For a few days each June, the compact, quietly elegant Swiss city of Basel, on the Rhine, becomes the centre of the art world, and it earns it.

The newcube Chicago Guide

Nothing quite beats springtime in Chicago. Like the rest of the Midwest, Chicago is a truly humble city, which is why Expo helps bring out its charm. Chicago is a place for foodies, the culturally curious, and people who just enjoy easy living and a sunny day above fifty degrees.

The newcube Hong Kong Guide

In Conversation: Ryan Wilde, Brigitte Mulholland & Bibi Zavieh

As part of the newcube’s sought after artist residency in Normandy, we brought together artist Ryan Wilde and gallerist Brigitte Mulholland for a “river-side” chat.

What follows is an open conversation between the artist, her longtime collaborator, gallerist and friend, and newcube’s founder on their respective creative evolution, working with care, building a life in and around art and the newcube residency in St-Martin-le-Gaillard this summer.
