Online now: Pompeii Commitment. Link in bio. Archaeological Matters presents artist Sophia Al-Maria’s Digital Fellowship, titled Thirsty for Ruin. Sophia Al-Maria’s creative practice is rooted in her exploration of speculative fiction as a tool for recovering erased histories and suppressed voices. On the occasion of her Digital Fellowship, Al-Maria presents a historical fiction in the form of a sonic invocation, specifically conceived for Pompeii Commitment. Archaeological Matters thanks to a collaboration with the composer Patrick Belaga. @sxphix_xl_mxrix @pompeii_commitment #sophiaalmaria #pompeiicommitment #projectnativeinformant

🌋 👁️ ‘In the House of the Trembling Eye’ #ithotte 🔥 @aspenartmuseum Closing tomorrow… An epic exhibition, the invitation of a lifetime: to ‘stage’ works borrowed from local Aspen collections in combination with fragments of ancient Roman frescos from the archeological site of Pompeii and my own paintings. 3 floors, 9 rooms, 105 artworks, 73 artists. Organized on the occasion of the museum’ 45th anniversary and celebrating a decade of their building designed by Shigeru Ban. Inspired by my discoveries made while a fellow of @pompeii_commitment in 2022, a residency program that allowed me to visit Pompeii and access hidden treasures. Pure joy to collaborate with so many knowledgeable and passionate partners to bring this crazy idea to life… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 @stellabottai for the first invitation to Pompeii and all things co-curation, you are the web that connects it all @nicolaleesm for taking the plunge and directing the magic @danielmerritt and @simonemkrug for making it happen with grace and holding down the fort Caitlin Tobias Kennesey for architectural expertise The dream teams of @aspenartmuseum @pompeii_parco_archeologico @pompeii_commitment All the adventurous and generous lenders to the exhibition, and to those in the wider community who championed the project and came on the tours! Philip and @hauserwirth @antennaspace @giomarconigallery @dependance.gallery for being there and support P. Booth in the London studio and @graceleeisonline for help with the exhibition posters @studiomathiasclottu and @sarahhandelman for the brilliant upcoming catalogue The mountains and the altitude for the high vibes Dedicated to the artists (ancient and contemporary) whose work I was lucky enough to live and breathe for the past eighteen months while putting this together, no words just trust in painting 🙏🏻🩷🩷🩷 All documentation, floor plans, exhibition texts and an extended caption for each work @aspenartmuseum website!!

🔮Chapbook landing in 2025 🪽📓| PRE-ORDER available now via @genderfail 🔮 ✨ ABOUT GAY POMPEII ✨ With her debut chapbook, award-winning author and curator Legacy Russell returns to poetry with her GAY POMPEII, a collection of lyric poems that begin at the end of the world. Rising out of Russell’s 2022-2023 Digital Fellowship for Pompeii Commitment.Archaeological Matters, the first long-term, contemporary art programme established by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, the author and curator explores ash, filth, dirt, and decay, intersectional with the fetishistic mythos of Pompeii and its destruction in 79 CE by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that receives over two million visitors per year to view its archeological excavation. Russell puts the mass voyeurism, sensation, extraction, and loss of Pompeii—a devastating moment frozen in time—to work. In GAY POMPEII, the site becomes a device with which Russell unspools birth, death, genocide, visual culture, and space-time. The title of this compilation underscores the essence and demand of capitalism: to be carefree in the face of looming extinction. Russell’s GAY POMPEII is a selfie taken at the edge of catastrophe and a polyphonic elegy. ✨ ABOUT GENDERFAIL ✨ GenderFail (founded in 2015) is a publishing, programming, and archiving platform run solely by Be Oakley. GenderFail is not non-profit but profit-for-survival or profit-to-continue-our-work-without-other-means-of-capital. With GenderFail, publishing is personal; it’s a tool for disseminating imperfect but powerful ideas. GenderFail has published work by numerous artists, including E. Jane, Lex Brown, Alok Vaid-Menon, American Artist, Demian Dineyazhi, Paul Paul Soulellis A.L. Stiener, Eileen Myles, Pamela Sneed and many others. I am honored to celebrate and support the vision of the brilliant Be Oakley as they continue to advance their exciting and rigorous platform with love 🖤 Grateful for the unflagging support of the amazing team behind this project @pompeii_commitment @stellabottai @cateavataneo @curamagazine thanks for sticking with it as we moved through multiple stages of regeneration 🙏🏾

