Comment | Sunil Gupta’s intimate photographs show how art and activism can work together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sunil Gupta’s From Here to Eternity (1999), which features in his survey at Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge opening this month, is suffused with bittersweet poetry. He depicts himself in six photographic diptychs, made in the wake of his HIV positive diagnosis four years earlier.

Comment | Felix Gonzalez-Torres's major survey in Madrid shows how his art was both stridently political and gently lyrical (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 13-year-old Felix Gonzalez-Torres arrived in Madrid in 1971, sent from Cuba by his parents, who remained in his homeland.
