Join 1014 in collaboration with Friedrichs Pontone, for "Between Fasting and Indulgence: An Art Brunch", part of our new series Anatomy of an Artwork, offering a fresh way to experience contemporary art.
Start your weekend with a relaxed, artful morning in Tribeca as we explore The Fight Between Carnival and Lent, the latest exhibition curated by Max Lust at Friedrichs Pontone.
Spend 15 minutes with gallery founder Martin Friedrichs as he shares the story, inspiration, and meaning behind one select piece - giving you a fresh way to see and understand the overall exhibition. Then stick around to see the rest, enjoy some coffee, bubbly, bites, and great conversations. It’s a laid-back way to discover new perspectives and get to know the vibrant young art scene.
Come curious. Leave inspired.
