Join Hatchards to celebrate Francesca Woodman: The Artist’s Books, published in association with the Woodman Family Foundation. All eight of Woodman’s unique artist’s books are reproduced for the first time in one comprehensive volume, including two that have never before been seen. Writer and editor Claire Marie Healy; Katarina Jerinic, collections curator at the Woodman Family Foundation; and Magdalene Keaney, curator of Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In at the National Portrait Gallery, London, will consider how Woodman’s transformation of found volumes demonstrates a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offers a new understanding of the scope of her engagement with the book form. The trio will also discuss the images used to create the artist’s books that are on view at Gagosian, Burlington Arcade, London, from March 18 to April 6, 2024. Published by MACK, the book will be available for purchase at the event.

Jamian Juliano-Villani: It
With the artist and Alvaro Barrington

Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 6pm
Gagosian, 541 West 24th Street, New York

Join Gagosian for a walkthrough of Jamian Juliano-Villani: It at Gagosian, New York, with the artist and her friend and fellow painter Alvaro Barrington. The pair—both of whom draw from contemporary culture and art history in their practices—will guide visitors through the mirage of distorted iconography found in Juliano-Villani’s new paintings, in which the artist pursues strategies of appropriation and reference.

Join Gagosian for a special screening of van G (2023), a film made collaboratively by Albert Oehlen and director Oliver Hirschbiegel, in conjunction with the artist’s exhibition of new paintings at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London. A romance, the film depicts the relationship between Vincent van Gogh (played by Ben Becker) and his models, whom he struggled to recruit and pay. Van G additionally provides insight into the artist’s techniques, clearing up some common misunderstandings about them. The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Oehlen. The event is free to attend.
