Check out our latest essay by on Substack.

Art Daddy is a New York-based art journalist, cultural critic, professor, and art world provocateur with academic backgrounds in cultural studies, performance theory, criticism, and gender studies. Their work examines contemporary art, media, labor, power, and the increasingly chaotic social theater of the art world through a mix of cultural analysis, reporting, and psychologically destabilizing levels of gossip observation.

Thank you for chatting about your upcoming presentation at with .space . In our conversation we discuss how art fairs are loud and her work invites a sense of quiet and stillness. Her work requires empty space, not just negative space as a formal quality, but as an active material. She also speaks about her time in Japan, the conceptual choice to use of paper in her work and some upcoming exhibitions to keep on our radar.

Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful answers about why there’s such an abundance of artist-run spaces in Philadelphia. For nearly 20 years, Grizzly Grizzly has been serving artists and putting on shows. We talk about the unique constraints and opportunities that come with stewarding a 200sqft gallery with a pillar in the middle, how institutional memory gets passed down to new members, and what the biggest missing pieces are within Philly’s artist-run ecosystem.

Be sure to check out their current exhibition “Four on the Floor,” a two person show by and open now through April 26, 2026.
