Sean Scully is one the most acclaimed artists of his generation. Mostly known for abstract paintings in which he constantly renews a visual lexicon based on colour blocks and stripes, he is also an accomplished storyteller who brilliantly comments on art history as well as his own practice. This publication compiles conversations held over the phone with critic and poet Kelly Grovier.

Parallel to his exhibition at Kewenig Gallery, Jose Dávila presents ‘Primitive Irruption’ in the Moll Vell district of Palma, in collaboration with Autoridad Portuaria. The sculpture – consisting of steel beams stacked with a boulder – is shaped by a seemingly delicate equilibrium that embodies gravity, resistance and the latent energy at play in space and time.

Sant Francesc Hotel Singular (Plaça Sant Francesc, 5) will be screening Bernardi Roig's 'Joie de vivre' everyday at 8 pm between 16 – 19 September as part of Nit de l'Art.

On the street, after listening to several conversations held by residents of the working-class neighbourhoods of Palma, Marcelo Viquez extracted, from nine conversations, the statements that have resonated the most to him and translated them into a website.

The title of the exhibition is a term coined by John Cage to describe the equivalent of silence in the visual arts. Emptiness and silence as an experience of seeing and feeling are explored by the 75 international artists in the exhibition through the wide range of meaning of the colour white.

The local and the global, uniqueness and diversity come together in Bienalsur which aims to establish a global network of collaboration by linking five continents and their artists, venues and audiences.

Liliane Tomasko’s art is rooted in the themes of sleep and the unconscious. Titled after the ancient Greek god of dreams, this exhibition focuses on states of transformation between waking and sleeping that Tomasko captures in her works on canvas, aluminium and paper.

The exhibition traces the changes in representations and the comprehension of nature throughout more than 500 years of art history.

'From the Real' unites the works of two abstract painters – husband and wife – Liliane Tomasko and Sean Scully, for the first time in the UK.

This exhibition gathers 34 artists active today that deal with forms of traditional African art in their works.

This major retrospective gathers works from the 1970s up until now, presenting masterpieces on loan from Russian museums and unveiling Pivovarov's most recent production.

Christian Boltanski’s exhibition ‘Animitas’ has recently opened at the Noguchi Museum in Queens, New York.

In this group exhibition Zazil Barba, Cabrita, José Dávila and Maria Taniguchi re-signify objects and, in doing so, open up the possibility of a symbolic language, of a process of initiation that briefly suspends mundane reality, giving way to doubt, surprise, and even joy.

Penck in the UK since 1984, this exhibition focuses on the recurrent motif of the stick man figure through a selection of works created between the 1970s and 1990.
