Abe Sugarman
Desktop Tour

Desktop Tours is a series that invites artists from arebyte Gallery’s yearly programme to talk through their computer or laptop desktop, including key folders, bookmarks, and software they use in their work.

The artists talk about the work produced for their exhibition at arebyte as well as new content they are working on, their processes, past experimentations, and a look into their virtual mind.

Abe’s exhibition Rock Bottom will open at arebyte on 17 March 2023: more info HERE.

Facilitated and edited by Marc Blazel.
