KERSTIN BRÄTSCH in conversation with MASSIMILIANO GIONI Artist Kerstin Brätsch will discuss the diversity of her practice—from her large abstract paintings to the installations made in collaboration with artist Adele Röder under the name DAS INSTITUT—with Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions at the New Museum, Artistic Director at the Nicola Trussardi Foundation, and recently named Artistic Director of the upcoming Venice Biennale. Brätsch gained widespread attention in the 2009 New Museum triennial Younger than Jesus, co-curated by Gioni, and she is currently working towards her highly-anticipated first solo exhibition in New York, which opens in September 2012 at Gavin Brown’s enterprise.
