Milano moments during miart & Paris Internationale. Few nice booths, great inaugural edition of PI, intriguing emerging gallery shows and some institutional excellence (not everything is pictured) 💖

A day of unlearning at the studio SPRING2026

Here are three excellent institutional solo exhibitions on right now in Europe that I highly recommend to see. All have a broad curation of works from different periods of the artists career that are not often on view in the same room. Isa Genzken: World Receiver Curated by @marianne.torp and Magnus Thorø Clausen & Sif Lindblad Until 5th April Den Frie, Copenhagen @denfrie.cph Klara Lidén: Kunstwerke Curated by @emenderby Until 10th May KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart Richard Hawkins: Potentialities Until 6th April Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna @kunsthallewien Ps. With whom can we present shows with these artists in Paris?? Pps. Need to have more of Hawkins’ house sculptures! 💋

Last couture week highlight, co-hosting @paloceras dinner with @djibrilcisse1981 to celebrate their new collaboration with friends from Paris family at @hotelcostes 🧡 Portrait by @noorsud 🏮🏮

Loved curating SLG #001, the inaugural edition of Salomon Listening Grounds in Paris. The evening unfolded in three acts, composed as an arc of increasing density:
Makoto Oshiro, Sunkyu Lee, and C.C.C aka Nick Klein, Adam Campbell, and Diego Behncke. From the intimacy of Makoto Oshiro’s acoustic resonance, to the mediated temporality of Sunkyu Lee’s audio-focused short film, and finally to the very totalizing presence of C.C.C’s live noise where the room became an instrument and listening turned collective, physical, bordering architectural. The program was conceived as accumulation: a gradual thickening of sound, space, and shared awareness. I wanted the short intermissions function as structural hinges, marking transitions and recalibrating the audience within each new condition of perception. Hit us up for the recordings. With:

Work in progress notes from the studio :)

New Year Energy Field

This is exactly what I want to see more of 💜 Dakota by Nick Sethi is an artist space and curatorial project on the Bowery in NYC, located in his apartment. It functions simultaneously as Nick’s studio and as an exhibition space: hosting shows, events, and conversations with a generous approach to community. Dakota’s spirit is a beautiful example of what the “new wave” of art spaces can, could, and should be. I visited earlier this fall during DECADE, a carefully curated presentation of works by Josh Smith drawn from his personal archive spanning 2001–2011. The exhibition was installed by Josh and Nick throughout the apartment, using domestic features as hanging structures and including works made directly on the walls. Equally important was the presence of a broad archive of books, available to browse, and some to acquire, extending the experience. Follow @d_a_k_0_t_a_ to see what’s the next project and go meet Nick and spend a moment with him and with other guests in the room talking about the show and everything else that unfolds from there! @sicknethi @joshiejosho

Very important uncle responsibility 💖 Photos @avinviviana
