🚨NEWS: I’m now Editor-in-Chief at @ocula.com, which is relaunching in the UK with a new website and editorial strategy. I’ll also be building a new team there - more details to come in the next few weeks.

The sun's out, David Hockney's got a show in Paris, and everything is in bloom here in London. For @artreview.bsky.social, I wrote about the comforting allure of 'feelgood' art and the pleasant lack of being challenged by what you see artreview.com/what-does-fe...

‘Iconoclasts obliterate the icons, Just Stop Oil just gave those icons their five a day.’ artreview.com/so-long-just...

I wrote about what exhibitions designed for children get wrong, the class divide when it comes to museum visits, and why outreach programmes so often fail to reach beyond a core demographic of wealthy, white, highly-educated visitors. Out now in @artreview.bsky.social artreview.com/the-trouble-...

Come to our event on 2 March! We have a banging line-up of speakers giving readings in support of Palestinian rights and culture, in response to Israel's raid on the Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem last week. Tickets going fast so don't miss out... actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

I wrote about the Educational bookshop, and why the ugly and ridiculous attack on its owners matters. I don't know Mahmoud Muna personally but I heard him a few times and he always struck me as one of Jerusalem's most inspiring intellectuals. artreview.com/mahmoud-muna...

The real threat posed by detained booksellers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna is their willingness to engage with Jewish-Israelis amid a state narrative that demonises Palestinians artreview.com/mahmoud-muna...

On the exploited creative genius character and Hollywood's obsession with individuation as the defining feature of existence. Whatever happened to creative community? artreview.com/the-neoliber...

At @artreview.bsky.social I am looking for new writers for opinion-led columns, expansive reviews and on-the-ground reporting to tackle social and political questions (both big and small) through the world of art and culture. Here are some highlights from our publishing over the last few months.

End of the year and a few months since I've been back at @ArtReview_ from parental leave. My own year in review is marked by both the intensity of domestic labour and getting my brain back out into the world of work and art and culture. It's not always been easy but here we are.

📢 Jasleen Kaur on winning the Turner Prize: 🚨“I've been wondering why artists are required to dream up liberation in the gallery but when that dream meets life we are shut down.” 🔑“I want the institution to understand that if you want us inside you need to listen to us outside.”

On the Harper's cover story, the pitfalls of nostalgia, and what happens when you blame the art and not your own changing tastes... 🎨 artreview.com/can-you-age-...

I really enjoyed reporting this long-form piece on the resistance to “Culture Route,” a government-funded festival in Turkey, and how that is energizing Turkey’s art scene, for @artreview.bsky.social artreview.com/the-tangled-...

James has written about their experience and about the wider repression of support for Palestinian rights in Gerrmany. This paragraph, for me, gets to the heart of what is so disturbing about it. artreview.com/james-bridle...

On censorship, the ethics of arts institutions, and Palestine. Proud to publish this by @jamesbridle.bsky.social today in @artreview.bsky.social artreview.com/james-bridle...
