David Peter Francis to Show Emilie Louise Gossiaux at Art Basel 2026
David Peter Francis gallery will present a Statements booth at Art Basel 2026 featuring New York-based multidisciplinary artist Emilie Louise Gossiaux (b. 1989, New Orleans, LA). Blind since a young age, Gossiaux translates dreams, memories, and tactile experiences into works exploring interdependence, Disability, and interspecies kinship, centered on their decade-long relationship with guide dog London. The booth includes the sculptural installation "Butterflydog" alongside new tactile ballpoint pen and crayon drawings. Hybridized dog depictions of London, a 15-year-old Labrador retriever, also appear in a concurrent large-scale presentation at the 2026 Whitney Biennial.
