Mary Heilmann obituary
By Charles DarwentVisitors to Mary Heilmann’s show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 2016 were offered the novel experience of looking at art while scooting about on wheeled wooden chairs. These, too, turned out to be artworks. One, Sunny Chair for the Whitechapel, had been made by Heilmann for the occasion. Rough-hewn from plywood, backed in nylon webbing and painted bright yellow, it seemed happily untidy; as an object, but also as a type. This was true of all the works in Looking at Pictures, and was intentional.

‘Jim Crow must go’: the artists and everyday heroes who fought injustice – in pictures
By Curated by Briana Ellis-GibbsTurn the Volume Up! at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University highlights the activism of everyday people who have confronted injustice.

Featuring work by artists such as Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems and the Guerrilla Girls, the show examines how protests and collective action can create and inspire social change. Turn the Volume Up! opens on 27 August and runs through 11 July 2027
