“We deeply mourn the passing of our dear friend Duane Michals. OSMOS mounted 2 exhibitions with Duane: Duane Michals: Open Book in 2013 and Anti Trump: AgitProp in 2017. Our work together included radical, non commercial, and personal engagements. Duane’s generosity was as exemplary as his genius. I will never forget my first visit to the basement on 19th Street where we started to look at make ready from the many book projects, where we started working on the first exhibition. For the second exhibition I found myself in the parlor surrounded by brightly painted sculptures staged in protest to the first Trump term and his alliance to Putin. Duane remained resolute in his demand for justice and his commitment to fighting for human rights. He made work every day.”
