Good afternoon dear all, this is my viewing/listening recommendation for the day: Join us in watching this special recorded conversation with extraordinary artists Josephine Halvorson (@halvorsonstudio) and Bing Wright and legendary art historian Nancy Princenthal on the occasion of Singing in Unison, Part 16: Josephine Halvorson and Bing Wright at Leo Koenig Inc. (@leokoeniginc).
Josephine and Bing 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.
NSE forever!

Ciao tutti, this is my reading recommendation for the day:
Painter extraordinaire 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, Susan spoke with our beloved contributing writer 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,” Susan tells Dian. “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 Susan’s exhibition at Tibor de Nagy Gallery (@tibordenagy) on view through December 5th.
Susan Jan Walp forever!

Hola tutti, we’re thrilled to announce that our two friends phenomenal artists Tschabalala Self (@tschabalalaself) and Derek Fordjour will be in conversation next Monday, November 16th, for our next in person New Social Environment conversation at the Rail’s office in Industry City (@industrycity)!
Tsaba 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!

Art-in-Transit: Here is a short segment I took of the beginning of the opening reception last night (11/6) of our friend the visionary artist Loren Munk’s exhibition Time & Place at Ruttkowski;68 (@ruttkowski68) for your viewing pleasure.
This is Loren’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. As a chronicler of the forever changing New York City’s art history, this new body of work continue to record various movements, legendary works of art made by legendary artists alongside forgotten names, locations of studios, galleries, bars, and neighborhoods, wherever artists gather, argue, borrow ideas, and shape each other’s work. Loren’s diagrammatic paintings are dense, obsessive, at times overwhelming, and alive with the conviction that art history is attributable to many more people than the history books typically acknowledge.
I highly recommend y’all to see this must-see exhibition as it remains on view till December 17th.
Loren Munk forever!

The Beauty of Friends Being Together: I took this brief video and a photo for the memory of ArtSeen/Art Book Section contributor Marcus Civin (@marcuscivinwriting), Rail production editors Keira Seyd (left), legendary artist Lonnie Holly (@lonnieholleysuniverse), Jackson Pacheco standing in front of Rail Headquarters in Greenpoint just yesterday Thursday (11/7).
Lonnie and our visionary friend Matt Arnet (@groceryonhome) came for the epic interview between Marcus and Lonnie, which will be featured on the winter print issue about his most recent exhibition Lonnie Holley: How We Got Over, which remains on view at the amazing Art Yard Center (@artyardcenter) till Jan 24, 2027).
How We Got Over includes new works developed during a summer residency at ArtYard, nestled in the Delaware River Valley north of where the Declaration of Independence was signed, alongside selections spanning his remarkable career. This is a must-see occasion as Lonnie’s artistic practice that continually gathers memory, experience, and imagination into new forms will ensure yet another compelling and enduring experience.
Lonnie Holly forever!

In Memoriam of Ursula von Rydingsvard (1942–2026): We, at the Rail, were sadden by the loss of our friend and mentor, the great artist Ursula von Rydingsvard. As Rail Publisher Phong H. Bui (@phong.h.bui) wrote in the postscript of his November editorial, “Ursula’s hands, monumental sculpture has never been made with such palpable affinity and intimacy. At times, it evokes the largest religious monument in the world, namely Angkor Wat, other times, it humbly and generously fulfills its nurturing function as a wooden ladle.”
Here are a few photos of Ursula surrounding with her friends, fellow artists, including Phong and Ursula at their beloved friend Joan Jonas’s inspiring retrospective Good Night Good Morning at MoMA in 2024, Gret Sterrett Smith (@gretsterrett), Peter Acheson (@acheson.peter), David Levi Strauss, Cal McKeever (@calmckeever), Susan Harris (@susanalison), Aggie Gund, Craig Starr (@craigstarrgallery), Shoja Azari, Shirin Neshat (@shirin__neshat), Sydie Lansing, Katherine Bradford (@kathebradford), Sarah Sze (@sarahszestudio), Joan Jonas (@broadcove), Teresita Fernandez (@teresita.fernandez), and Haley Bloomquist (@hayley.blomquist).
We send our deepest condolences to Ursula’s siblings Christine Brooks and Stash Karoliszyn, and son-in-law Ray Greeve, and other family members, friends, and admirers here in the U.S. and across the world. We’ll be working on a Rail tribute to Ursula on her contribution to our art community in the near future.
In solidarity with love, admiration, and cosmic optimism as ever, the Rail 🕊❤

Good afternoon dear all, this is my reading recommendation: Visionary artist Bosco Sodi’s (@studioboscosodi) work is grounded in experiment, observation, and accident. Utilizing organic materials whose reactions cannot be fully anticipated, he allows unforeseen events—a shift in color, a crack across a surface, or an unexpected reaction between materials—to open new directions in the work.
For our November issue, Bosco spoke with ArtSeen brilliant contributor Ginevra de Blasio (@ginevradeblasio) about his new exhibition— Verdigris—which grows from this approach, returning to oxidation after encountering Andy Warhol’s “Oxidation Paintings,” developing a body of work centered on the green-blue patina that forms as copper reacts with its environment, and more.
“For me, painting is a kind of therapy, I need that practice for myself,” Bosco tells Ginevra. “When things become predictable, I get bored, and I stop enjoying the process. For me, the whole thing is the process.”
You can read this full Feature conversation in our November issue linked in our bio. And join us tonight (11/4) from 6-8 pm for our November issue launch celebration at Olney Gleason (@olneygleason), on the occasion of Verdigris which will be on view through December 19th.
Bosco Soldi forever!

Good morning dear all, please join me to welcome our new friend curator extraordinaire Wells Fray-Smith (@wellsfs) and phenomenal artist Matt Connors (@cattmonnors) and Rail beloved Editor-at-Large Mark Hudson (@themarkhudson) today Thursday (11/5) for a conversation on the occasion of Robert Ryman: The Real Thing at the Barbican Centre, London (@barbicancentre).
The group will discuss the over sixty works of Ryman’s made from the mid-1950s to the early 2010s that are presented in the exhibition, why Ryman believed that the best way to experience a painting is in person, how his paintings—which mostly use white paint and a square format—reward close looking, and why he wanted a viewer to notice everything: the texture of the paint, the brushstrokes, the material being painted on, how it’s displayed on the wall.
You can register for this conversation on our events page linked in our bio. And you can see Robert Ryman: The Real Thing on view through February 28th 2027.
