Hey Prazzlers,
Welcome to this week's edition of The Culture Dispatch!
This is our last edition for May — and what a month it's been. Venice, New York, Dubai, Berlin, Melbourne. We're closing it out on a high and already excited for what June has in store.
This week, Paris Gallery Weekend opens today for its 13th edition, with 70+ galleries throwing open their doors for free. ImageNation Barcelona is also on from today through Sunday.
On the exhibitions side: Antony Gormley at the KMSKA, Danielle McKinney at Boesky Gallery, Evan Murphy at ImageNation Barcelona, and JR returns to Paris's oldest bridge with a tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude, to name a few.
On the opportunities side: two PhotoVogue open calls, a €15,000 Belmond Photographic Residency, an emergency grant for painters and sculptors, and a fall residency in Athens.

Evan Murphy
'Wish You Well'

Evan Murphy presents Wish You Well at ImageNation Barcelona, curated by Martin Vegas and hosted at Matiz Gallery. The work continues Murphy’s focus on photography as a space of emotional transition, where images hold feeling in suspension rather than offering closure.
