As the summer season reaches its height, July continues to bring together some of the most significant moments on the international cultural calendar. From Venice and Arles to major institutional exhibitions across Europe, this month's edition explores the exhibitions, conversations and artistic developments shaping contemporary culture throughout the season.
Leading this edition is ARTSA's exclusive interview with Arne Quinze, reflecting on The Absurd and the Dreamlike at La Citadelle, Villefranche-sur-Mer. We also look at the continued impact of the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, the opening of Les Rencontres d'Arles 2026, a selection of Europe's must-see summer exhibitions, and Martin Margiela's landmark presentation of his personal archive in Paris.
A curated overview of the exhibitions, institutions and cultural conversations defining the international art world this July.
