David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to announce Firsthand: Shahryar Nashat, an online exhibition featuring a conversation between Shahryar Nashat and Los Angeles-based artist and writer Juliana Halpert. Together, Nashat and Halpert discuss his recent projects as they reflect on a new body of work made specifically for this occasion, as well as THEY COME TO TOUCH, Nashat’s spring 2021 pop-up exhibition in West Hollywood, California./// The animalistic foundations of human experience; the differences between making and engaging with sculpture and moving image work; and the complex, even fraught, relationships between artists and their materials are just a few of the themes addressed in this wide-ranging presentation. Firsthand: Shahryar Nashat coincides with the launch of a major new monograph on the artist, published by the Swiss Institute, New York, and Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland.
