As part of the inaugural US edition at the FT Weekend Festival, Rachel Feinstein will speak with Financial Times arts editor Jan Dalley about her artistic practice on the Literature & Arts Stage. By synthesizing visual and societal opposites such as romance and pornography, elegance and kitsch, and the marvelous and the banal, Feinstein explores issues of taste and desire in her paintings, sculptures, and installations.
Gagosian is partnering with the Financial Times to host the Literature & Arts Stage at the one-day event where leading experts discuss the arts, music, literature, food, business, and technology. Recent Gagosian Quarterly films will be screened between sessions on the stage throughout the day and Gagosian publications will also be presented. To attend the event in person or online, purchase tickets at usftweekendfestival.live.ft.com.

In 2023, Rachel Feinstein was invited to submit a proposal for the fifth and sixth High Line Plinth commissions, to be installed in 2026 and 2027 in New York. She was nominated alongside forty-eight other artists by an international advisory committee of artists, curators, and arts professionals convened by High Line Art. In March 2024, Feinstein’s Castle on the Rock proposal was one of twelve shortlisted by the committee. Maquettes of the shortlisted proposals are on view in the Coach Passage on the High Line at 30th Street from March 19 through June 2024, and the public is encouraged to share their feedback on the High Line website, which will be considered by the curatorial team during the selection process.
