Please join curator Wendy Vogel for a conversation with artists Liv Schulman and Ignacio Gatica on the occasion of New Inflation on view in the main gallery.

Ignacio Gatica (b.1988) lives and works between Santiago, Chile and Brooklyn, NY. Gatica deploys drawing, installation, sculpture, video, and text to reveal unsuspected connections between signs and signifiers of economic and social structures. Gatica pays special attention to the languages of currency, finance, retail culture, and the global technologies and systems that shape our cities.

Liv Schulman is an artist, writer and filmmaker. Fascinated by television, the arrival of cable in 1990 and the financial crash of 2001 are among the most striking moments of her life. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’arts de Paris-Cergy, she’s been living in France and Buenos Aires intermittently since 2015. Liv Schulman’s work takes the form of filmed fictions, TV series, readings-performances and novel writing. The narratives at the core of her work deal with the role of subjectivity in the political space and the difficulty of giving it credit. In this way, a real telenovela is shown on television as if in a museum. In her approach, to create means directly experiencing an environment, a system, a subject.

Wendy Vogel is a writer and art critic based in New York. In 2018, she received an Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. She is a part-time associate teaching professor at Parsons School of Design.
