Tyree Guyton, famous for his whimsically apocalyptic Heidelberg Project in Detroit, has often been categorized more as an “outsider” than as an “artist,” but now he’s moving inside. Literally: There is an elegantly and pristinely curated show of his work at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD). But also inside the art world: He’s joined the Martos Gallery in New York, which will do a show with him next fall, and in the meantime, they’ve brought his work at the NADA fair in Miami.

Who owns art, antiquities and cultural artifacts, from the Elgin Marbles to the cultural artifacts of First Nations? It's a question museums and nations were left to struggle with after colonial powers stepped in. And, if the world's great museums were emptied of these treasures, could the story of civilization still be told to millions around the world? The Agenda looks at all the arguments in this equation, and at Canada's strategy to preserve Indigenous heritage. With guests Lucy Bell of the Royal B.C. Museum, Cara Krmpotich of the University of Toronto and Gail Lord of Lord Cultural Resources.

The thing with magic is that you have to be aware it is around. Otherwise, it just stays invisible to you. Which brings us to the Museum of Illusions, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it place on Front Street East, on the very edge of Toronto’s tourist district. Despite its modest exterior, however, the museum holds an impressive collection of bright installations and smaller pieces designed to confuse visual senses, impress the Instagram set and challenge the quaint, conventional notion that seeing is believing.

We've now entered the post-digital age. Given you're reading these words on a digital screen, this obviously doesn't mean we've somehow moved beyond the digital. No, the post-digital describes the blurring of the digital and analogue worlds, when real experiences become interchangeable with virtual ones. We're seeing this in AR, health and activity trackers, iBeacons, geofences and the internet of things, to name just the few most obvious examples.

If we were to bury a time capsule filled with vestiges of visual culture in 2018, we would include the work of the following photographers, designers, artists, directors, tech leaders, activists, and influencers. This list goes beyond the art world and into pop culture, internet vernacular, and the wider news cycle. It’s about who is contributing to a more diverse set of voices in art, film, fashion, and beyond. It’s about milestones: the first black photographer to shoot a Vogue cover; the youngest architect to design the Serpentine Pavilion; the first artist to have his work self-destruct mid-auction. And it’s about recognizing visionaries of the past, whose work is imbued with new meaning in our current social landscape, from an underrepresented Baroque painter to the designers of the European Union flag. Here, we highlight the 25 individuals and collaborators who shaped what our culture looks like in 2018.
