Take a break from the scrolling and experience the magic of Shen Wei's @shenweiarts Connect/Transfer~ 💫 We had a brilliant time last month visiting the opening of Shen Wei: STILL / MOVING at the @KatonahMuseum of Art, where we treated to a breathtaking performance of Connect/Transfer from @ShenWeiDanceArts, uniting the seamless movement of paint with the dynamic motion of dance. #ShenWei #Dance #Performance #LivePerformance #Art #Exhibition #NYCArt #NYCArtists #ExhibitionOpening #Painting

Guess what I saw? This live art performance at @artcentralhk is by artist Sunayama Norico. Visitors are invited to take part in the performance by crawling under the dress. This experience provides a quiet reflective moment for visitors and requires trust between the participants and the performer. Art Central HK is open 28-31st March 2024. @discoverhongkong #discoverhongkong #hellohongkong

🎨 When Art Turns into Performance Simon Bull (@simonbullart) is a contemporary artist who transforms the very process of painting into a spectacle. He treats the canvas as a space of action: paint moves, collides, and unfolds in real time. This is not quiet studio painting — it is energy captured in form. His works are metamodernism in practice. A sincere impulse meets intentional structure, and the artistic gesture becomes a contemporary statement about time and emotion. Which piece resonated with you the most? 🎨 Sanat Performansa Dönüştüğünde Simon Bull (@simonbullart), resim yapma sürecini adeta bir gösteriye dönüştüren çağdaş bir sanatçıdır. Tuvali bir eylem alanı olarak ele alır: boya hareket eder, çarpışır ve anın içinde açığa çıkar. Bu, sakin bir atölye resmi değil — form içinde yakalanmış bir enerjidir. Onun işleri, pratiğe dönüşmüş bir metamodernizmdir. Samimi bir içgüdü bilinçli bir yapıyla buluşur ve sanatsal jest, zamana ve duyguya dair çağdaş bir ifadeye dönüşür. En çok hangi çalışma sizi etkiledi? 🎨 Когда арт превращается в перформанс Simon Bull (@simonbullart) — современный художник, который превращает сам процесс создания картины в зрелище. Он работает с холстом как с пространством действия: краска движется, сталкивается, раскрывается прямо в моменте. Это не спокойная студийная живопись — это энергия, запечатлённая в форме. Его работы — это метамодерн. Искренний импульс соединяется с продуманной формой, а художественный жест становится современным высказыванием о времени и эмоции. Какая работа понравилась вам больше всего?

Sanat bir niyet mi, bir yetenek mi, yoksa bir sahne mi? Bu tür eleştirel videolar, izleyiciye şunu düşündürtmek ister: Eğer bir eylem sanat olarak sunulursa ve insanlar ona “sanat” etiketi yapıştırırsa, o gerçekten sanat olur mu? Yoksa sanat, içsel bir derinlik, form ve duygusal yoğunlukla mı ölçülmelidir? Modern sanat savunucuları, sanatın sorular sormak, rahatsızlık yaratmak, yeni düşünce alanları açmak için var olduğunu öne sürerken; eleştirmenler ise sıklıkla içi boşaltılmış kavramların, mecra fetişizminin ve “mış gibi yapmanın” hüküm sürdüğünü savunur. Bu noktada izleyiciye yöneltilecek en anlamlı soru belki de şudur: Bugün bir sanat eserine baktığımızda neye tepki veriyoruz: İçeriğine mi, bağlamına mı, yoksa alkışlayan kalabalığa mı? Is art defined by intent, skill, or the stage it’s placed on? These kinds of critical videos provoke the viewer to wonder: if an action is framed and labeled as art, and people treat it as such, does that make it truly art? Or should art be measured by internal depth, form, and emotional intensity? Proponents of modern art argue that its purpose is to ask questions, disturb comfort, and open new realms of thought. Critics, however, often claim it is dominated by hollow concepts, medium fetishism, and the pretense of meaning. In this context, perhaps the most meaningful question we can ask the viewer is: When we look at a work of art today, what are we really reacting to—the content, the context, or the crowd clapping around it? #modernart #performance #skill #stage #context #art #crowd #observer #meaning #concept #whatsupart #upart @exclusive_art_editions

“I could do that” … wrapping up some of my best of 2024.

Meet artist Matt McCreary who has a particular knack of bringing random public spaces to life with movement. His art is injecting magic into any unassuming space with his body through a choreographed blend of parkour and dance. @matt_mccreary1 #artist #contemporaryart #performanceart #abstractart #dance

Year of the Absurd: he doesn’t just move, he transforms space. Drawing from parkour, contemporary dance, and physical theatre, his practice challenges the fixed nature of architecture, activating it as a responsive, living environment. Walls are no longer boundaries, but points of transition. Each work unfolds as an inquiry into balance, perception, and embodied freedom, reframing how we experience both space and self. In Matthew McCreary’s language of movement, the body does not adapt to space; it reconfigures it. Movement becomes a way of thinking.
