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.

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.

Anna Weyant Selects

March 22–24, 2024
Metrograph, New York
metrograph.com

Anna Weyant has curated a selection of three films as part of an ongoing series copresented by Gagosian and Metrograph. Weyant comments, “The experience of watching each of these films is markedly different with respect to their individual style, storytelling, aesthetic, and dialogue. When I consider what it is about these stories that resonates with me, I am repeatedly drawn to their through lines of the power dynamics, complexities, and deceptions in relationships (and society); the uneasiness that comes from not fully knowing one’s surroundings (or the company one keeps); and our inherent desires for connection in an increasingly isolating world.”

Featured films include
Lost in Translation (2003, directed by Sofia Coppola)
Gone Girl (2014, directed by David Fincher)
Parasite (2019, directed by Bong Joon Ho)

Carsten Höller’s The Double Club Los Angeles transforms a vast warehouse in the heart of the Los Angeles Arts District, used by the Luna Luna team to unpack and reconstruct the rides on display in its restaging of the art amusement park, into a fanciful landscape. Now in its third incarnation, Höller’s installation begins with a single floor area and applies the mathematical rule of division by halving the footprint, while doubling it in height, to create nine unique spaces that deconstruct the carnival experience. The four-day event is presented by Prada Mode, in partnership with Luna Luna, and includes musical programming curated by the rapper Drake, who played a major role in bringing Luna Luna to LA, and Höller, who visited the park during its 1987 debut in Hamburg, Germany. The event is free and open to the public on March 9–10 with admission to Luna Luna.

Specially conceived for the reimagined spaces of the gallery at 10 Corso Como, Happy Birthday Louise Parker brings together a selection of iconic photographs from the past fifteen years by Roe Ethridge, including previously unreleased works. Curated by Alessandro Rabottini, the exhibition draws its title from the alluring presence of Louise Parker, a model with whom Ethridge collaborated on several fashion editorials starting in 2010. Over the years, the two became friends and Ethridge had the opportunity to portray Parker both inside and outside the framework of the fashion industry.

As part of the Gallery Met Banners project, the Metropolitan Opera has commissioned Anna Weyant to create a painting to celebrate the staging of Giuseppe Verdi’s Italian opera La Forza del Destino. The work will be reproduced in the form of a sixty-foot banner installed on the façade of Lincoln Center in New York during the production. Weyant’s painting, which shares the same name as the opera, portrays Leonora, the tortured principal character, with closed eyes, bright red lips, and a single visible pearl earring. The words “Forza” and Destino” are rendered in a vintage font with a scarlet hue and bloody “dripping” effect, evoking posters for classic Italian-made horror movies of the 1950s and ’60s.

Sitting Pretty and Sing It Like You Mean It (both 2016) by Derrick Adams are on view on the High Line’s Moynihan Connector Billboard at its location on Dyer Avenue between 30th and 31st Streets in New York. The double-sided billboard features Adams’s two commanding depictions of Black people, whose warm self-assurance is broadcast to the park visitors and passersby below. The figures on each side are set against the Technicolor backdrop of a television test card, suggesting the partial reset of conventions within popular culture that took place as Black culture gained greater representation in the latter part of the twentieth century. A public park built on a once-abandoned elevated rail line in Manhattan, the High Line is also a nonprofit organization that works with communities and reimagines public spaces to create connected, healthy neighborhoods and cities.
