The Week in Art

From breaking news and insider insights to exhibitions and events around the world, the team at The Art Newspaper picks apart the art world’s big stories with the help of special guests. An award-winning podcast hosted by Ben Luke.

Ben Luke talks to Ralph Rugoff, artistic director of the last Venice Biennale and director of the Hayward Gallery, London, about Matthew Barney and Igshaan Adams, two very different artists exploring autobiography, social issues and dance, among much else, at the Hayward (both until 25 July).

Louisa Buck talks to the curator Laura Smith as the Whitechapel Gallery unveils two shows about Surrealism and women artists: a solo show of Eileen Agar’s work Angel of Anarchy (until 29 August) and an archival show Phantoms of Surrealism (until 12 December) about women’s role in the movement.

And for this week’s Work of the Week, Philip Larratt-Smith discusses Passage Dangereux (1997) by Louise Bourgeois, a work in his new show, Louise Bourgeois, Freud’s Daughter (until 12 September), at the Jewish Museum in New York.
