the sublime begins to reveal itself. 07.15.26









🍾 ANOUNCEMENT 🥂 I’m incredibly proud to share that William Mapan’s Sketchbook A #64 has been acquired by the @v_and_A museum, and that Sketchbook A #55, Sketchbook B #60, Études #336, #337 and #360 have been collected by @arabbankCH. Both series were released via @solos_gallery. For those unfamiliar, SOLOS is a gallery specialising in releasing curated projects on Verse. Alongside our online programme, we’ve curated IRL exhibitions, produced short films, participated in art fairs, and published monographs. We’ve also commissioned curators from institutions including the V&A, Whitechapel, Serpentine, ZKM and The Photographers’ Gallery to write about our artists and their work. We’ll continue to work with artists whose practices we believe in and whose work we feel deserves a place in the history of contemporary art. The biggest thank you to our collectors and artists. Your belief in us and what we’re building is what makes all of this possible. And of course, a very special thank you to @williammapan for trusting us with two extraordinary series. It’s been a privilege, and something we’re incredibly proud to have shared. ❤️ Sketchbook A #64 Victoria and Albert Museum, London

it's no secret galleries struggle with footfall, the concept of a white gallery is no longer attractive nor exciting. why would i want to go to a gallery where, if you're lucky, you get one hello and goodbye when you walk in and out? people want to talk, interact, meet - that's why "hybrid spaces" are becoming more and more common right now. - a coffee place and yoga studio - a book shop and a theatre - a gallery and a wine bar? and the list goes on. people seek connection more than ever. make galleries fun again (: (photo taken from an instagram post of the art market review) link below
