John Gerrard; Jasper Sharp Events A Conversation With John Gerrard & Jasper Sharp Wednesday, May 1312 PM EDTInstagram Live This week, our Instagram Live conversation series brings together Pace artist John Gerrard and Jasper Sharp, Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.Focusing upon a particular body of Gerrard’s work that employs and sculpts the temporary medium of smoke, the two will discuss how the current situation has caused Gerrard to adapt within his studio practice, how it's feeding into the content of his work, and how we might all emerge - changed and/or retooled - back into the world post-lockdown.

In the contemporary world, simulations are no longer just secondhand copies, but are increasingly both engine and autopilot of leisure, economy, politics and warfare. Gerrard’s work offers us portraits of this world through the prism of its own technological medium: using the very software that enables the operations of entertainment, industry and warfare.Learn MoreJasper SharpJasper Sharp is the Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, for whom he has curated recent exhibitions of artists including Lucian Freud, Joseph Cornell, Susan Philipsz, Mark Rothko and Kathleen Ryan.
