In this Talk
Peter Freeman
Peter Freeman founded Peter Freeman, Inc. in New York in 1990. The gallery represents leading international artists and the estates of several generations, and has always presented historically significant works in conversation with contemporary artists. In 2006, Freeman partnered with Galerie Nelson to establish what would eventually become Peter Freeman, Inc., Paris in 2013. Freeman also publishes scholarly books, including a catalogue raisonné Robert Mangold: Early Works, the first US catalogue on Charlotte Posenenske, several catalogues on Medardo Rosso, and the first monograph of Catherine Murphy, among others.
Phyllis Tuchman
Critic and art historian Phyllis Tuchman teaches and writes about art, particularly sculpture. She has taught at Williams College, Hunter College, and the School of Visual Arts. She is an Editor-at-Large for the Brooklyn Rail.
The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we're fortunate to have Dao Strom reading.
Dao Strom
Artist Dao Strom works with three “voices”—written, sung, visual—to explore hybridity and the intersection of personal and collective histories. She is the author of Instrument (Fonograf Editions, 2020) and its musical companion Traveler’s Ode (Antiquated Future Records, 2020); a bilingual poetry-art book, You Will Always Be Someone From Somewhere Else (AJAR Press); a memoir, We Were Meant To Be a Gentle People, and song cycle, East/West; and two books of fiction, The Gentle Order of Girls and Boys and Grass Roof, Tin Roof. Born in Vietnam, Strom grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California and lives in Portland, Oregon. She is co-founder of two collective art projects, She Who Has No Master(s), and De-Canon.
We’d like to thank The Marion Boulton Kippy Stroud Foundation and Teiger Foundation for making these conversations possible, and for their support of our growing archive 🌈✨
