Meant to open in Munich in March, the show Declaration of Sentiments has finally opened overnight in Ghent, Belgium at Galerie Pont en Plas. Our local maker, Nevin Arig, kindly sent along some images of works and the opening. Gallerists Nicole Thienpont and Aline Vandeplas are carefully masked up and ready to welcome you. If…

This was a really fun one to make. The rack was an artifact of the capitalist system, made obsolete. I resented its presence on my street, yet I suppose I also felt sorry for it. And I sensed its opportunity. What can I say, I can’t hold myself out of this system. The logic for…

My lockdown has been… eventful. In the small mercies column, it’s lucky we couldn’t go on the holiday we had booked. My father-in-law passed away last weekend after falling ill 6 weeks prior (of non-virus related causes). Visitation has been severely restricted, but in a stroke of luck his partner of 25 years was by…
