“Queer stories are not only erased by lack of media coverage. Queer erasure happens a second round in the advent of digital technology, and our expectations that all histories are digitised”
“We also had an important, timely, and gratifying exhibition ready to show,” they said of Sean Fader’s exhibition about social media’s impact on queer solidarity and undocumented hate murders of LGBTQI+ individuals across the U.S.

One of our favorite advisory firms featured us on their blog with an interview about survival in 2020.
Even before the pandemic struck, the dystopian visions and reimagined histories presented in Hong Kong – Tales of the City felt extremely relevant and timely. Media works from nine artists belonging to Hong Kong’s oldest video collective address a range of vital issues, from civic engagement to the impact of globalisation on contemporary urban life. The collaboration between Videotage and Denny Dimin Gallery opened in New York just as the city headed into lockdown.
Cultured Magazine invited Justine Hill to shoot a virtual studio visit of her new studio to preview work for her upcoming exhibition at Denny Dimin Gallery in New York this fall.

The features of Dallas’s digital infrastructure received high marks from other dealers. Rob Dimin of New York’s Denny Dimin Gallery commended the organizers for doing “a really fantastic job in creating the virtual fair space… with enough room for extra content to contextualize the artists.”
When the gallery launched a virtual exhibition space, it began posting essays and videos to accompany the artworks. Interested collectors are no longer browsing a catalog of objects with price tags, but learning stories about people and what they make.
We may be living in an age of social isolation, but art lovers can still get their hit this month with these Hong Kong exhibitions
Galleries and museums are getting creative about presenting work online during the coronavirus crisis. Here are some shows worth viewing virtually.
Next week was supposed to be a big one for artist Kennedy Yanko, as she was supposed to present new work at the Dallas Art Fair by way of New York’s Denny Dimin Gallery. Then the fair, like so many other art events happening around the world, got postponed indefinitely. (It is now scheduled for the beginning of October.)
Fallah creates work with stupefying subtext
The 40-year-old artist paints idiosyncratic portraits that unfurl infinite narratives to his audience. Ask him, and he explains that his detail-rich, colour-drenched paintings are a new kind of portrait, one that shows a person without physicality at all. More often than not, these portraits – usually created in close collaboration with his subjects – forego face and skin tone, and instead allow a Garfield plushy or goblet drum to tell the tale.

“Nothing feels as good as scouring a yard, spotting a piece that calls to you, digging for its entirety, and revealing its full glory,” says Brooklyn-based sculptor Kennedy Yanko. She is speaking of her trips to salvage yards in search of discarded metals she will later repurpose for her sculpture practice. “It’s a full day or multiday activity, scavenging. But again, it’s an integral thrill and informs everything that follows.” The fruit from some of these treasure hunts will be on view in a solo show with Denny Dimin Gallery at the Dallas Art Fair in October.

Dana Sherwood, Olafur Eliasson, and other artists share some of their favorite recipes.
As much of the world hunkers down, practicing social distancing and sheltering in place, everyday life is shifting dramatically. And for artists, like the rest of us, that means preparing for an extended stay at home by stocking up their larders.
In search of a little culinary inspiration, we turned to artists who have worked with food in their practices, either as a material or subject matter, to ask them what they’re cooking during these unprecedented times.
People who are comfortable buying pricey cars or jewelry often don’t carry the same level of confidence when they step into an art gallery.
“Why?” asks Mike Steib, the CEO of Artsy. His answer: “The industry is opaque, it isn’t accessible, and there’s high transaction friction. So [wealthy people], despite their means, come to believe that it must not be a world that’s available to them.”
How Can We Think of Art at a Time Like This? is an online exhibition, co- curated by Barbara Pollack and Anne Verhallen as a platform for the exchange of ideas at this time of crisis. We invited artists who are considered thought leaders; artists who struggle with futuristic pessimism, political outrage and psychic melt-downs.
