EDITOR’S LETTER

Welcome to The Wick

— Katy Wickremesinghe

Dear All,

Ciao! Milan Design Week is a fantasia of innovation and poetic recalibrations from ice furniture to Loewe’s T pots. Theatre director and visual artist Robert Wilson, film director and screenwriter Paolo Sorrentino, artist and stage designer Es Devlin are some of the visionaries involved in this vast design platform. Yet nerves are rattled by tariffs into the US. American imports of Italian wood and furnishing sector products in 2023 were 2.13 billion euros second only to France and just ahead of Germany.

On April 15 we celebrate World Art Day: the UNESCO initiative aims to promote art as a means of bringing humanity together. The theme DNA- Do No Algorithm hits a chord. Make a beeline for your best loved galleries and art walks. Meanwhile, Art Dubai kicks off on April 16 with a special Biennale devoted to civic art.

A happy weekend from The Wick Family. With Easter around the corner, time to plan the hunts.

All my best,
Katy

Things are looking bright. A nod to Mexican arch

Things are looking bright.

A nod to Mexican architecture as we look at the iconic work of architect Luis Barragán. Barragán’s architectural designs evoke emotion through his eye-popping use of colour and geometry, transforming spaces into powerful visual experiences.

In this renowned work, ‘Casa Gilardi, located in the heart of Mexico City, Barragán masterfully blends modernism with Mexican tradition, creating a space that speaks through an interplay of light, colour, and form. Casa Gilardi is a signature example of the architect’s ability to merge art and architecture.

With Biennale Architettura 2025 just around the corner, opening 10 May, we are reminded of the power of architecture in the spaces and places in our world.

This week’s #Spotlight is artist, educator, and researcher Dr Debbie Yeboah.

Debbie Yeboah’s dynamic body of work includes paintings and mixed media works where she interrogates the body, emotion, memory, and the unspoken traumas of history.

Yeboah’s first solo exhibition, ‘Renaturation: Fractures Identities, Future Selves’, at the Women’s Art Collection at Murray Edwards College at the University of Cambridge made history as the first student to exhibition in the Collection and a record number of attendees at the opening.

Her work is informed by her research practice in the Faculty of Education of the University of Cambridge, where she explores how contemporary African art can open new ways of thinking, offering a vital pathway towards decolonising education.

Her champion is Karen Livingstone, a museum professional, creative leader, and a champion of art by women. She is a Fellow of Murray Edwards College, which holds the largest collection of art by women in Europe while being the Deputy Director at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge.

Happy Earth Day from The Wick.

Earth Day is an important reminder of the ways in which art can bear witness, spark change, and deepen our care for the natural world.

For Earth Day, we are turning towards artists who have shaped and paved the way for new ways of seeing and appreciating our planet…

🌍 Christo and Jeanne-Claude, ‘The Floating Piers’ - A transformation of Italy’s Lake Iseo with 3 kilometres of shimmering golden walkways that connected the shoreline to surrounding islands, inviting visitors to walk on water @christojeanneclaude

🌍 Richard Mosse, ‘Protection’- Debuted at the 2013 Venice Biennale in the Irish Pavilion, Mosse juxtaposes the brutal realities of the war with the surreal beauty of the Congolese landscape, immersing viewers in a dreamlike six-screen installation where violence and wonder collided @richardmosse_

🌍 Yoko Ono, ‘I LOVE YOU EARTH’- A global whisper written large: “I LOVE YOU EARTH.” This minimalist public work is both a tribute and a protest, as direct as it is disarming @yokoono

🌍 Cristina Iglesias, ‘Inner Landscape’- A sculptural pool that mimics the flow of tides—echoing nature’s quiet power and reminding us of the geologic time beneath our feet @cristinaiglesiasestudio

🌍 Olafur Eliasson, ‘Earth Perspectives’ - Nine imagined views of Earth. A poetic reframing of how we see the planet—and how seeing differently can be a form of care @studioolafureliasson

🌍 Edward Burtynsky, ‘Anthropocene Series’- Aerial photography that captures the raw mark of human industry. Haunting, exacting, and impossible to look away from @edwardburtynsky

🌍 Giuseppe Penone, ‘Ideas of Stone’ - On view now at the Serpentine, Giuseppe Penone: Thoughts in the Roots explores our deep connection to the natural world through monumental bronze and stone, uncovering the memory, tension, and poetry embedded in organic forms @giuseppe_penone

🌍 Robert Smithson, ‘Spiral Jetty’ - An iconic work of land art, located in Utah’s Great Salt Lake, Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty reflects on entropy, geological time, and the ever-changing relationship between nature and art.
