Jordan Carter, curator at Dia Art Foundation, sits down with artists Alteronce Gumby and Amanda Williams to discuss the profound significance of color in their work, as well as the intersections between art and architecture.

In this interview, we delve into the realm of dance with choreographer Kyle Abraham, who put on a special performance inside the exhibition Social Abstraction in Beverly Hills this past July. Ahead of that event, Cameron Thompkins met with Abraham at New York’s Park Avenue Armory to discuss the relationships between dance, visual art, and abstraction.

Old friends chat about their love of music, nightclub paintings, life lessons from aikido, and Spencer Sweeney’s upcoming exhibition The Painted Bride, at Gagosian, New York.

Ryuan Johnson, sculptor and creative director, focuses on the works of Allana Clarke and Lauren Halsey to examine the key place of hair in Black culture. Through image and poetry, Johnson reveals the cultural and historical significance of hair as a medium to discuss identity, community, and the politics of representation.

In conjunction with the memorial service for Brice Marden held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Mirabelle and Melia Marden produced a short film directed by Chiara Clemente to honor the late artist. Featuring interviews, archival photographs, and family videos, this film captures Marden’s vibrant life and enduring cultural impact.

Rick Lowe and artist Kevin Beasley discuss their engagement with material and place, as well as the social potentials of abstraction.
