A conversationwith Adam Berninger about the new Heft Gallery which recently opened at 300 Broome Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The gallery features artists who utilize contemporary tools, such as artificial intelligence and algorithms, to reflect on the contemporary world. In the conversation, we discuss his journey from running the gallery online under the name Tender to opening the new physical space for Heft. We also delve into how his background in photography and fabrication has influenced his approach to curating and presenting works, as well as the evolving role of the gallerist, and the unique opportunities and challenges of working with artists who are deeply connected to both traditional and digital art communities.
