Matthew Brown More Than Doubles Los Angeles Space

Matthew Brown More Than Doubles Los Angeles Space

Published by José Betancourt

Dealer Matthew Brown is more than doubling his Los Angeles footprint with a move to a former warehouse at 1145 Seward Street in the Hollywood Media District. It’s just a mile or so from the two Hollywood spaces he has occupied since opening in 2019, at 712 N La Brea Avenue, but the design is worlds apart, he said in a phone conversation. “It’s night and day,” said Brown. “It’s the details, it’s the lighting, it’s the placement of the skylights, the way offices are built out, the way the viewing rooms are built out. When we built the first gallery, I just didn’t have the experience I have now.”  Related Articles The new facility is in the same neighborhood with a number of galleries, including Jeffrey Deitch, Karma, Lisson, Nonaka Hill, and Regen Projects. Brown went with a builder he has worked with before, tapping architect Markus Dochantschi of StudioMDA, who designed Brown’s New York gallery, at 390 Broadway in Tribeca. Brown’s gallery will be the first in Los Angeles for the architect, who …

Prominent Israeli Artist Doron Langberg Addresses ‘Atrocities’ in Gaza

Published by Jenni Sidey

On Friday, Doron Langberg, one of the most successful and well-known Israeli artists working today, will open his first New York exhibition in seven years at Jeffrey Deitch’s Tribeca gallery. For the occasion, Langberg has so far opted to give a single interview—to the New York Times—and to publish an accompanying 750-word text on Deitch’s website addressing how his new body of work reflects the Israel-Palestine conflict. Langberg has not spoken extensively about the issue in the past. The body of work for which he is best known consists of portraits and domestic scenes that explore queer life, gender, and sexuality. He has cited David Hockney, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Mickalene Thomas as influences; in a 2019 Jewish Currents feature, Langberg and several other LGBTQIA+ painters, including Louis Fratino and Salman Toor, were described as part of a movement dubbed “New Queer Intimism.” Related Articles A graduate of Yale University’s prestigious art school, Langberg has been featured in exhibitions at the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York and the Schwules Museum in Berlin, had a piece …

Jeffrey Deitch Apologizes to Miles Greenberg for Rapper’s ‘Derivative’

Jeffrey Deitch Apologizes to Miles Greenberg for Rapper’s ‘Derivative’

Published by José Betancourt

New York’s Jeffrey Deitch apologized to artist Miles Greenberg after an ascendant rapper staged an event at the gallery that appeared to draw upon a performance done in the same location in 2021. The musician, Lexa Gates, promoted her new album by walking for hours inside a giant wheel at Jeffrey Deitch on January 14. Titled The Wheel, Gates’s performance was meant to “reinforce the message of persistence, emotional resilience and forward motion that acts as the central theme of the record,” according to the event’s official description. Her related album, I Am, has received coverage from such outlets as Pitchfork, which gave it a score of 5.5 out of 10. Related Articles On a post by Gates promoting the event, Greenberg noted that The Wheel seemed akin to his own performance Oysterknife, for which the artist walked for nearly an entire day straight on a conveyor belt while a digital clock marked time. When Oysterknife debuted at the Marina Abramović Institute in 2020, the performance was briefly halted when Greenberg lost consciousness. The next …
