Friends of Artists Space Dinner 2026

Artists Space is thrilled to announce the details of our forthcoming Friends of Artists Space Dinner, which will be held on April 20th at the historic Hall of Records.

Wade Guyton emerged in the mid-2000s with a landmark series of abstract paintings composed of simple forms and letters printed on canvas, early indications of the rising entanglement of art and technology, a reality that he continues to interrogate. Guyton is also the steward of the David Armstrong Estate, a role requiring great care and acumen that he shares with James Haslam and Lisa Love. Armstrong’s first posthumous survey will be on view at Artists Space from March 13 - May 23. Guyton lives and works in New York. His work has been the subject of numerous one-person museum exhibitions including the Museum Ludwig in Cologne (2019), the Serpentine Gallery in London (2017), Le Consortium in Dijon (2016), Kunsthalle Zürich (2013), and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (2012).

Cameron Rowland is an artist making visible the institutions, systems, and policies that perpetuate systemic racism and economic inequality. Rowland’s research-intensive work centers around the display of objects and documents whose provenance and operations expose the legacies of racial capitalism and underscore the forms of exploitation that permeate many aspects of our daily lives. Rowland’s first institutional solo exhibition 91020000, was held at Artists Space in 2016.
