Long-form
the long breath.
The long breath of the Journal. Pieces written to last, with time on their side: portraits of artists and of the houses that hold their work, edited conversations, places and the stories they keep, what an exhibition leaves behind, and long-form essays with a thesis and its sources. Five sections sharing one pace, slow enough for a thought to unfold.

Half the title on the entrance panel has been struck through in red. Inside, sixty years of ink: maps that keep their coasts and lose their names, and the founding manifesto of Futurism blacked out in the house that holds its paintings.

A Dialogue with Eva Sajovic on empires, ruins, and the things that outlive the structures that contained them. From Yugoslavia to Rome to London, and from the personal to the political to the material. What do we build, and what do we let fall?

In 1613, water arrives in London through a hand-dug channel and gathers at a site called New River Head. For four centuries, this place carries something essential to the city. On 5 June 2026, it opens its doors again as the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration, the world's largest space dedicated to a language that everyone understands.

Cecily Brown's Picture Making at Serpentine South, seen through Kensington Gardens. The South Flower Walk is in its first blooms. Virginia Woolf walked here as a child. Brown painted here as a memory. What stays, after the rooms, is the park itself: a place where painting, literature and looking keep returning to one another.

Four voices at the ICA. Three American artists and a curator sit in a room on The Mall and talk about what happens when art looks at money, and money looks back. A Dialogue from the preview and artists' talk of Genuine Fake Premium Economy.

In the late 1970s, a young German teacher arrived in Berlin and met Martin Kippenberger. Four decades later, the gallery she built from that encounter celebrates its fortieth anniversary in Naples, with a double exhibition that brings Kippenberger's Italian obsession to the city he never reached in his lifetime.

Founded in 1974 with a show by Dan Flavin, Studio Trisorio has spent fifty years changing the way Naples sees contemporary art. From the first photography exhibitions to the invention of Artecinema, from Villa Orlandi in Anacapri to three gallery spaces on the Chiaia waterfront, this is the story of a family, a city, and the conviction that art can reach everyone.

Since 1996, Artecinema has been bringing contemporary art to the screen in Naples. Thirty editions later, the festival founded by Laura Trisorio remains one of Europe's most important programmes of film on art, and one of the most generous: admission is free.

In a darkened room in one of Naples' most important galleries, a small LED projects the shadow of a globe onto a wall. Fabrizio Corneli has spent forty-five years making art from light. What he controls least is what interests him most.

Before the music begins, there is tuning — an act of alignment between two instruments that is already part of the performance. Harkeerat Mangat and Balázs Virágh make Indian classical music with the precision of cognitive science and the playfulness of two friends who find their shared obsession "totally hilarious and absurd."

In her studio on the family farm, surrounded by sheep and sea, Mogs Mellor paints what catches her eye: oystercatchers, boats, a sprat on blue plastic. She calls her best work "happy accidents." What moves her most is when a stranger walks in and says: I love this.

Not all the studios we visited in Argyll were artist studios. Some were houses, some were kitchens and some were pubs. Melfort House is all of these things combined. In this beautiful house on the shores of Loch Melfort, Matthew Anderson serves breakfast, plays the guitar in the pub across the road, and sends you to a tiny island for an evening of music you would never have found alone. For him, hospitality is a creative practice. The landscape is the calm that holds it all together.

In Argyll, reaching an artist's studio is already part of the work. Rory Gibson paints what he sees, travelling across islands by bicycle, choosing days of sun, finishing a canvas before the light shifts. His practice exists in the tension between the long time of the journey and the immediacy of the gesture.

On the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, where the road itself feels like part of the experience, a former farm building has been transformed into a contemporary gallery of rare clarity and character. At Resipole Studios, art is encountered as a quieter act of attention: shaped by landscape, architecture and the long journey that leads you there.

The Journal is the place where AnotherStory thinks aloud — where films find context, projects take shape, and stories continue beyond the screen. Not a blog, not a magazine: a living archive, a house for the eye that learns to stay.
