Hauser & Wirth presents ‘You Don’t Have to Tell Me Twice,’ a major solo exhibition by Mark Bradford filling the entirety of the gallery’s 22nd Street building. The artist’s first show in New York since 2015 features a deeply personal exploration of the multifaceted nature of displacement and the predatory forces that feed on populations driven into motion by crisis. Primarily known for his unique style of ‘social abstraction,’ Bradford turns his attention toward figures, including his own, of flora and fauna—predators and prey—that move within dense, dreamlike abstracted landscapes, masses of material, color and line.

Hauser & Wirth and Mark Bradford developed a learning program to accompany the exhibition and CFO was chosen for this first learning initiative; through a first-hand workshop, the CFO youth worked directly with Bradford and the experience led them to tailor their tours to connect with the themes and topics they learned. Each participant was able to draw upon their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas around the exhibition.

Join Hauser & Wirth for free tours of ‘You Don't Have To Tell Me Twice’ in New York throughout the summer. Hear all about the exhibition from CFO youth participants who spent time with the artist to learn about his work.

Additionally, the gallery has partnered with StoryCorps Studios whose mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world.

The interview session is the heart of StoryCorps and in partnership with Hauser & Wirth, members of our CFO community have been invited to record their stories for future generations. We are honored to be a part of this important initiative.
