโจโจโจ
Second image is Frank intensely looking at โ4 Horsemen o the Apocalypseโ 1961, for the first time since the 60s and post its restoration. Images include Ben Bowling @bowling2511 and Martin Gayford @gayfordmartin - my partners in crime โบ๏ธ as well as the brilliant wider Fitz team. Also included is an image of Bowlingโs painting Patorospray with one Aubrey Williamโs Olmec Maya series both painted in the 80s, on display in our collections gallery ๐
