Jean Dawson: An Interlude
Jean Dawson is typically in the studio every day from 7 p.m. through 7 a.m., so an 8 a.m. call time fell right in the middle of his REM sleep. “Waking up today kicked my ass, but it was great. I need that sometimes,” says Dawson, who finds humility in the mundane.Waking up early isn’t a foreign concept for a now 29-year-old Dawson. He split his time between San Diego and Mexico, having to wake up before sunrise to walk to the bus to the U.S. border, where he and his younger brother Jerome would then wait in line for hours to cross into the States, where they went to school. This was the protocol for four years up until Dawson was in middle school; he’s always valued sleeping in after that. He tells me it's a marker of success.It’s similar to why the musician values hot showers so much. He ...

The Slow Death of the Contemporary Art Gallery
The contemporary art gallery as we know it is dying. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, dedicated spaces that once buzzed with foot traffic and formal openings are now struggling with rising rents and changing expectations. The old model, where a gallery does everything for its artists, feels like it's falling apart.Big gallery chains, the ones built on endless art fairs, multiple cities and huge rosters of artists, are losing their grip. Last month, Tim Blum announced he would close his Blum & Poe galleries in L.A. and Tokyo and even stop plans for a new one in Tribeca. He was blunt about the reason: "This is not about the market. This is about the system," he told ARTnews, pointing out that collectors have more power than ever to negotiate. His decision echoes a wider feeling a...
