Feathered frolics, webcam landscapes and The Hay Wain – the week in art

The Guardian · 1 month ago

The Guardian's weekly art newsletter rounds up the latest exhibitions and cultural highlights, led by a major show of Cuban-born American artist Ana Mendieta at Tate Modern. The dispatch also marks the 250th anniversary of John Constable with the return of his celebrated painting The Hay Wain to Suffolk, alongside a range of contemporary and historical works across British galleries.

Among the featured openings are Mendieta's ephemeral, nature-embracing works (Tate Modern, 15 July to 17 January), Constable's The Hay Wain (Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich, until 4 October), Madelon Vriesendorp at Sir John Soane's Museum (15 July to 20 September), John Kay's Georgian caricatures in Edinburgh (until 6 December) and Jasper Marsalis's images from unattended internet cameras at global beauty spots (Chisenhale Gallery, until 6 September). The newsletter also spotlights the "Soft and Hairy House" in an exhibition on architect Kathryn Findlay at V&A Dundee (until 28 August), and names Annibale Carracci's Young Satyr Gathering Grapes (1597–1600) at the National Gallery as its masterpiece of the week.

  • Ana Mendieta headlines a major Tate Modern exhibition from 15 July.
  • Constable's The Hay Wain returns to Suffolk for his 250th anniversary.
  • Carracci's satyr painting is named masterpiece of the week.
