Dealers get creative pairing artists at Duet—just don’t call it an art fair

Duet, a pop-up exhibition conceived by curators Zoe Lukov and Kyle DeWoody, debuts in Manhattan’s Financial District with 11 galleries and a group show running until 8 September. Housed in the WSA building, each gallery occupies a glass-walled meeting room and pairs two artists around a thematic connection—such as Pace showing Nina Katchadourian with Matthew Day Jackson, or Galerie Sardine pairing Jenna Kaës with Anthony Banks. A group exhibition features works by Marina Abramović, Lynda Benglis, Maya Lin, Radcliffe Bailey, Karon Davis, Miles Greenberg, Carlos Motta, Sam Moyer, Brendan Fernandes, and Naama Tsabar, with performances by Fernandes and Tsabar.
