The Headlines<\/strong><\/p>\n VENEZUELA FALLOUT.\u00a0<\/strong>The painter\u00a0Onai Qui\u00f1onez<\/strong>\u00a0is one of thousands still missing since Venezuela\u2019s devastating double earthquake on Wednesday, June 24,\u00a0reports\u00a0Hyperallergic<\/em>. His family has issued a call for help in rescuing the artist, whom they believe remains trapped under rubble from his collapsed residential building in the coastal town of Caraballeda in La Guaira. \u201cWe need to give visibility to Onai\u2019s situation,\u201d his sister-in-law, Mariela Roa, said via WhatsApp message. \u201cHe is alive, he is fighting, he\u2019s been under the rubble for 41 hours,\u201d she added, noting at the time that official rescue services had not yet made it to the site. Qui\u00f1onez\u2019s wife, the artist\u00a0Laura Silva<\/strong>, had gone outside the apartment to walk their dog when the first earthquake struck, and reportedly saw their home collapse while her husband was inside.<\/p>\n ART BEHIND THE WALL<\/strong>. Artist\u00a0Gabriele St\u00f6tzer<\/strong>\u00a0is having a major solo exhibition at the\u00a0Gropius Bau<\/strong>\u00a0museum in Berlin, marking the largest show ever dedicated to an East German woman in a German state museum,\u00a0according to\u00a0the\u00a0Guardian<\/em>. Titled \u201cDabei Sein und nicht schweigen\u201d (Show up and don\u2019t be quiet), the show features 150 of St\u00f6tzer\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>artworks. On view until December 6, it covers her life and career as a dissident. She began making art while incarcerated for her political views in the Hoheneck German prison in the 1970s. \u201cLiving in a land already cordoned off from the rest of the world by the Berlin Wall, I found myself behind yet another set of walls,\u201d she said. \u201cArt was bound up in my dream of another life,\u201d she added. As the exhibition shows, she worked underground while she was under constant Stasi surveillance, and despite the risks, she cofounded a women\u2019s artist collective. \u201cWe made use of everything we experienced\u2014our dreams, traumas, the exaltation, the humiliation,\u201d she said of the group.<\/p>\n The Digest<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tToday, workers will begin dismantling\u00a0La<\/em>\u00a0Caverne du Pont-Neuf<\/em>, a public artwork by\u00a0JR<\/strong>, that was installed on a Paris bridge\u00a0<\/strong>in homage to\u00a0Christo<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jeanne-Claude<\/strong>, which fell victim to a damaging storm and heat wave that sent its interior temperature soaring.

For\u00a0New York Magazine<\/em>, writer Adrian Madlener takes us into the \u201ctotal-work-of-art environment\u201d that is the\u00a0Watermill Center<\/strong>, an artist residency assembled by the late theater director\u00a0Robert Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0in Southampton, and the site of the US debut of the art and design fair\u00a0NOMAD<\/strong>, held June 25 to 28. In this universe of experimental dance, theater, and art of all kinds, the writer, who first visited the residency at the age of 10, could sense even as a child, \u201cthat every aspect of what went on reflected Wilson\u2019s philosophy that life and art are one and the same \u2026 [he] was uninterested in the high-low hierarchies that traditionally divided the arts.\u201d To NOMAD founder\u00a0Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte<\/strong>, the magical location was a perfect fit for his smaller, alternative fair that has traveled to glitzier locations like Monaco, Saint Moritz, Capri, and Abu Dhabi. Bringing NOMAD to Watermill \u201ccentered on a shared belief that art, design, architecture, performance, and daily life should never be considered separate worlds,\u201d Bellavance-Lecompte concurred. In the end, the fair also became an homage to Wilson, who passed last July.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/venezuela-artist-earthquake-jr-dismantled-morning-links-1234790592\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2283364368.jpg?w=1024″] The Headlines VENEZUELA FALLOUT.\u00a0The painter\u00a0Onai Qui\u00f1onez\u00a0is one of thousands still missing since Venezuela\u2019s devastating double earthquake on Wednesday, June 24,\u00a0reports\u00a0Hyperallergic.
