David Zwirner is pleased to present Studio Conversations, an exhibition curated by Anaël Pigeat, curator and art critic, structured as a series of dialogues between artists who are representative of the current Parisian art scene and those who have inspired them from the beginning of their career: Jean Claracq (b. 1991) with Marcel Dzama (b. 1974), Nino Kapanadze (b. 1990) with Mamma Andersson (b. 1962), and Christine Safa (b. 1994) with Suzan Frecon (b.1941). Admiration, appropriation, inspiration ... What does it mean for one artist to look at another’s work? Admiration, appropriation, inspiration... How does an artist view another’s work? What dialogues and playful interactions can emerge between them? The encounters that took place between these painters, from conversation to collaboration, gave rise to exchanges and reflections, friction to resonance.
