5 MIN WITH


Untitled Art Houston — Special Edition

During Untitled Art Houston, I brought 5 Min With onto the fair floor for three conversations centered on the artists, ideas and work that made us slow down and look closer.


Kavi Gupta | Chicago, Illinois

UNTITLED EPISODE 01
Kavi Gupta at Untitled Art Houston
Guest: Garrett Walinske, Associate Director
Featuring the work of Haya Zaidi

A conversation from Booth B27 centered on Haya Zaidi’s work and the ideas shaping Kavi Gupta’s presentation at Untitled Art Houston.

We talk about looking beyond the surface of the booth, how context changes the way work is experienced, and the importance of making room for artists whose practices expand the stories being told through contemporary art.


Northern-Southern | Austin, Texas

UNTITLED EPISODE 02
Northern Southern at Untitled Art Houston
Guest: @cyborgjuno + relevant artists

For the final conversation in this Untitled special edition, we look at how a gallery builds a point of view — not simply through the work it shows, but through the relationships, artists and questions it chooses to bring into the room.

Recorded from Untitled Art Houston as part of the first 5 Min With fair edition.

Why five minutes?

Artists are constantly asked to summarize themselves: their work, their practice, their identity, their value.

I wanted to create something slightly different.

5 Min With is less about extracting the perfect answer and more about making space for a useful one — a thought, decision, process or experience that helps us understand how someone is actually navigating a creative life.

Sometimes five focused minutes can tell us more than an hour of polished talking points.

Many of the questions underneath 5 Min With — identity, capacity, opportunity, intention and what it means to build a sustainable creative life — also shaped my Artist Vision workbook and workshops.
