WSA is pleased to present the exhibition Duet which inaugurates The Mall—the newly renovated third and fourth floors at 161 Water Street designed to host experiences at the intersection of art, design and commerce.

Organized by curators Kyle DeWoody and Zoe Lukov, Duet features presentations from 11 select galleries, each installed in its own space across The Mall. This new format offers a fresh way to experience and collect art–a platform for galleries we admire, at a time when new models for engaging with artists and audiences are paramount.

Inspired by conversations around duality–yin and yang, partnerships, twins and two spirits, mirrors and reflections, Duet explores the magnetic tension between two forces. From the choreography of the pas de deux to the playful rhythm of double dutch, from the vulnerability of companionship to the joy of the do-si-do, from the energetic link of twins to the uncanny doppelganger, from the mirror selfie to the digital avatar, the exhibition explores the good fortune of ibeyi, the terrible twos, and celebrates the transformative power of the dynamic duo.
