About

Watch a conversation between artist Nico Williams and Daniel Fiset, curator of the exhibition Bingo, on view from April 25 to September 14, 2025.

During this discussion, Williams explores the development of his first major solo exhibition, which brings together works from 2015 to the present. Through the medium of beadwork, the artist creates a tension between art and craftsmanship that shapes his artistic practice. Williams and Fiset discuss concepts such as economy, circulation, cultural hierarchy, and disparities, while highlighting key works from the exhibition.
