Studio Museum in Harlem, Grand Egyptian Museum, Stanley Spencer

As the Studio Museum in Harlem opens in its first ever purpose-built space, a new building by the architects Adjaye Associates, The Art Newspaper’s editor-in-chief in the Americas, Ben Sutton, speaks to Thelma Golden, the museum’s director, and Ben Sutton then gives reviews the building and the inaugural programming with Ben Luke. In Egypt, the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum, or GEM, has opened at last. Our digital editor, Alexander Morrison, talks to one of our Middle East correspondents, Melissa Gronlund, about this monumental institution. And this episode’s Work of the Week is Tree and Chicken Coops, Wangford by Stanley Spencer (1925). The painting features in the exhibition Love & Landscape: Stanley Spencer in Suffolk at Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury, which is in the heart of the eastern English county of Suffolk. Ben Luke speaks to Amy Lim, the co-curator of the exhibition, about the picture.

The Studio Museum in Harlem opens 15 November.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is open now.
