Painters on Painting:

In Conversation: Amy Sherald, Ekow Eshun and Jenni Sorkin
London
In celebration of Amy Sherald’s first solo show in Europe, curator Ekow Eshun and art historian Jenni Sorkin join Sherald at Hauser & Wirth London to discuss the artist’s practice and the relevance of her work within the canon of historical portraiture. Featuring a series of small-scale and monumental portraits across both the gallery’s London spaces, this presentation is the artist’s largest to date with the gallery. Sherald is acclaimed for her paintings of Black Americans at leisure that have become landmarks in the grand tradition of social portraiture—a tradition that for too long excluded the Black men, women, families, and artists whose lives have been inextricable from public and politicised narratives.
In Conversation: Lorna Simpson, Thelma Golden, and Zora Simpson Casebere
New York, 69th Street
On the occasion of ‘Lorna Simpson. 1985 – 92,’ the artist joins Thelma Golden, Chief Curator and Director of The Studio Museum, and Zora Simpson Casebere in conversation at our New York, 69th Street gallery. Please enjoy the opportunity to hear from a personal perspective about the works on view in a conversation largely centered around work that Zora Simpson Casebere, Lorna Simpson’s daughter, has grown up knowing, but in many cases never seen in person.
In Conversation: Christina Quarles with Ismail Muhammad and Simon Wu
On the occasion of ‘Christina Quarles. In 24 Days tha Sun’ll Set at 7pm,’ the artist’s first major solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, we joined the artist for a conversation between The New York Times story editor, Ismail Muhammad and writer and curator Simon Wu.
In Conversation: Nicolas Party and Aaina Bhargava
Hong Kong
On the occasion of his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, artist Nicolas Party is in conversation with art and culture journalist Aaina Bhargava to discuss his exploration into the complex and ever-changing relationship between man and nature, ‘sampling’ in the context of the confluence of sources he draws from, and the evolution of his distinctive aesthetic.
