Straight to the New Museum to hear Massimiliano Gioni, Jeff Koons, Jamian Juliano-Villani, and Jeffrey Deitch discuss Deitch’s remarkable Post Human exhibitions—first in 1992 and then in 2024—reflecting on how bodies continue to merge with and diverge from technology
It was incredible to listen to four deeply thoughtful voices in conversation. Jeffrey felt like a true visionary of our time
Jeff in full theatrical mode, enjoying and playing to his audience, making ideas feel almost tangible
Jamian is one of the most honest and sincere artists and people I know. Her thoughts were crystal clear and direct
Massimiliano acted as compère, asking the most interesting questions. Who could ask for more?
It was lovely to view the work of Berenice Olmedo, whose anthropomorphic forms engage with disability culture, challenging understandings of the human body by revealing the limitations of movement and exploring the paradoxes of rehabilitation

Annika Yi’s 'In Love with the World' (2021) was a showstopper, filled with helium, electronics, and a positioning system and thermal camera that allowed it to navigate its surroundings. The work drifted through the gallery at its own pace, avoiding any solid objects, encouraging viewers to look upwards towards the ceiling and adopt an unusual perspective that echoed the biology of jellyfish. The flying, floating sculptures are described by Annika as “aerobes.”
As we floated down the central staircase we came across ‘Cosmos’ by Emma Talbot where one of her silk curtain like paintings on silk depicting imagined worlds and futures for human transformation
On a beautiful early spring brisk walk I managed to visit the wonderful Island Park of Thomas Heatherwick
