Photographer Jens G. Rosenkrantz Jr. opens Crossing the Border next Friday, September 4, in the main gallery of the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas in Miami. This is only the second time this body of photographs, taken along an extensive stretch of the southern border of the United States, has been shown publicly. Its first presentation took place in Cuba, at Fábrica de Arte Cubano, in 2019...

For this series, Rubio & del Amo, a Murcia-based studio specializing in visual identity, editorial design and packaging, joins forces with Cruz más Cruz, the Madrid firm founded by José María Cruz Novillo and later consolidated with the arrival of his son Pepe. Two fairly complementary sensibilities feeding into a common project.

New Scientist International Edition, Vol. 271, No. 3610, August 29, 2026, publishes three photographs that, during the selection process for Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2026, made a favorable impression on the jury. This does not mean they are already the winners, and I have no idea why they are being publicized now.

In July, 2026 Annex Gallery presented a selection of Jim Marshall’s photographs documenting episodes and leading figures of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States during the 1960s. Preparing the exhibition and, above all, the research that accompanied it proved enormously enriching for me.

Three days after turning twenty-nine, on Wednesday, January 21, 1998, I carried out my first subversive act against Cuba’s communist system. I went to wait for Pope John Paul II. I went with tremendous enthusiasm. Probably with Gilma, my wife at the time. We positioned ourselves on the right-hand sidewalk of Paseo, between 7th and 5th Streets, in Havana’s Vedado district. We waited for about an hour and a half.

In the mid-1990s, I had many printed copies of the Financial Times in my hands. Probably sometime between 1995 and 1997. I was fascinated by its design, the wan salmon of its pages and Ingram Pinn’s illustrations: its visual identity, basically. As for reading it, very little, I confess. It was an almost purely retinal experience, and little else. But it became clear to me that its texts were written for professionals —people who make decisions on the basis of verified information—

The smell of fresh ink on a print just lifted from the press has a remarkable ability to turn devotees into addicts. So do the uneasy intervals built into the process, which forge a very particular bond with the craft. This lies at the origin of nearly every printmaking and screen-printing workshop. Another trait they tend to share is an unusual capacity for endurance...

Since Wednesday, August 12, Annex Gallery has been presenting Tiger Lily: Collective Impressions. Tiger Lily Press is a cooperative printmaking workshop founded in Cincinnati in 1979, conceived as an open space for practice, teaching, and the preservation of artistic printing techniques. Over several decades, it has brought together printmakers from different generations, providing access to presses, tools, workshops, and shared technical knowledge, while establishing itself as one of the...

Given its scale and significance, I will present my analysis of this project in several installments. These are the ten design proposals shortlisted for the next series of euro banknotes. At this moment, they are under the gaze of millions. Citizens of the euro area have been invited to choose their favorites in a survey that will remain open until September 21...

The Serendipity x Arles Grant has a history of barely six years. It was established in 2020 by the Serendipity Arts Foundation and Les Rencontres d’Arles, with the support of the Institut français en Inde, to foster South Asian artists working with photography, video, artificial intelligence, and other image-based media...

Designing the banknotes destined to circulate throughout a monetary area such as Europe is among the most prestigious and consequential commissions a professional or design studio can receive. Creating an image to be shared by millions of people, condensing an identity into visual form, and meeting complex demands of legibility, security, symbolism, and instant recognition constitute a task at which even a demigod like Hercules might have failed...

Jim Marshall, a renowned photographer celebrated for his iconic rock-and-roll images, captured unforgettable moments in music history. You may recognize his work, such as the famous photograph of Johnny Cash giving the finger at San Quentin Prison, Jimi Hendrix lighting his guitar on fire, or exclusive shots from the Beatles’ last performance...

Yesterday, a video circulated widely across social media showing the arrest of a young transgender person on February 5, 2025, at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The footage shows a "highly agitated" Jarrett Vick, a 27-year-old transgender student, confronting several officers who were on campus for unrelated reasons...

Science magazines — the serious ones, and even the popular-science ones — very often bring us stunningly beautiful photographs of what actually is. Natural splendor, the marvels of the world. They aren't art photographs; they don't denounce problems, or systems, or the routine aberrations of the human world. They are for the curious, for those with a child's soul. And yet the photographers who take them can be considered full-fledged artists. All the more so in these days of ours, when anything at all lays claim to artistic status.

Maximilian of Habsburg, the emperor whom the French Intervention installed on the throne, built the Paseo de la Emperatriz —modeled on the Parisian boulevards— to link Chapultepec Castle with the city center. Mexico's conservative quarters looked kindly upon it. When the empire fell, the republican governments renamed it Paseo de la Reforma. This Reforma is the Mexican liberal one, the laws driven by Benito Juárez that separated Church from State and consolidated the Republic.
