GROUP EXHIBITION: GIVE ME TWO

GIVE ME TWO is a group exhibition organized and curated by Marcus Jahmal and Giorgia Alliata, bringing twelve living artists across generations into deliberate adjacency at ANTON KERN GALLERY.

January 14 - February 21, 2026

This show emerged from an ongoing process of assembling that recalls the making of a mixtape, where sequence, pace, and relation produce meaning. The premise of pairing functions as an unfixed structure and a method of discovery, offering a way of noticing the dynamics activated when works are placed in proximity. The artists participating in this exhibition are Katherine Bernhardt, Isaiah Davis. Olivia Drusin, Esteban Jefferson, Eric N. Mack, Kayode Ojo, In June Park, Kenny Rivero, Dana Schutz, Henry Taylor, Alix Vernet and Elzie Williams.

Unfolding through napkins, AC units, caricatures, stairs, chandeliers, metal, cybertrucks, jugglers, math, color, and variable heights, the works collectively propose a rhythm that becomes apparent in their joint display: how they hang, lean, echo, interrupt, and negotiate space with one another. Sculptural elements suspend from the ceiling or anchor to the floor, while works on the wall mediate between them and respond to architectural features present in the gallery.

A transparent balcony on the upper level connects the two floors, overlooking the lower level and folding sightlines back onto themselves. The arrangement of pieces mirrors the exhibition’s logic of formation, where one invitation prompts the next and exchanges among peers sustain an open dialogue.

The generosity of this proposition lies in its insistence on artist-to-artist conversation as a curatorial ethic that remains in motion.