#PCMopening Come un canto funebre, viscerale e profondo, un’antica trenodia greca, che nell’alternanza di cori e voci soliste accompagnavano nell’ultimo saluto il defunto, così la mostra personale “Pompeii Threnody” di Cerith Wyn Evans - che inaugura venerdì 18 luglio all’Antiquarium di Boscoreale - conduce il visitatore in un dialogo inconscio e involontario “con chi e con ciò che, in fondo, continua a vivere a Pompei”, rievocandone la perdurante vitalità della memoria. “Pompeii Threnody” è la prima mostra site-specific del programma @pompeii_commitment. Materie Archeologiche appositamente pensata per l’Antiquarium di Boscoreale e Villa Regina, offrendone una nuova lettura dei luoghi attraverso il linguaggio della contemporaneità. La mostra, a cura di Andrea Viliani con Stella Bottai (@stellabottai), Laura Mariano (@laurazzurra2), Caterina Avataneo (@cateavataneo), sarà aperta al pubblico da sabato 19 luglio 2025 a domenica 11 gennaio 2026. “Pompeii Threnody” esplora la memoria, il tempo e la trasformazione, elementi centrali nell’opera dell’artista gallese, tra i più raffinati e poetici del panorama internazionale. Dodici le opere in mostra, di cui dieci appositamente realizzate per l’occasione, in un dialogo suggestivo tra materia archeologica e immaginario contemporaneo. Foto: Photo credits Amedeo Benestante.

"Leda Was a Swan" is officially online and I could not be more proud! Here is my fav BTS production still of @mariannasimnett in her truest Leda/Swan queen essence. Also, as a tiny spoiler, sharing an excerpt of the text I wrote: "In Simnett’s hands, victim and aggressor wrangle phlegmatically before imploding into one, or perhaps becoming dismembered and stitched back together into a visceral lump made of soft textures and pronounced curves. Complying with feminist reinterpretations of the myth, the swan is defeated in the video, its neck theatrically covered with blood, reclining softly as the spotlight is directed towards Leda’s psychological state. The difference being, in this specific instance, that the monstrous other is Leda herself." Trust me when I say that there is so much more to unravel: you must must must visit @pompeii_commitment to see this marvellous Digital Fellowship. Directed and performed by @mariannasimnett Produced by Henry Eigenheer DoP @leander.ott AI Artist @fnekf Costume & Makeup @mariannasimnett Music & Edit @mariannasimnett Thank you Marianna and all the team behind this haunting masterpiece 🖤🦢🌚👑✨

Like a funeral chant—visceral and profound—an ancient Greek threnody in which alternating choruses and solo voices accompanied the deceased in their final farewell, “Pompeii Threnody,” the solo exhibition by Cerith Wyn Evans, similarly guides the visitor into an unconscious and involuntary dialogue ‘with those and with that which, deep down, continue to live in Pompeii,’ evoking the enduring vitality of memory. “Pompeii Threnody” explores memory, time, and transformation—central themes in the artist’s practice. Twelve works are on display, ten of which were created specifically for the occasion, forming a suggestive dialogue between archaeological material and contemporary imagination. Among them are nine photo-etchings dedicated to the cypresses of the Sarno plain, evoking the geological and memorial dimensions of the Vesuvian landscape; a light installation inspired by the ceremonial chariot found in Civita Giuliana, featuring the Latin palindrome IN GIRUM IMUS NOCTE ET CONSUMIMUR IGNI (‘We go wandering at night and are consumed by fire’); and two lamp-sculptures shaped like golden palms, installed in the patio of the Antiquarium in dialogue with the architecture of the nearby Villa Regina. “Pompeii Threnody” is the first site-specific exhibition of the program “Pompeii Commitment. Archaeological Matters,” specifically conceived for the Antiquarium of Boscoreale and Villa Regina, offering a new interpretation of these places through the language of contemporaneity. Now #OnView through 11 January 2026 🎥 @pompeii_parco_archeologico x @pompeii_commitment #CerithWynEvans
