Join us today in watching a special recorded conversation with artists Josephine Halvorson (@halvorsonstudio) and Bing Wright and art historian Nancy Princenthal on the occasion of Singing in Unison, Part 16: Josephine Halvorson and Bing Wright at Leo Koenig Inc. (@leokoeniginc).
Halvorson and Wright will discuss their masterful control of their material—from paint pigments on canvas (capturing dim interiors through dark windows) to metallic silver particles on photographic paper (revealing glimpses of things by sunlight in its variants) in their respective making; the affinity they both share in each other’s work, which primarily concerns the transformation of common subjects and materials into extraordinary substances; and how what may appear as exterior banality can well be conceived by interior intensity, elevating subjective experience to a sense of deep solitude, whether in an urban environment or in nature.
The recording of their conversation is now live on our events page, as well as on our YouTube channel archive, both of which are linked in our bio 🔗

Curators Lisa Phillips and Thalia Stefaniuk join curator Anthony Huberman (@anthonyhhhhhhh) on Thursday (11/12) for a conversation on the occasion of The Bowery: Devil's Mile at the New Museum, New York (@newmuseum).
The group will discuss this first exhibition to trace the rich history and culture of New York’s oldest thoroughfare; bringing together artworks and artifacts that explore the Bowery as a street, a neighborhood, and a state of mind; and how the exhibition underscores the Bowery as a site of ongoing experimentation and perpetual reinvention: the haunt of gangs, performers, entrepreneurs, and artists, and a host of remarkable characters from Peter Stuyvesant, PT Barnum, and Jacob Riis to William Burroughs, Eva Hesse, and Keith Haring.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
“A member of the Navajo-Diné nation, Schultz learned traditional weaving from her mother and grandmother...and, in turn, Schultz’s niece has learned from her,” Amanda Gluibizzi (@gluibizziak) writes in our ArtSeen section. “The exhibition Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz showcases textiles from each member of the family to demonstrate the ways that Marilou Schultz has positioned her practice within historical processes... and how she has used them as springboards to pursue new modes of what art historian Briony Fer has termed 'textile thinking.'”
You can read Gluibizzi's full review in our November issue linked in our bio. And you can see Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz on view at CCS Bard and the Hessel Museum of Art (@ccsbard) through November 29th.

Susan Jane Walp’s works are worlds of quiet isolation amongst a community of objects, all interacting and yet still, so like the painter herself. For our November issue, Walp spoke with Dian Parker (@dian_parker_writer) about working on her still lifes during the day from natural light, living in rural Vermont, and how meditation is part of her practice as a painter.
“One of the things about still life painting is that it’s very close to meditation,” Walp tells Parker. “A meditation practice involves setting up a situation where you are eliminating distractions. The whole process of quieting the mind is supported by the environment in which you’re doing the meditation, and working from still life is a lot like that.”
You can read this full Feature conversation in our November issue linked in our bio. And you can see Walp’s exhibition at Tibor de Nagy Gallery (@tibordenagy) on view through December 5th.

Arthur Jafa’s retrospective at the New Museum, I Am Tony, spans nearly forty years, with works ranging from early photographic notebooks to installations made in 2026. The exhibition includes many of the artist’s videos, alongside photographs, silkscreen paintings, monumental readymades, wall murals, and immersive sound-image environments.
“As Jafa suggests, American history remains structured by brutality and broken promises, yet its images and sounds also preserve histories of creativity, resilience, and resistance,” Matthew Biro (@mbiro) writes in our ArtSeen section. “Through appropriation and montage, he brings these contradictory histories into new relationships, revealing how racial and other identities are continually constructed, contested, and transformed over time.”

Curator Jessamine Batario (@drjbatario) and artists Thea Canlas (@theacanlas.art), Isa Gagarin (@isa_gagarin), Mariana Ramos Ortiz (@la.habichuela), and Juana Valdés (@jvaldesart) join Rail contributor CJ Salapare (@cj.salapare) on Tuesday (11/10) for a conversation on the occasion of Imagining an Archipelago: Art from Cuba, Guam, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Their Diasporas at the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville (@colbymuseum).
The group will discuss the physically and visually immersive exhibition which brings together paintings, sculptures, videos, prints, photographs, and multimedia installations that explore artists’ relationships to the histories and communities of their lands and seas; the themes of cultural and political self-determination, indigeneity and migration, and climate crisis and resilience that unite the works; how at its heart, Imagining an Archipelago provides a platform for solidarity and connection among artists and island communities, both at home and in diaspora, in poignant, healing, and joyful ways, and more.

We're thrilled to announce that artist Tschabalala Self (@tschabalalaself) will join artist Derek Fordjour on Monday, November 16th, for our next in person New Social Environment conversation at the Rail's office in Industry City (@industrycity)!
Self will discuss bringing together her new paintings and first sculptural works in concrete in her exhibition at Petzel (@petzelgallery), Tools of Worship; how Tools of Worship develops her sustained investigation of the human figure, considering the body as both an object and a site of exchange through which meaning, desire, memory, and belief circulate; and why the exhibition ultimately proposes that both art and the human body are conduits of reverence and projection, through which transformation becomes visible and inevitable.
The Rail's office is located at 253 36th Street, 3rd Floor, Suite C304, in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Doors will open at 6 pm for the 6:30 pm conversation. You can RSVP to attend on our events page linked in our bio. We're looking forward to seeing you then!

Curators Kevin Salatino (@kmsalatino), Mel Becker Solomon (@melbeep), Charlotte Healy, and Margaret Holben Ellis join scholar and Rail contributor Pepe Karmel on Monday (11/9) for a conversation on Willem de Kooning Drawing which was on view at the Art Institute of Chicago (@artinstitutechi) through September 20th.
The group will discuss this first exhibition to examine de Kooning’s expansive drawing practice, how the works in the exhibition reveal how the act of drawing was foundational to de Kooning’s entire artistic process and production—his paintings, sculptures, and printmaking, as well as his drawings, and how they showcase the totality of his graphic production, from his earliest existing works to his late calligraphic paintings. The program will conclude with a reading by curator Elisabeth Sussman.
You can register for this conversation on our events page linked in our bio. We’ll see you on Monday in the Zoom at 1 pm Eastern!

Voices in the Mirror at Jack Shainman Gallery revisits images by Gordon Parks through the reflections of the people and families he photographed. For the very first time, the families of Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, among others, have reflected on the photographs Parks made and their enduring power. The exhibition also looks deeply at the collaborative relationship between Parks, his subjects and their families as he documented the struggle for equality alongside the perseverance of Black excellence.
“Kathleen Cleaver, a prominent activist and Black Panther, says of Parks’s famous 1970 portrait of her and her then-husband Eldridge Cleaver in Algiers that Parks knew how to ‘isolate what’s important,’” Natalie Prizel (@nprizel) writes in our ArtSeen section. “Such isolation is the fundamental art of photography—the visualization of a frame that isolates the subject from the surrounding pictorial noise. Parks composes elegance; he frames it; he guides the eye to make that elegance not only apparent, but so overpowering that it cannot but be seen, appreciated, respected, even hero-worshipped.”
You can read Prizel's full review in our November issue linked in our bio. And you can see Voices in the Mirror on view at Jack Shainman Gallery, Tribeca (@jackshainman) through November 6th.
