Two students secure internships with Wells contemporary art exhibition
Two Somerset students have secured internships with a major contemporary art exhibition. Year 12 students from The Blue School, Elizabeth Adams and Gabriella Unciano, have joined the volunteer-led team behind Wells Art Contemporary (WAC). The annual exhibition will return to Wells Cathedral this October. Paddy O'Hagan, chair of WAC, said: "We are thrilled to welcome these bright young minds to our team. "We really value their assistance and enthusiasm, and we hope their involvement will strengthen a love for art within our community." The internship will give students first-hand experience of working with artists, curators, and organisers as they help deliver an international art exhibition in a Grade I-listed building. Mr O'Hagan said: "The addition of the interns from The Blue School underscores our commitment to nurturing the next generation of art professionals and providing them with meaningful opportunities to develop their skills." The exhibition will run from Wednesday, October 8 to Saturday, November 1. Gabriella, who recently moved to Wells from Bristol, said: "I think of Wells Art Contemporary as a really lovely way to showcase and promote international talent and art." WAC is also inviting members of the public to get involved as volunteers. A 'Meet the Stewards' event will be held on Thursday, July 3 at 6.30pm at Wells Museum.

A Lebanese Gallerist Marks 40 Years in the Industry With Three Shows
In 1985, Andrée Sfeir-Semler opened a small gallery bearing her name in the northern German city of Kiel. A Lebanese immigrant who had fled her country's 15-year-long civil war, Sfeir-Semler wanted to make her way in the European art world. Some 20 years later, during a visit to her home country as it was still healing from that war, she opened a second gallery among the bombed-out ruins of Beirut, Lebanon, the city of her birth, and began to embrace art and artists from the Arab world, having previously focused mostly on European artists. Now, Sfeir-Semler seems to be everywhere all at once. Her galleries will be a major presence at Art Basel this week, and, later this summer, exhibitions are planned at each location to mark their 40th and 20th anniversaries. Both venues will host a version of 'The Shade,' a show with works from 20 artists to honor the Beirut gallery, which has persisted even as Lebanon has fended off continued attacks from neighboring countries, dealt with an economic crisis and survived the Beirut port explosion in 2020. ('The Shade' begins Aug. 21 in Beirut and Sept. 4 in the German branch of the gallery; both iterations are currently scheduled to run until the end of the year.) Sfeir-Semler, 71, left Beirut with her family and immigrated to Germany in 1975. She studied at the University of Munich, the Sorbonne in Paris and Bielefeld University in Germany, where she earned her Ph.D., before opening her gallery in Kiel, with a focus on European artists. In 1998, she moved that gallery to Hamburg, continuing to work primarily with European artists. Her shift to representing mostly Arab artists came around the time that she opened the gallery's Beirut branch. This week at Art Basel, Sfeir-Semler Gallery's main booth will feature nine established and emerging artists from the Arab world, in what she described in a video interview as a 'dialogue between established voices and younger artists from my roster.' Also this week at the fair, two artists that the gallery represents, Walid Raad and Alia Farid, will be featured in the Unlimited sector, a portion of the fair devoted to large-scale work.

A Science-Minded Artist Shrinks the Universe to Human Scale
Katie Paterson's work has always been about Earth, and the great vastness beyond. A Scottish multidisciplinary artist, she has worked with scientists across the globe on exhaustively researched projects, including The Future Library, an anthology of 100 previously unpublished books written by some of the 21st century's most celebrated writers. In 2022, astronomers helped her count the times the sun has risen since the Earth was formed — to the most accurate level scientists can — for a piece titled '—there lay the Days between—.' Years earlier, she had worked with scientists specializing in light at the firm Osram to develop lightbulbs that simulate the lunar glow. And yet, 'I never want to go into space,' Paterson said in a video interview. Asked whether her works are portraits of Earth or of us, she said, 'It's going to be us.' 'If all those cosmic sequences hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here breathing and talking together,' she explained. Ultimately, she said, in all her work, she has always been trying to 'get a little bit closer to that understanding of quite how precious life is.' That lifetime pursuit underpins three current projects: a series of paintings on view in an exhibition in Cumbria, England, and 'Afterlife,' which will soon be installed at the Folkestone Triennial 2025 in Kent, England; and 'True North,' which has taken Paterson from Japan to the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, where she has just completed a residency.
