Portuguese art dealer Duarte Sequeira established his eponymous gallery in 2019, platforming a diverse roster of artists through a cross-generational and collaboratively minded programme that unfolds across sites in Braga, London and Seoul. The sprawling Braga HQ consists of two buildings: a 900 square-metre main exhibitions space and a 140 square-metre project space, both designed…
The summer in Seattle is gone, the cold snap of rain back on Cherry Street. The fastest-growing city in the country according to the U.S. Census Bureau last year, the Emerald City is an ever-stranger series of contradictions.
