As artistic director of New York’s recently opened co-working club Spring Place, she has begun unveiling a program that connects with events about town, such as Fashion Week, the Independent Art Fair (open through Sunday), and the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival—many of them conveniently located at Spring Studios next door. Next up: a talk this afternoon by painter and national treasure Pat Steir, Russian-born philanthropist Maria Baibakova, and New Museum curator Lauren Cornell. The trio will wrestle with gender inequality in the art world, and how best to tackle it.
