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.
