A conversationwith Adam Berninger about the new Heft Gallery which recently opened at 300 Broome Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The gallery features artists who utilize contemporary tools, such as artificial intelligence and algorithms, to reflect on the contemporary world. In the conversation, we discuss his journey from running the gallery online under the name Tender to opening the new physical space for Heft. We also delve into how his background in photography and fabrication has influenced his approach to curating and presenting works, as well as the evolving role of the gallerist, and the unique opportunities and challenges of working with artists who are deeply connected to both traditional and digital art communities.https://heftgallery.com/https://tender.art/https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamberninger/

A conversation with painter Kylie Manning about her latest exhibit, There is something that stays, on view at Pace Gallery’s West 25th Street locations in New York through April 19.

In the conversation, we discuss the inspiration behind the new body of work and her evolving relationship with color and form.https://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/kylie-manning-there-is-something-that-stays/http://www.kyliemanning.com/https://www.pacegallery.com/artists/kylie-manning/

A conversation with art critic and author Jarrett Earnest about the new book “Feint of Heart”, in which Earnest has compiled a kaleidoscopic collection of art essays by the late Dave Hickey. Spanning 1982-2002, the assembled works reflect the intelligence, humor and wit that epitomize Hickey’s contribution to the world of art.https://www.davidzwirner.com/collect/feint-of-heart-art-writings-bookhttps://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1644231271?tag=simonsayscomhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Feint-of-Heart-Art-Writings/Dave-Hickey/9781644231272

A conversation with renowned photographer Jeff Wall. Wall’s work transforms everyday moments into cinematic, almost painterly scenes. His latest exhibition at Gagosian’s 541 West 24th Street location in New York runs November 8 to December 21. In that exhibit, he explores themes of memory, artifice, and narrative through his unique approach to staged and ‘near-documentary’ photography. https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2024/jeff-wall/https://gagosian.com/artists/jeff-wall/

A conversation with renowned artist Joel Shapiro. In his sixth decade of studio production, Shapiro continues to push the boundaries of form, movement, and space in his sculptural practice. In the conversation, we discuss the nature of his work and his latest show at Pace, which demonstrates his continued ability to transform basic geometric shapes into dynamic, expressive works that engage both the viewer and the surrounding environment.https://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/joel-shapiro-new-york/
