It’s been a whirlwind few weeks, both in some positive and some hectic ways, but thankfully things are beginning to calm down. I always look forward to the certainty of putting this newsletter together, as the structure helps to hold things together and keeps me in touch with what’s happening even if I feel far away from goings-on sometimes.
One thing I’m thrilled to share is the special print issue of Dovetail—Young Space’s sibling project—is open for preorder!
I couldn’t be more excited to share Fields, the first printed issue of the magazine since 2020 and an ode to art and expression in—and drawn from—the Midwest. This issue delves into artistic influences and stories that extend around the world while illuminating experiences connecting us all.
In this issue it’s been a pleasure to include a new essay and photographs by Ellen Rutt; Aaron Coleman’s explorations of limitation and presence; an interview with London-based artist ethan caflisch; Ian Etter‘s conversation with multidisciplinary artist Kuldeep Singh; Dillon Bryant‘s navigation between Midwest and West; and symbols of freedom, love, and lucha libre by Araceli Zuniga.
I hope you’ll check it out. And if by any chance you’re in central-eastern Wisconsin on Friday, October 4, I’m co-hosting an open house from 4 to 8 p.m. at Standard Projects—home to Dovetail’s office and new gallery space for the Niche—in the Village of Hortonville. You can find more information about the event on the magazine’s website.
See you next week!

Featured artist: Guzzo Pinc
Five exhibitions to see in Berlin, Casavells, London, Los Angeles, and New York City
Thirteen opportunities for artists with deadlines coming up soon
Featured Artist:
Guzzo Pinc and I live in the same state and have been aware of one another’s work for several years, but we only just met IRL for the first time last autumn—very spontaneously—when we both happened to be hanging out in the Colorado Rockies for a few days. I’m a great admirer of his experimental approach to surfaces, pattern, and figuration.
Pinc’s latest body of work is a meditation on the themes of permeability and individuation. He says, “Through a focus on the human body I explore how one thing becomes another, how identity fluctuates in time.” His show Skins opens tomorrow and continues through October 7 at Plant 486 in Brooklyn.
