Tomorrow is verse first drop anniversary. The last two years had been a whirlwind of learnings for me. To fully focus on my gallery Nguyen Wahed, I’ll step back from my role working with the verse team. I’m grateful to everyone who repeatedly trusted me to work with, on multiple shows: Sofia Crespo for two shows with Entangled Others and two collaborations with Anna Ridler from Paris Photo cyanotypes to Here polaroids Leander Herzog from Chain, to Agglo on a biggest LEDs I’ve ever seen, and the upcoming [aside] Addie Wagenknecht starting with Fighting Windmills and [aside] coming soon Marcel Schwittlick from Odysseys to last year’s Paris Photo luminograms to his Berlin solo show this year Mario Klingeman from Like this from 2011 to Paris photo last year Kerim Safa from taking over a skyscraper in Manchester to the first generative series of machines with loackme Zach Lieberman from Chromatics in Aug 2022, through to his solos in London and the upcoming show in Paris Lars Wander also from Chromatics to next Paris Photo Mark Webster from our first solo show in London to etching press in Odysseys Richard Nadler from magical realism in London through one and only Yamabushi to Izanami Rhea Myers from our first launch show to the upcoming [aside] series Zancan for first ever verse launch drop through the green room in Frieze Gallery, then Florence, to 11 042 mints of Carbon Capture Pawel Grzelak - dziękuję za wszystkie owadki Travess Smalley from pixel rug in London to upcoming [aside] Qubibi from working on Taschen book chapter, through his first open edition on eth, to 3 shows of wiwizn, magical realism and a solo show in London I wanted to also thank the artists who I was lucky to work with and hope our paths will cross again, Jake Fried, Yazid, Rudxane, Jesse Draxler, Kristen Roos, Gretta Louw, Julien Gachadoat, Gary Edward Blum, Matthew Plummer-Fernandez, Ivona, Obvious, Sputniko, Shunsuke Takawo, Nicolas Sassoon, Marcelo Soria Rodriguez, Deafbeef, Matt DesLauriers, Manfred Mohr, AA Murakami, Kevin Abosch, BYMA, Andreas Rau, Piter Pasma, Ana Maria, p1xelfool.

Looking back at the last two years including our launch event in Basel in 2022, I wanted to thank the verse team - best team on the planet for welcoming me as a founding member, for being so hard working and supportive in all the crazy endeavors, August, Jamie, Leyla, Ivan, Anna, Holly, George, Sam and every single one in the incredible tech team. I’ll be looking into experimenting with technically challenging projects. Grateful to be working with Distributed Gallery, Georg and the museums on future projects. I look forward to showing as Nguyen Wahed Heterotopia in Paris with Sarah Meyohas, Zach Lieberman, Rik Oostenbroek, Lars Wander and welcoming collaborations of Leander Herzog & Kim Asendorf, Andreas Gysin & Sidi Vanetti, Vera Molnar & Aurèce Vettier. And a secret Japanese project And physical solo show of qubibi in New York later this year. Stay tuned. I listed so many names here’s it’s mad. But it means that’s it’s not just me, it’s everyone else who surround me, some became close friends, some are responsible for life-threatening screen time. It’s all us together. This is how we build. I set up a gallery, my shrink is finally happy. mimi[at]nguyenwahed.com
