Aya Takano's Ethereal Dreamscapes Head to Perrotin Los Angeles
Summary Later this month,Perrotin Los Angeleswill open its doors tohow deep how far we can go, a new exhibition by renowned Japanese artist AYATAKANO. A name synonymous with the dreamy, manga-inspired spirit of the Superflat movement, TAKANO is one of the few names on the roster ofKaikai Kiki Co., playing a pivotal role in the meteoric rise of theMurakami-founded art movement. The upcoming showcase beautifully builds on the artist's previous explorations of biological interconnectedness, ancestral consciousness and the cross-species connection. In this latest body of work, composed of new paintings installations and drawings, her blushing androgynous forms sit beside animals, ancient DNA strands and fungi — gentle-eyed, glowing and alive with shared breath. 'What I try to depict in my work is an invitation to a more organic, interconnected and harmonious world,' she explained. 'A place not centered around humans alone, but one that honors the radiance of all life.' With humans are no longer at the center, TAKANO revels in a dream of mutual becoming — with every organism rich in its capacity for 'spiritual depth and radical tenderness.' Wrapped in celestial fields of color, symbolic figures and otherworldly encounters,how deep how far we can gostands as a luminous reminder of what we are, and everything we're still becoming. As French novelist Michaël Ferrier describes, in this space, 'suddenly, animals are not wild beasts, but companions in a shared metamorphosis. Wolves, lions and leopards are painted in profile like figures from a prehistoric fresco – not fierce or menacing, but soft, sentient and noble. TAKANO's brush lingers not on claws or fangs, but on fur and gaze.' The exhibition will open in Los Angeles on July 19 and will remain open through August 30.

Orlando Bloom's rep breaks silence on Katy Perry breakup after split speculation
Hollywood power couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, who'd been sparking speculation about their yearslong romance, have broken up. Representatives for Bloom told USA TODAY in a July 3 statement that, "Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting." Us Weekly was first to report the news. "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect," the statement from Bloom's representatives continued. USA TODAY has reached out to Perry's representatives for further comment. The announcement comes after previous reports and media speculation that Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, had ended their nine-year relationship. People and Us Weekly reported in June that the couple had allegedly ended their engagement. Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017 and got engaged in February 2019. They welcomed daughter Daisy in 2020. Orlando Bloom arrives solo for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding Bloom raised eyebrows in late June when he attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Italy alone. The "Lord of the Rings" alum, donning a crisp white button-down and khaki slacks, flashed a peace sign to onlookers as he left the Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice via boat. Perry had a slate of four Lifetimes Tour concerts in Adelaide, Australia, during Bezos and Sánchez's wedding weekend. After the celebrity nuptials wrapped, Bloom posted some inspirational quotes on his Instagram Story on June 30. Katy Perry gets emotional: Teary-eyed singer thanks fans as she closes out Australian show In the first slide, Bloom re-posted a translated quote from the Buddha that read, "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most." In a follow-up post, Bloom typed up a "daily encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda," a prominent Japanese religious figure and Buddhist: "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next." Contributing: KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY

Alligator Alcatraz: Kona Ice, restaurants clarify after their trucks are seen at facility
Kona Ice sent an explainer while a Mexican food truck company apologized to its customers as both were seen participating in a catering event at the new Everglades immigration processing center called Alligator Alcatraz. "The event was booked through an unknown agency, and the franchisee was unaware of the facility's nature or its association with politically sensitive issues," Kona wrote on Instagram. "We deeply regret the impression our involvement may have given and the pain it has caused within our community," said Elote Lovers, a Mexican restaurant in Homestead, in a statement on Instagram. Kona Ice and Elote Lovers were two of four food trucks seen entering the facility in the Everglades in Miami-Dade County on a TikTok posted on July 2. The video, which now has over 3.7 million views, shows food trucks named Kona Ice, Elote Lovers, Churromania and Ms. Cheezius driving into the gate at the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport. "They love our food but hate our people," wrote TikTok user osozalez. In a statement on Instagram, Ms. Cheezius said the food truck was approached by a disaster response company to help provide meals for active service members who were working at Alligator Alcatraz. Watch as first immigrants arrive at Alligator Alcatraz "Contrary to misleading online narratives, our presence was not part of any celebration or grand opening, and we are not engaged in ongoing services there," the statement says. Kona Ice also released a statement and clarified that each Kona Ice truck is locally owned and operated. "Our brand exists to bring a moment of happiness to communities through our shaved ice experience – and we recognize the importance of ensuring that mission is never misinterpreted," the statement says. Restaurant said providing food was not an endorsement On Elote Lovers' website, the restaurant said that they started as a family-run food truck in 2011 but expanded in 2019. "What started as a small family venture has grown into a place where tradition meets innovation," the website said. "From our classic Mexican-style elotes to our loaded Crunchwraps, unique street eats, and Fresh Squeezed Lemonade, every bite is crafted with love, quality ingredients, and a little bit of heat!" The restaurant said providing food for Alligator Alcatraz was not an endorsement of the facility, which opened July 1 with a highly-publicized visit from President Donald Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Both toured the facility with Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie, who boasted about the state's quick efforts to set up the immigration processing center in eight days. The state plans to hold 3,000 detained immigrants at the Everglades detention center for future removal to their countries of origin. It's been heavily criticized, with opponents arguing it will harm the fragile ecosystem of the Everglades, is inhumane to detainees and the facility will waste taxpayer dollars. DeSantis described these sites as a "one-stop shop" for deportation. Questions for comment from Churromania are pending. "We do not support, condone, or align ourselves with any form of oppression, abuse, of injustice," Elote Lovers said. "We never have and we never will."
