Alexandra Gajewski, Deputy Editor of The Burlington Magazine, presents a series of online talks hosted by Martin Randal Travel. Starting with the shocking fire that broke out at Notre-Dame in Paris on the night of 15th April 2019, the five talks will investigate the damage caused, the resulting research project and the restoration. Taking a part-thematic, part-chronological approach, the talks will focus on the discoveries and findings that have been made in the process. The series will examine these in the context of the religious, social and political history of this exceptional building, going back to its early Christian origins, with a focus on its art and architecture, patrons and artisans.

Duets will showcase a suite of ten new large-scale paintings that focus on the interconnection of two figures. Existing at a threshold, the artist’s subjects are simultaneously tender and passive, as Repko weaves an ambiguity into her canvases through an abstraction of space.

For their first solo exhibition in Portugal, Canadian artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller will install over a dozen works in the historic Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova in Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exploring the sculptural qualities of sound while establishing the Monastery as an important venue for contemporary art.

Unseen is the first solo exhibition of South Korean artist Jungjin Lee in the United Kingdom. The exhibition presents ten large-scale photographs from Lee’s latest body of work, made in Iceland in 2024. For Lee, photography is a conduit for emotional and philosophical enquiry.

Celebrating Marisol’s satirical and deceptively political sculptures and self-portraits of the 1960s, the exhibition also assembles, for the first time, lesser-known areas of her practice. By examining and contextualising Marisol’s work from the 1950s to the early 2000s, this internationally touring retrospective demonstrates the extraordinary relevance of her unique vision of culture and society.
