The Gray Market: Sunday Gray #47
From transhistorical courtship woes to executive-approved garden combat
Welcome back to The Gray Market’s weekend wrap, where I trot out a menagerie of recommendations spanning exhibitions, podcasts, articles and more, with thoughts on what makes each one matter to the current state of art and business.
In this weekend’s edition, you’ll find:
A killer (in more ways than one) conceptual exhibition on the ecology of human companionship
A contrarian argument against billionaire philanthropy
A trio of articles covering a generational reversal in wealth accumulation, a box-office bloodbath on Broadway, and an AI-versus-AI clash in the pop music business
If any of that sounds interesting—or if you just want to support The Gray Market’s ongoing one-man mission to explore where the art business is headed and why—you can subscribe or upgrade your membership using the button below. Paid subscribers will receive all future editions of the weekend wrap, access to the full Substack archive (free posts are paywalled after two months), and much more. And if you’re already a paid subscriber, thank you.
