Europe's largest digital art museum is opening in Hamburg next year - inspired by the success of Japanese collective teamLab’s immersive experiences.

The UBS Digital Art Museum will open with its own edition of teamLab's creation Borderless across its 6,500-square-meter space.

It will be the collective's third permanent museum showcase, following Tokyo, Shanghai and Saudi Arabia and the first in Europe and is the idea of German entrepreneur Lars Hinrichs who visited the Tokyo venue in 2019.

Photographer Rosalind Fox Solomon, whose behind-the-scenes pictures captured the 2019 renovation of New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), has died aged 95.

Her death was confirmed by the Stephen Bulger Gallery which represented her.

Fox Solomon's MoMA pictures, which captured the back room staff at work, were typical of her approach which focused on people away from the public eye and saw her photograph AIDS patients and child laborers in South America.

Last year, she published a visual autobiography, A Woman I Once Knew, including unflinching images of her aging body.

New York's MoMA PS1 is getting a makeover - and a tribute to the city's graffiti scene - courtesy of one of its pioneers, Lady Pink.

The artist, who was still a teenager when her work featured in the museum’s 1981 New York/New Wave show along with the likes of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, unveils her mural tomorrow.

It features images of the city's subway cars she made her name tagging as a woman in the male-dominated graffiti scene in the late 1970s.

Founded by Alanna Heiss in the late 1970s, PS1 became a pioneering space for urban-themed exhibitions, often featuring street artists, under her leadership.

It is more than 10,000 miles from New Hampshire to New South Wales but the story is the same - cuts to government art budgets.

Discussions in the US state, which recently announced the formation of a Commission on Government Efficiency, has seen politicians propose its art council be shut down or left with a budget of $1.

Meanwhile in Australia, the state arts agency in New South Wales got its share of bad news with proposals to axe a quarter of its workforce.

Staff at Create NSW were told "post Covid" pressures including higher costs called for a "refocusing" of the way they worked.

1 - Dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is showing a new site-specific work in Ukraine later this year, commissioned by Ribbon International. He said Three Perfectly Proportioned Spheres and Camouflage Uniforms Painted White, which will be at the Pavilion 13 culture center in Kyiv from September 14, was a "dialogue about war and peace, rationality and irrationality".

2 - The Art Gallery of Ontario has acquired more than 200 photographs by Peter Hujar ahead of a 25th anniversary exhibition celebrating its photography department. Hujar's black and white portraits taken in 1970's and 80's New York only really became appreciated after his death from AIDS/HIV in 1987.

3 - A team of South African video game developers has made a game where players join a gang of art thieves targeting treasures to be stolen and repatriated from western museums. Relooted features objects based on real objects whose ownership is disputed but based in fictional museums.
