Nathaniel Mary Quinn Selects

Artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn curates a selection of favorite films that have influenced his practice, continuing a programmer-in-residence series co-presented with Gagosian.

“I enjoy films where the protagonist strives to achieve something great while failure hunts them, or the fear and threat of not making it is a looming weight. These movies, in particular, highlight a nuanced motive underneath the drive for success, for becoming somebody in life, for making something of yourself: that the so-called pursuit of greatness and making one’s dreams come true is essentially about making sure that whenever you’re alone in a room, sitting in silence, that inadequacy is still not your roommate.” —Nathaniel Mary Quinn
