“Forecast,” Gabriel Kuri’s current exhibition at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City, is his first institutional survey in the country where he grew up.

Into Cacophony: A Conversation with Michael Dean
Michael Dean’s work begins with words—his own writing, found phrases, nonsensical fragments, and repetitions—which he alters and twists into personalized typographies, then translates into forms in space. The sculptures that give flesh to his texts are as raw, streetwise, and mutable as the words themselves, rooted in his Newcastle-upon-Tyne upbringing and later years in London.

Beginnings and Endings: A Conversation with Emily Counts
Seattle-based Emily Counts takes a personal approach to sculpture, creating ceramic and mixed-media works based on memories that also leave ample space for interpretation.

Lived Experience: A Conversation with Keg de Souza
Keg de Souza’s multidisciplinary practice gravitates around issues of place, community, and spatial politics.
