As many of you reading this may already know, I am an art world person who loves, makes, curates, and advocates for queer art in its many splendorous forms. And I ardently believe that our spring season for queer art in New York is nothing short of visionary.

Christopher Stout in conversation with Colin Radcliffe.

Still in the afterglow of their Los Angeles Frieze week presentation, Ambre Kelly and Andrew Gori present the 2019 New York edition of SPRING/BREAK Art Show at 866 UN Plaza, featuring their curatorial exploration into the paradoxes of FACT AND FICTION.

Christopher Stout is an artist I met years ago during a studio visit in New York City. I was looking at his work in his West Village studio and realized he was a different kind of artist than many I knew. Stout’s Bushwick Art Crit Group got a lot of attention in New York while he continued making, selling and promoting his paintings—Stout was everywhere.
