For our A/W 2021 issue: All is Landscape, TLmag had the pleasure of interviewing ceramic artist, Harriet Hellman, whose raw, elemental sculptural ceramic objects hold stories of time past and present.

TLmag spoke to Lionel Estève about his current exhibition, “Jolie Pluie,” on view at Grzegorzki Shows in Berlin, his ongoing fascination with rain, and why challenging situations often lead to the best results.

For TLmag36: All Is Landscape, guest editor, Bas Smets, invited author and activist, Kathelin Gray, to write about her experience and connections to the Biosphere 2, an experimental and ambitious project about the earth and climate change.

Through an engaging body of work that includes murals, video, research and design, Rebeca Méndez, faces up to climate emergency and shows us how the migration of a bird connects deeply to the health of the environment.

For TLmag36, Emanuele Coccia spoke with Sibylle Grandchamp about his ideas on nature, the role that culture can play in our understanding of the landscape, and how artists can help guide us to better engage in the seismic changes the world is experiencing.

TLmag gave Brussels-based artist, Sophie Whettnall, carte blanche to create a special feature for TLmag36: All Is Landscape. “My Quick Little Story About Landscape Painting,” is a series of red ink on paper drawings inspired by iconic landscapes from art history, many of which were directly connected to other themes in this issue, including Flemish landscapes and active volcanoes.

Contemporary Czech artist and architect, Michal Motyčka, presents a series of new sculptural glass and mirrored work at Galerie Kuzebauch through February 3, 2022.

When Bas Smets began the designs for the park at Luma Arles, the land was an old rail yard with little trace of nature. This portfolio is a visual diary of the extensive transformation process of creating his award-winning climate-conscious and welcoming park at Luma Arles.

On January 20th, Spazio Nobile Gallery opens an solo show by Éva Garcia titled, “Can this light…?

An extract of Etel Adnan’s “Writings & Paintings” was reproduced in the A/W 2021 issue: TLmag36: All Is Landscape, just before she passed away in Paris at the age of 96.

On January 13, an exhibition of her final works, “Discovery of Immediacy” (Découverte de l’immédiat), opened at Galerie Lelong in Paris and New York.
