Next 9 is a series of moments shaped by art & the people who gather around it. The inaugural chapter, Soft Setting, sees artist Ella Gonzales transform an apartment into a layered, immersive installation. Each experience unfolds inside the work itself—shifting the usual distance between viewer and artwork into something you move through and live alongside.
