For over fifty years, James Turrell has explored light as a substance in itself, rather than simply a means to an end. On May 28th, Gagosian Hong Kong will present “Lifting the Veil,” an exhibition showcasing his work with holograms, prints, three Glasswork sculptures, and documentation from his famous Skyspace and Roden Crater projects. Given Hong Kong’s vibrant and brightly lit urban landscape, the exhibition feels particularly relevant – less a random event and more a deliberate statement.

The main source of suspense in Death Note is the intense battle of wits between Light and L, a highly skilled detective who’s determined to catch him as he starts killing people. While Death Note has a lot going for it, and its strengths outweigh its weaknesses, it isn’t necessarily the greatest thriller anime ever made. Several other dark and suspenseful anime series feature even stronger writing.

I didn’t truly appreciate the song until I saw Earle perform it live about ten years after it came out. It was at the City Winery in Washington, DC – a city full of people from all over the world. Hearing him introduce the song and sing it in that small, cozy venue had a much bigger impact on me than just listening to the recorded version.

A fresh look at season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms confirms the return of Ser Duncan the Tall as filming continues on the Game of Thrones prequel. Set nearly a century before the original series, the show follows Dunk and his companion, Aegon Targaryen (known as Egg), on their journey across Westeros. The first season was well-received by critics, and a second season was greenlit even before it finished airing. Filming for the new episodes began in December 2025.

Alberto Vázquez is a filmmaker gaining recognition for his unique style, particularly with films like the coming-of-age horror Birdboy: The Forgotten Children and the genre-mixing Unicorn Wars, which blends elements of Bambi and Apocalypse Now. His latest work shows he’s full of interesting and thought-provoking ideas, rooted in existential themes. However, while these concepts are strong, the film lacks a clear, unifying direction, resulting in an uneven viewing experience.

The next Spider-Man movie, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is scheduled to be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film released in 2026. As the release date approaches, Sony Pictures has released a new teaser, giving fans a glimpse of the action-packed scenes to expect.

Drake’s new album, ICEMAN, is finally here! After nearly two years of anticipation, the rapper is releasing his ninth studio record this New Music Friday, and everyone is eager to hear it. The expectations are incredibly high.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is designed for younger viewers, but it cleverly connects to the larger Star Wars universe while still telling its own unique story. Jude Law’s performance as the villain, Jod Na Nawood, was particularly strong, adding depth to the show and helping to create a beloved pirate adventure that quickly gained a dedicated following.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to walk inside a silver cloud above a marsh? That’s the feeling the new Hainan Science Museum in Haikou, China, aims for. Designed by architect Ma Yansong and his firm MAD Architects, the museum officially opened recently, creating a stunning illusion of floating above the landscape.
