June Art Fair Moves Online with Hauser & Wirth, Featuring Georgia Gardner Gray, Jorge González, and Sky Hopinka

The 2020 edition of June, a boutique art fair launched last year in Basel, has shifted to an online platform hosted by Hauser & Wirth from August 20–31. ArtReview is supporting this year's fair, which features artists including Georgia Gardner Gray, Jorge González, and Sky Hopinka. Gray, represented by Croy Nielsen in Vienna, presents works exploring social media's manic energy and natural phenomena's sublime feelings, while critiquing digital art consumption. She rarely views art online, preferring physical encounters, and has an upcoming solo show at Svetlana gallery in New York City. González, with Embajada in San Juan, exhibits his Toali series, referencing Taíno carved stones using lampblack and limestone dust, alongside pieces from the Chicago Architecture Biennial. His practice emphasizes community, indigenous causes, and anti-racism, with future projects including an exhibition at Tenerife Espacio de las Artes in November 2020 and collaborations in Colombia. Hopinka, showing with The Green Gallery in Milwaukee, presents Breathings photographs etched with poetic texts referencing Ho-Chunk beliefs, maintaining a focus on material objects despite the digital shift. He has an upcoming exhibition at the Hessel Museum this fall. The artists discuss potential art world changes, with Gray noting super-galleries' resilience and Hopinka emphasizing community-level impacts.
