Before we dive in, we'd like to share some recent updates at Thisispaper+.
① New locations: We’ve expanded our guides with fresh additions to Seoul, New York, Paris Guides + Jutaku Edition.
In their latest exhibition, Formation, hosted by Friedman Benda in New York, Formafantasma presents a quietly radical vision that intertwines furniture design, domestic narratives, and subtle historical reverberations.
In Ground, a new permanent installation at South Korea’s Museum SAN, sculptor Antony Gormley and architect Tadao Ando ask visitors to descend—both physically and emotionally—into a space where presence is everything and time appears to stretch.
Opacity as a Healing Space at Limbo Contemporary in Milan presents itself as an encounter of two distinctive yet complementary practices, those of Szilvia Bolla and Lorenzo Conforti, merging into a meditative dialogue on ambiguity, vulnerability, and psychological resilience.
In snowbound Kanazawa, Japan, White Cave House designed by Takuro Yamamoto redefines the courtyard as a continuous void—part path, part program—that turns minimalist architecture into climate choreography.
Huma Bhabha’s "Distant Star" at David Zwirner in Paris bridges sculpture and drawing, confronting viewers with potent forms and haunting imagery that meditate on humanity, decay, and historical echoes.
In her latest collection, Objects of Service, Haritini Gritzali reimagines domestic objects as carriers of intention—pieces that transcend utility to participate in the quiet choreography of daily life.
Wolfgang Tillmans transforms the Centre Pompidou's library in Paris into a sweeping, poetic study of photography, knowledge, and utopia on the eve of the museum's five-year closure.
Herzog & de Meuron inaugurate their architectural presence in Seoul with SongEun Art Space, skillfully balancing monumental minimalism and local cultural sensitivity in a striking triangular form.
