An Honesty Thing: Peter Hujar, “Eyes Open in the Dark” at Raven Row, London
Like a vow, a shine, a chance, or a breath, a photograph is something taken. This taking suggests a transgression that effects some form of transformation, that destines an infidelity. Yet in Peter Hujar’s vitalized portraits—coarsened and creamed, dusted and darkened—there is far less taking than giving. This giving arose from Hujar’s patience, noticing the
Silly, surreal and seriously smart: Nastia Cistakova is making space for femme absurdism in illustration

“Piazzetta Rizzoli 1” at Museo Arte Contemporanea Cavalese

Zoé Blue M. “Hard Boiled” @ Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, NYC
For her first solo show at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles-based artist (and Juxtapoz favorite and past featured artist) Zoé Blue M. transports viewers into the world of a takkyu onsen—her name for a table tennis bathhouse.

Molly Bounds Sends Out a “Transmission”
In her third solo exhibition at pt. 2 Gallery, Los Angeles-based artist Molly Bounds invites viewers into a hazy terrain of memory, evidence, and misrecognition. Transmissions unfolds like a murky investigation where personal history becomes fragmented and intuition sends mixed signals. Bounds uses the idea of receiving signals—radio frequencies, premonitions, visions, and signs—as a framework for navigating the thin line between fact and fiction, reality and projection. Is it safe to be open to “receiving”?
Kate Gottgens “Darkening Dusk” @ MARUANI MERCIER, Knokke, Belgium
MARUANI MERCIER is proud to present Darkening Dusk, the inaugural solo exhibition of South African artist Kate Gottgens, at their Knokke gallery. Recognized for her haunting, dreamlike compositions, Gottgens crafts works that exist in a state of liminality—never fixed, always in flux, and at times elusive. Just as the fading light of dusk blurs the boundaries of day and night, her paintings evoke a sense of transition, where familiarity dissolves into something more fluid, open-ended, and mysterious.
What the heck is a personal brand in 2025?
We’ve spent the past decade trying to ‘build a personal brand’—but in 2025, do any of us really know what that means anymore? If you’re tired, confused, and wondering whether sporadic posting and a…
Alexandre Khondji “Dressage” at Sweetwater, Berlin
At about a twenty-meter distance, and an inclination of five to ten degrees, life inside an indoor riding arena seems just about perfect from head to toe. No distortion but the confirmation that what you see is how you feel. A reality check if you will. Haunches-in, haunches-out, half-pass or appuyer, a final pirouette. See?
