Life mirrors art: the story of Yayoi Kusama
When Yayoi Kusama died in Tokyo on 14 August, aged 97, she left behind a legacy almost unparalleled in contemporary art. The Japanese artist, who arrived in New York in 1958 as an outsider—female, Asian and largely unknown—eventually became one of the most recognisable artists on the planet. Her dots and pumpkins migrated from canvases and sculptures onto handbags and shopfronts; her Infinity Mirror Rooms generated queues around museums and millions of selfies.
‘Another way of engaging the city’: centrepiece of Art Week Tokyo sends visitors to venues across the capital
AWT Focus launched in 2023 as Art Week Tokyo’s centrepiece exhibition platform. Last year it took place at the Okura Museum of Art , where Adam Szymczyk brought together more than 50 artists for What Is Real? For 2026, the format is being radically reconfigured. In collaboration with Curated by, the Vienna gallery festival, Art Week Tokyo has invited curators to organise ten exhibitions across ten participating galleries and art spaces around the city.
Penn hosts Pa. House Speaker Joanna McClinton for discussion on career, state policy
Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton discussed her path from public defense to elected office during a Monday event. The Oct. 26 conversation, jointly hosted by Penn Democrats and the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy, focused on McClinton’s career and legislative priorities. She also outlined her plans for addressing affordability in Pennsylvania — including efforts to raise the minimum wage and support housing funding.
The $3,998,000 club: the magic number in Los Altos real estate
If you follow Los Altos real estate, you may have noticed a curious pattern this fall. Almost every week, a home comes on the market priced at or just under $3,998,000. And almost every one of them sells well above that number, often by $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. Since March, seven Los Altos homes have listed at or near this price, and they look remarkably alike on paper: a flat lot of 10,000 square feet or more, a modest older house of roughly 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and dated condition.

Building PhotoToPhoto: A Frictionless AI Image-to-Image Transformation Tool
Hi everyone! 👋 As an engineer, I noticed that while generative AI models have improved dramatically, most tools for image-to-image styling and restoration remain either bloated with complex interfaces or locked behind steep paywalls. To solve this, I built PhotoToPhoto — an intuitive, browser-based web application designed to make photo restyling fast, accessible, and frictionless.
Put a price on research breakthroughs
Neolabs today are being asked to pull off two moonshots at once. Their investors want both a research breakthrough and a venture-scale business, even though each of those alone is a 1 in 100 outcome. Asking for both makes their chances 1 in 10,000. I think there’s a better alternative, one that borrows from the way pharma handles risky R&D and lets frontier labs, neolabs, and investors all come out ahead.
‘Comfortable and refreshed’: After three years, Quad renovation is complete
After three years of construction, the newly renovated Quad opened all of its gates to Penn’s Class of 2030. In August, the Quad welcomed nearly 1,300 first-year students into its three dormitories — Riepe College House, Ware College House, and Fisher Hassenfeld College House. With updated infrastructure and new community spaces, current residents anticipate that these renovations could transform their living experience.
From Desert to Oasis?

Pola Museum reveals new direction—but stays true to to its large trove of Monets
Few museums have reshaped their collections over the past decade as dramatically as the Pola Museum of Art in Hakone, Japan. Since 2015, the museum has quietly become one of Japan’s most active institutional buyers of international art, acquiring works by Gerhard Richter, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Wolfgang Tillmans at a time when many museums in the country were reducing acquisitions.
Extreme heat impacts a majority of Americans, Penn survey finds
Extreme heat has impacted the daily activities of more than three-quarters of American adults over the past year, a survey by Penn’s Annenberg Public Policy Center found. TheAnnenberg Science and Public Health survey, released on Sept. 17, examined Americans’ experiences with extreme heat and their understanding of its health risks.

MARKHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, June 15, 2026 / EINPresswire.com/ -- Homeowners across the Greater Toronto Area are spending thousands of dollars on interlocking driveways, patios, and walkways, only to watch them sink, shift, and crack within a few years.
Trump and Xi Meet in Beijing
Climate change is NOT on the agenda When Presidents Trump and Xi meet this week in Beijing, climate and environment will not be on the agenda. That absence is striking, because the U.S. and China are now moving in radically different directions on climate, energy, and environmental protection. The US is in an extraordinarily anti-environmental moment. It has exited both the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
La réémergence de la Chine : un miracle dans l'histoire humaine

Mind the baby! Visitors to the Japanese Venice Biennale pavilion will be asked to look after dolls
For Ei Arakawa-Nash, representing Japan carries particular significance. Born in Fukushima Prefecture but now working internationally and no longer holding Japanese citizenship, the artist occupies a position rarely foregrounded at the pavilion. “The Japan Pavilion hasn’t really addressed diaspora before,” the artist says. “So I feel a responsibility to represent minority voices.” The project also emerges from personal experience.
Une visite politique à haute portée symbolique et stratégique
Officiellement invitée par Xi Jinping, la Présidente du Kuomintang Zheng Li Wen a effectué du 7 au 12 avril une visite en Chine continentale (Nankin, Shanghai, Pékin) — la première rencontre directe à haut niveau entre les dirigeants du KMT et du PCC depuis près de dix ans.
Innovation : pourquoi la Chine va plus vite que la France ?
On affirme souvent qu’en Chine, il suffit de quelques heures pour transformer une idée en prototype1, alors qu’il faudrait en France des semaines, des mois, voire des années, pour parvenir au même résultat. Cette formule peut sembler un peu exagérée, mais elle traduit une réalité perçue par de nombreux entrepreneurs : la vitesse d’exécution en Chine est spectaculaire. D’où vient cette différence ? Plusieurs explications sont fréquemment avancées.
Streamlined and Sponsor-Friendly: What China’s Amended Drug Regulations Mean for Pharma Companies
On January 27, 2026, China’s State Council published the amended Implementing Regulations of the Drug Administration Law (the Regulations), which will take effect on May 15, 2026.

Hong Kong : toujours un pôle d’influence
Hong Kong peut-il encore jouer un rôle en Chine et dans le monde ? Le développement de Shenzhen, l’intégration à la Chine ont-ils supprimé les avantages particuliers de la cité ? Hong Kong joue toujours un rôle majeur, notamment économique et financier. Depuis 1997, la ville n’a cessé de se réinventer pour continuer à peser. Située à la croisée de l’Asie et du monde occidental, Hong Kong occupe depuis plus d’un siècle une position stratégique unique.
La Chine affirme son indépendance économique face aux États-Unis
L’année 2025 est une année charnière pour la Chine vis-à-vis des Etats-Unis. Après près d’une décennie de tensions commerciales, technologiques et militaires, la Chine ne se contente plus de résister à la pression américaine : elle démontre qu’elle peut absorber les chocs, contourner les restrictions et redéfinir les règles du jeu. Loin d’être contrainte, elle devient un acteur que les États-Unis cherchent désormais à équilibrer plutôt qu’à contenir.

National Security Strategy 2025 : un tournant pour le monde ?
Le recentrage opéré par la NSS 2025 — priorité donnée aux Amériques, défense du territoire national, « America First » — modifie profondément la posture américaine à l’échelle mondiale. L’Europe est désormais invitée à être moins dépendante, à investir dans sa propre défense, voire à repenser la nature des alliances. Le Pacifique reste un enjeu pour les États-Unis, mais dans un cadre moins interventionniste et plus ciblé, fondé sur l’intérêt national et la coopération alliée.

Une cohérence stratégique rare pour les terres rares
La stratégie chinoise des terres rares illustre la capacité de la Chine à planifier sur le long terme. En moins de quarante ans, la Chine est passée du statut de producteur périphérique à celui de maître incontesté de la filière mondiale.

L'opposition taïwanaise élit un nouveau dirigeant qui souhaite la paix avec la Chine
Le 18 octobre 2025, Cheng Li-wun a remporté l’élection à la présidence du Kuomintang (KMT) avec environ 50,15 % des suffrages (65 122 voix). Ce résultat traduit le choix d’un certain renouveau du leadership mais aussi l’affirmation d’une orientation politique privilégiant le maintien de la paix avec la Chine continentale. Le Kuomintang (KMT) est en situation d’opposition : il a perdu les trois dernières élections présidentielles et tente de se repositionner.

Commentary: Even Saudi Arabia is focused on solar energy. Will the U.S. be left behind?
While the Trump administration has effectively declared war on wind and solar energy — blocking all permitting of projects on federal lands and pushing through a rollback of federal subsidies and tax credits — other nations are embracing renewable energy as a strategy for building economic and political strength.

About 300 of these workers were South Korean citizens. 14 were from China, Japan, and Indonesia. Another 145 were from Mexico and other Latin American countries.
