WE ARE THRILLED TO PRESENT TO YOU THE LATEST MUSIC RELASE FROM FRANCHISE, A NEW SINGLE BY CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ARTIST TOMU DJ, FEATURING ARTWORK BY REWINA BESHUE.
“The track begins with a skeleton of drums and bass, followed by the entry of an inquisitive whistling melody that leads to an expansive, lush, and full melodic celebration. This mirrors the endless possibilities of life on Earth. Even on a day like any other—there is beauty and excitement to be found within the routines of life.. or something like that.”

ON VIEW NYC: AWOL ERIZKU - Memories of a Lost Sphinx
Gagosian is pleased to announce Memories of a Lost Sphinx, an exhibition of new works by Awol Erizku. Installed in a black-painted interior, a set of six lightbox photographs accompanied by a mixed-media sculpture represent the sphinx as a complex, cross-cultural symbol that extends between and beyond Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Asian mythologies. Organized by Antwaun Sargent, this is Erizku’s first exhibition at the gallery.
Erizku works in photography, film, sculpture, painting, and installation, making reference to spirituality, art history, and hip-hop; in the process, he aims to craft a new vernacular that bridges the gap between African and African American visual cultures. Further developing his “Afro-esoteric” iconography in Memories of a Lost Sphinx, Erizku explores the intersections of ancient mythology, diasporic tradition, and contemporary culture.
The sphinx is a hybrid creature with human and animal attributes: the head of a human, body of a lion, wings of a falcon, and, in some cases, a serpent-headed tail. According to Egyptian tradition, this guardian figure had a male head, whereas in Greek mythology, the sphinx was female and originated in Aethopia. The most notorious Greek sphinx was bested when Oedipus answered her riddle, “What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?”
