The Gray Market Weekend Wrap #31

From lunar piano distortions to virtual pat-down diagrams

Welcome back to The Gray Market’s weekend wrap, where I compile a scintillating set of recommendations covering 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:

• An eye-opening museum show that crosses categories and galaxies

• A sneaky evolution in diversity initiatives inside and outside the cultural sphere

• A trio of articles covering a niche stock-market signal with special importance to the art economy, Hollywood’s dirtiest tech secret, and cold comfort for arts workers amid what could be a historic crisis in the job market

If any of that sounds interesting—or if you just want to support The Gray Market in its ongoing 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.

Lastly, please be aware that I may receive a tiny commission if you buy any books through the links in this email.
