The British-born artist Anthony McCall is very much in the spotlight this month at London's Tate Modern. Doors have opened on his first major exhibit at the gallery in which McCall projects beams of intense light through spaces filled with fine mist to create interactive sculptures that can be manipulated by visitors. His career began as a filmmaker but was inspired by beams of light from cinema projectors. McCall has lived in New York since the 1970s and it was there he began exploring sculpting light. Meet the artist creating life-size sculptures of endangered animals from cardboard The mist...

The former interim director of London's British Museum, Sir Mark Jones, believes foreign visitors to the UK’s museums and galleries should pay a £20 entrance fee. If adopted, the move would end the UK’s long-standing tradition of allowing everyone free access to its public galleries, regardless of their nationality. UK galleries, however, do set an entrance fee for all visitors to specialist exhibitions or blockbuster shows. As it stands, the UK is an outlier when it comes to charging. In France, Greece, across Europe and the United States, visitors face paying a charge to enter their major cu...

As well as showcasing spectacular and startling contemporary art, the Venice Biennale is an opportunity to gain access to some of its rarely opened buildings. This year, the Vatican’s pavilion can claim the accolade of most unusual location. If you’ve already visited the canal city, it's still highly unlikely you’ve entered this building - the Holy See’s exhibition is housed in Venice’s women’s prison. In a sense, the Vatican’s pavilion is a piece of months-long performance art in which the visitor is a participant. The experience is about far more than the art on the walls - it’s about the in...

The stars performing at Glastonbury festival aren't the only ones surrounded by fans - two are providing a light breeze as this introduction is typed. Indeed, as heatwaves begin to takeover Europe, we'd recommend keeping cool by visiting air conditioned exhibitions and cinemas (from Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness to A Quiet Place: Day One to Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga \- blockbuster season is booming.) If you'd prefer to be outside, there's a Pride parade taking place in London today (29 June) while the UEFA Euros group stages continue (always a good excuse to have some dri...

The Royal Academy of Arts’ legendary summer exhibition is underway in London. From big name artists, like Tracey Emin, to new and emerging talent, more than 1,700 works are on display across 13 gallery spaces. The Royal Academy selects renowned artists like Emin as Royal Academicians, granting them membership in the historic institution. Currently, there are fewer than 100 Academicians, so each year, about two-thirds of the exhibited works are by non-members.

It's officially summer! Whether you're enjoying the Euros, Pride partying, prepping for festivals or eating lots of ice cream, the brighter evenings and (hopefully) warmer days ahead feel full of possibilities. New art is everywhere and the cinema box office is, in the slightly misquoted words of fictional dog-avenger John Wick, "thinking it's back" following the success of Pixar's Inside Out 2. Like your cool friend that always knows what's up, here are our cultural recommendations for the week. Exhibitions'Naomi: In Fashion' at the V&A Museum (London, UK) Naomi Campbell is one of the world's...

Starting with an icebreaker: Did you know that 'Super Freaky Girl' by Nicki Minaj is apparently the most popular song on peoples' sex playlists? And in other, no-less serious news, Taylor Swift announced the end of her Eras Tour (something you can experience secondhand here) while Brits also went crazy for a tiny ceramic goat made by King Charles III 55-years-ago. What we're trying to say is, it's been a weird time. And our emotions are all over the place (we blame Inside Out 2), so it's probably best we just dive into this week's recommendations.

Every three years, in the small Belgian city of Ypres, locals dress up in Papier-mâché cat heads and other forms of feline-inspired attire to celebrate the 'Kattenstoet' ('Festival of the Cats'). A tradition since 1955, it's linked - rather bleakly - to legends about cats once being thrown from a bell tower, the reasoning for which is still subject to speculation... But one thing's for sure: people have always loved an opportunity to dress up and get a little weird. The desire to connect with past traditions, while also subverting them, is what makes folklore so compelling. Its rebellious idea...

Disgraced American “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli is facing yet another lawsuit, this time for allegedly retaining and sharing recordings from the rarest album on earth \- the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan LP that he was forced to sell following his 2017 conviction on securities fraud charges. The lawsuit was brought by a cryptocurrency collective, PleasrDAO, which purchased the only known copy of the album from Shkreli for $4.75 million. The album, 'Once Upon a Time is Shaolin', has not been released to the public, functioning as a rare contemporary art piece since it was auctioned off by the famed...
