Welcome to HUMPDAY ART HOP, a weekly post of art, tech, architecture and design things I’ve found around the web. I hope this gives you a little serotonin boost to get you through the week.
HERE’S THIS WEEKS ART HOP:
MEET ME IN THE METAVERSE. Art Dubai kicks of this week and along with it is the 15th edition of the Global Art Forum. This years summit is entitled ‘This is the Picture’ and features over 20 speakers who will examine digital artifacts, crypto-economies, and Web 3.0 worlds. Here’s a list of this year’s scheduled speakers.
‘OH WOW, THIS IS GREAAAT.’ There’s a new play running in London about the star crossed paths of contemporary art titans Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. It has sites set on Broadway in the near future. Read more…
LESS WAR, MORE ART. The curator and artists of the Russian Pavillion at the Venice Biennale have resigned and the Pavilion will remain closed this year. I hope it becomes a site of intervention for other artists and visitors. I feel badly for the artists, but they are doing the right thing. You can read the full story from designboom. Read what was planned for the pavilion here.
THINK PINK! The New Institute in Rotterdam, The Netherlands is getting an addition to its building ahead of the inaugural Solar Biennial slated for this September. The addition includes a giant staircase that leads to an observation deck. All of it it will be neon pink! To know me is to know I love pink, so I’m all for this. I do hope it is wheelchair accessible though. You can read about the firm overseeing the addition here.

BEST IN SHOW. ArchDaily has release the 15 winners of the 2022 Building of the Year Awards and the work is breathtaking. From large projects to new residence, each of these buildings is uplifting and inspiring.
That’s all for this week.
Stay arty, I love you and you’re gorgeous! Mwah.
