Gagosian Shop, New York

In celebration of their new book, Redaction, Titus Kaphar and memoirist, poet, and attorney Reginald Dwayne Betts will sign copies, following a poetry reading by Betts. The volume documents the pair’s Redaction series, first presented in 2019 at MoMA PS1, New York. Bringing together poetry by Betts that draws upon redacted legal documents and Kaphar’s etched portraits of incarcerated individuals, the project exposes the ways in which the legal system exploits and erases the poor and incarcerated from public consciousness. Redaction was designed in close collaboration with Kaphar and Betts and also includes an introduction by Sarah Suzuki, associate director at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Published by W. W. Norton & Company, the book will be available for purchase at the event.

Burlington Arcade, London

Join Gagosian and Phaidon to celebrate the publication of Omar Kholeif’s book, Internet_Art: From the Birth of the Web to the Rise of NFTs, in advance of its release by Phaidon in April 2023. In this survey, the author recounts the artists and events that have defined this mass medium from the inception of the World Wide Web in 1989 through today, tracing the key innovators from the emergence of browser-based art to the dawn of NFTs. Kholeif will speak with their friend Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, London, about the publication and how the internet has fostered new possibilities for artists, both analog and digital. After the talk, Kholeif will sign copies of the book, which is available for preorder and pickup at the shop, or for purchase at the event.

Gagosian, Park & 75, New York

Join Gagosian for a conversation inside the exhibition Chris Burden: Cross Communication at Gagosian, Park & 75, New York, between Yayoi Shionoiri, executive director of the Estate of Chris Burden, and art historians and professors Thomas Crow and Susan Rosenberg. The trio will discuss Burden’s performances and audio/video works of the 1970s and ’80s on view in the gallery; the Los Angeles art ecosystem of those years; and the challenges artists face in documenting and archiving their performances and experimental works. Exploring the construction of agency and intent, Burden’s early works confront the dominance of consumer culture and the increasing violence and complexity of American society.
