New York exhibition places brutality of Leon Golub's paintings in dialogue with contemporary artists

'I was thinking of these in-between spaces...This kind of waiting and pause you see in Golub’s work. Its brutality draws a certain audience, but there can and should be opportunities to bring people into that space and be challenged by tough themes. I think these works can begin that process.'

The Roth Bar Is Transforming the Gallery Experience at Hauser & Wirth Somerset

‘It’s supposed to prime your senses for what is going to come next, and I hope it will affect people in that way. Too many people go through life without looking up or looking around. If you don’t look up, then you wouldn’t know the stars were there, you know?’

Critic's Pick: Winfred Rembert

‘Despite its focus on exploitation and adversity, the exhibition has a remarkably cathartic effect. Perhaps this is because, to a certain extent, the show’s meta-narrative is Rembert’s transcendence of the pictured 'hard times' through love.’

Hauser & Wirth’s Beautiful Italian Summer

'Right now, among the many must-see art exhibitions in Europe this summer, there are several shows in Italy of works by artists on Hauser & Wirth’s roster...think Louise Bourgeois’ works mounted in Europe’s first orphanage (designed by Brunelleschi) or Sonia Boyce pieces interacting with Italian folk songs in a medieval palace.'
