Art Movements, published every Thursday afternoon, is a roundup of must-know news, appointments, awards, and other happenings in today’s chaotic art world. We read the press releases so you don’t have to.
Awards
- Artist Marina Abramović received the 2025 Praemium Imperiale for Sculpture at a ceremony in Tokyo on Tuesday improbably attended by Hilary Clinton. Painter Peter Doig and architect Eduardo Souto de Moura are also among the recipients of this year’s award, presented by the Japan Art Association.
- Artist and educator Rosana Paulino is the recipient of this year’s 2025–2027 Jane Lombard Prize for Art and Social Justice, awarded by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics in New York City. The Afro-Brazilian artist will receive $25,000 in recognition of her 2016 artist book ¿História Natural?, which plumbs the intertwined histories of science and racial violence.
- The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture will honor artist Tracey Emin, Ford Foundation President Darren Walker, and the New York art space Socrates Sculpture Park at its 55th annual awards dinner at the Museum of Modern Art next month.

Transitions
- Canal Projects, an experimental arts nonprofit in Manhattan just four years young, announced this week that it will shutter its physical space and transition into a “granting and funding body.” Read more on Hyperallergic.
- London-based painter Gideon Rubin is now represented by Anat Ebgi gallery in New York and Los Angeles.
- Anthony Kiendl will be the next director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, beginning December 1. Kiendl comes from the Vancouver Art Gallery and succeeds Nora Burnett Abrams, who now heads the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston.
- Faena Art, the arts nonprofit arm of the over-the-top Miami Beach and Buenos Aires hotel, has commissioned artist Es Devlin to plunk a 50-foot-wide rotating library filled with 2,500 books on the beach during this year’s Miami Art Week.
Wildcard
Refik Anadol’s “Infinity Room” (2015) (© Refik Anadol Studio for Dataland)
- Refik Anadol, best known for the strangely meditative, shapeshifting artworks he churns out using artificial intelligence, just announced the opening of “the world’s first Museum of AI Arts” next spring. Appropriately named Dataland — hey, at least they’re not trying to hide anything — the institution will be part of The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed complex in downtown Los Angeles. It’s billed as a space where “human imagination meets machine creativity” and will feature Anadol’s all-encompassing “Infinity Room” (2015) and an immersive space filled with “AI-generated scents.” Cool!!!! Just kidding, we’re all doomed.
