Join ARTLOG and GREY AREA for our Summer Art Pass Soho Party & Talk. Taste wine from VITIS.com, sample refreshments from Bai5 Antioxiant Infusions, and discuss the amazing career paths of three industry leaders: Karen Wong, Deputy Director of the New Museum; Sara Friedlander, VP in the Post-War and Contemporary Department at Christie’s; and Ben Davis, Executive Editor of Artinfo.com.
Karen Wong is the Deputy Director of the New Museum and co-founded the Festival of Ideas for New City. She founded Hobbamock Design, a Boston-based graphic design firm committed to non-profits and social causes. In the new millennium, she sold her firm, and moved to London to become Managing Director of Adjaye/Associates a young architectural practice that grew from 5 to 35 people during her six-year tenure. Ms. Wong sits on the Board of Directors at Storefront for Art and Architecture and APEX, a nonprofit providing educational support to underserved Asian youth.
Ben Davis is a writer and art critic living in New York. He is currently executive editor of Artinfo.com, where he writes “Interventions,” a column about art and politics, and “The Art Lover,” a less frequent column of love advice. His book “9.5 Theses on Art and Class and Other Writings” is forthcoming from Haymarket.
