INDEPENDENT ART FAIR

Pier 36, New York, NY 
May 14 - 17, 2026
DAN GUNN | Solo Presentation

PENTIMENTI

Booth 503

Pentimenti is thrilled to debut at Independent with a solo presentation of works by Dan Gunn.

Growing up in the Midwest, Dan Gunn often found the region reflecting upon its past in everyday objects, familiar but often defunct things shaped by place, labor, and memory. In his work, he explores how these representations of regional identity become both a psychological foundation and a mythological mirror. Gunn’s objects reflect the complex ways myth, memory, and longing shape how we understand the past, and how it continues to echo in the present. In this new series of works, Gunn engages the layered meanings of “interior,” the Midwestern heartland, the nation’s collective psyche, and the decorative domestic space. He intertwines these registers into an exploration of identity, memory, and cultural inheritance.
