Gagosian hosted this conversation between Louise Bonnet and Stefanie Hessler, director of Swiss Institute, New York, inside "30 Ghosts," the artist’s exhibition of new paintings at Gagosian, New York. In the discussion, the pair explore the work’s recurring themes-the cycles of life, continuity and the future, and death-and discuss how the conceptual and pictorial structures Bonnet borrows from seventeenth-century Dutch still-life painting converge to form a metaphor for hard labor, basic animal urges, and the things we often try, but fail, to hide: on.gagosian.com/3RvhmWz
