MAŁGORZATA MIRGA-TAS
Pasio pani Białka / On the river Białka, 2025Recently exhibited as part of 'Tełe Ćerhenia Jekh Jag' (Under the starry heavens a fire burns) at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Małgorzata Mirga-Tas's 'Pasio pani Białka' (On the river Białka) 2025 presents an idyllic landscape, intimately familiar to the artist for its proximity to her home in Southern Poland.
Created from collaged textiles, the patchwork of curtains, jewellery, shirts, and sheets stitch together scenes of the Białka river and of Roma settlements in Poland’s Tatra mountains. Reclaiming the Roma narrative, Mirga-Tas's works redefine the community’s relationship to landscape and engage in building an affirmative iconography of Roma communities.
Mirga-Tas’s work is included in the Artist First Commission at the National Portrait Gallery, London until 3 August. Her solo show at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh continues until 30 May another continues at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen until 16 August. The artist's sculptures will be included in Manifesta, 16, Ruhr, Germany 21 June–4 October.

DAYANITA SINGH
Blue Measures, 2025This work emerges from Dayanita Singh’s long-term interest in the paper archive. She discovered these bundles of fabric-wrapped documents in an archive in India. The bundles themselves are of indeterminate age; their contents are unknown. At some stage these papers were wrapped in cotton fabric, placed on shelves and then forgotten. Every bundle is tied by a different hand with a different knot to seal it. The knots, in combination with the forms and faded colours, gives them very tangible personalities, turning each image into a singular portrait.
Dayanita Singh’s solo exhibition ARCHIVIO is currently on show at Archivio di Stato di Venezia, Venice until 31 July.

DOROTHY CROSS
Blue Dive, 2021Blue Dive depicts a pair of feet diving into and being subsumed by the stone itself. The stone is Brazilian sodalite, a rare rock-forming mineral, which caught the artist’s eye at Studio Carlo Nicoli, Carrara where she often works. Cross was attracted to both its colour and its patterns, an opulent royal blue with creamy white veins.
The highly polished feet, cast from the artist’s own, emerge from the roughly hued block. Presented as a fragment, these feet also recall the broken statuary of past civilisations we are so familiar with from museums and the ancient sites. Blue Dive evokes a sculpture lost in time, a kind of future ruin.
This work was included in Cross’s recent solo show Kinship / Srodstvo, at Art Pavilion in Zagreb, Archaeological Museum. Cross’s work is on show in the Sydney Biennale until 14 June. She is also included in The Story Tellers at Worcester College, Oxford, until 5 July. -

CORNELIA PARKER
JOHN LENNON SHOT, 2025 & AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY, 2025This seemingly abstract oil-on-canvas work is from a new series inspired by historic newspaper and magazine covers and the colour analysis charts of American artist Emily Noyes Vanderpoel (1842-1939). Vanderpoel’s pioneering 1902 volume ‘Color Problems: A Practical Manual for the Lay Student of Color’ presented colour analysis in a way that appealed across disciplines and anticipated major developments in modern art by nearly half a century.
A website dedicated to Vanderpoel’s methodology includes a generating algorithm that allows one to take any image and break it down into an analytical colour grid. Using well-known newspaper headlines, magazine covers and iconic photographs as her source, Parker used this to create her own colour charts. The headlines themselves are from over a century of tragic, awe-inspiring and shocking events, from the sinking of the Titanic to Martin Luther King’s famous speech, through the death of Princess Diana to the trial of Donald Trump.
Parker’s installation Stolen Thunder (A Storm Gathering) is now on show at KINDL, Berlin until 24 May. A major retrospective of her work opens at City Art Gallery, Wellington, New Zealand 10 October, running until 7 March 2027.
