Hey Prazzlers,

What’s art without disruption? Last week, everyone couldn’t stop but reflect on Anish Kapoor’ artwork on a Shell gas platform, but this is more than spectacle it’s protest, hijacking industry’s own stage to indict climate destruction, I guess artists are more powerful than we like to give credit for. Meanwhile, Ibiza is bridging gallery and nightlife, critics are rewriting art history, and institutions are forced to reckon with their futures. Art isn’t just something we look at anymore, it’s a tool of resistance, reinvention, and sometimes survival. And speaking of breaking ground, we’re opening Artists of Our Time during Berlin Art Week. RSVP is now live, and pre-orders for the book are open. See you there.

You know the drill! Headlines, insights, and IRL gems waiting below 👇
