In This Issue

Art Almanac acknowledges and pays respect to the many Aboriginal nations across this land, traditional custodians, Elders past and present; in particular the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land on which we work.

November 2025

Our November cover – with a work in which its subject appears to both float and sinks – shows us something of what Italian-born, US-based Paola Pivi is known for: playfully blurring lines between reality and fantasy, often incorporating animals and objects in surreal scenarios. Pivi’s show I don’t like it, I love it opens at The Art Gallery of Western Australia on 8 November and is one of this issue’s twenty selected exhibitions.

Also in the pages of our latest issue, we soak in two featured exhibitions – Polly Borland’s Puffs (opening at Sullivan+Strumpf, Melbourne on 20 November) and Super Kaylene Whiskey (this major survey of Yankunytjatjara woman Kaylene Whiskey that opens at National Portrait Gallery on 15 November); feature UK-born, Spain-based multimedia artist Max Patté – ahead of a show opening 6 November at Kelli Lundberg Art; and present our usual national perspective on art news, awards, events, and more.
