My latest piece for @ArtBasel took me 6 metres underground, to the legendary nightclub designed by David Lynch. It is just as jarring an experience as one of his films, with spooky floor lighting, weird sculptures and endless mirrors. Have a peek inside ā¤µļø artbasel.com/stories/silenciā¦

I reviewed the Pinault Collectionās monographic show at Punta della Dogana for @Apollo_magazine and loved it: his economy of gesture or his grotesque sculptures and fairytale creatures. SchĆ¼tte can do it all, it seems. If youāre in Venice, go!

Paris Noir is huge (and in some ways, too ambitious) - but the show's strength is introducing the public to artists they may never have seen before. What a treat to discover Harold Cousins, Iba N'Diaye, Luce Turnier. My review in @Apollo_magazine.

Uzbekistan's main draw is, of course, the history of the Silk Road. But the Uzbek government's hunger for visitors risks damaging the heritage that is bringing travellers there in the first place. Read my latest for @BBC_Travel. bbc.com/travel/article/20250ā¦

Obviously I had to post this week's episode of ARTE Europe Weekly on X...
It's all about how X is rapidly becoming a den of conspiracy theories and far right content and how @elonmusk is meddling in EU affairs.
So what can Europe do to stop him?

Wrote about a new show of 'pop art nun' Corita Kent for @Apollo_magazine. For all of its preamble about her political activism, the show was almost empty of the revolution promised in the show's title.

Looking at Trumpās face in the audience, this feels like a villain origin story. He would spend the rest of his life seeking revenge for that night
