Has there been any further word on the rumour that Ydessa Hendeles is closing her exhibition space?
Yes! It appears that for now, she will continue. Word is that she has accepted an appointment at U of T, and is currently preparing a new exhibition at the Ydessa Hendeles Art Foundation called ‘Strait Jacket’
