Ruby Neri: A Cycle Around the Sun 

At the time of this interview with Ruby Neri, it was November 2024. Her solo show at David Kordansky in Los Angeles had just opened, a solo show was set to open at Massimodecarlo in London in January 2025, and her first solo institutional show, Deep Dive at the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, was in the final stages of preparation.

In a desire to revive and invigorate the rich magnificence of ancient Greek drama, opera summoned … Continue reading “Anastasia Bay: Homage to the Body Electric”

Morteza Khakshoor: Post-Picasso

Morteza Khakshoor is the definition of an artist’s artist. An ideal conversationalist, his practice is guided by the divine sensation a creator forever chases: where everything feels inexplicably right. He quotes Picasso in casual conversation; his admiration for history’s most mentioned artist is pure and true. However, the Cubism comparison often applied to Khakshoor’s work is a sliver of interpretation, and we’re going much deeper.
