It was a little strange getting together with Shala Miller in the same space we’d met in less than a year ago. It was Farah Al Qasimi’s opening at Helena Anrather’s gallery, and the room was packed. This time, we were in the same space, but it was filled with Shala’s things instead - stuff for her to work on and during residency she was doing at the gallery. The room had different workstations tha...

While preparing to interview Moyra Davey, I started to really try and figure out what it is that I love so much about her work. Is it that she is able to deal with the most mundane, everyday subject matter in such a personal, unpretentious, electrifying, simple and complex way? Is it her subject matter that’s so appealing? Artists that she’s interested in, diaries, ephemera, hang-ups, let downs, p...

I have an interesting relationship to Mike Marcelle’s work. On the one hand, I totally get it, but on the other, i so don’t relate to where it comes from. I get the seeing, I feel the strength of the pictures, but his reference points feel so different than mine in a way. Like, for example, the new Suspiria would probably NOT come up in every conversation of mine, and with him, welll…..  Proc...

In 2006, she started the blog Unchanging Window, which became...

Just before the world went into Covid-19 lockdown, I got together with Drew Sawyer at his apartment in the Bedstuy. He’s the photo Curator at the Brooklyn Museum, and among the numerous exhibitions he’s worked on in his current and previous posts at MoMa and the Columbus Museum of Art, he recently gave the Russian Ghanian photographer Liz Johnson Artur her first solo...

On the chair next to me sat a worn out copy of Toni Morrisson’s Beloved , a favorite which Elliott Jerome Brown Jr. told me he’s read at least three times. We were sitting at the kitchen table in the apartment which he’s been living at in Flushing, Queens, on the upstairs floor of a yellow and burgundy house museum dedicated to the work of Louis Ladimer. Ladimer was the inventor of the carbon...
