Genuine Fake Premium Economy
Artists Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison and Jasmine Gregory join Associate Curator, Nicola Leong for a discussion on their work and the critical ideas presented in Genuine Fake Premium Economy.
The artists will explore the development of their works in the exhibition within the contexts of showing together and their individual practices. While their practices differ in form – Bliss often works in moving image, Ellison in photography and Gregory in painting and assemblage – all three artists examine ideas about class, labour and value in their work, and share similar stylistic approaches to satirising, staging or appropriating the real.
There will be opportunity for questions from the audience.

Recent solo exhibitions include Blue Light in the Living Room at Ulrik, New York (2025), Basic Cable at Amant, New York (2024), Haus am Waldsee, Berlin (2024), Homing at Ulrik, New York (2022), Now Vacant., Stadtgalerie Bern, Bern (2021), and Late Responder, Felix Gaudlitz, Vienna (2020).

Buck Ellison (b. 1987, San Francisco) lives and works in Los Angeles. His work examines how whiteness is sustained and broadcast. His work is in the collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and Whitney Museum of American Art.
Jasmine Gregory (b. 1987, Washington D.C.) explores the systems that define value and legitimacy-and what happens when those systems collapse. Working in painting and installation, the artist uses language, abstraction and unconventional display strategies to interrogate the social and aesthetic contracts that structure wealth, property, and taste.
Gregory's early work focused on re-painting luxury advertising imagery to critique how value, desire, and status are manufactured through images. These paintings exposed the seductive fantasies of inheritance, legacy, and stability that consumer culture sells us. Over time, she shifted from depicting these fantasies to interrogating the underlying structures that make them possible-social contracts, legal agreements, and systems of property.
Solo exhibitions include Who Wants To Die For Glamour at MoMA PS1 (New York, 2024); Si je ne peux pas l’avoir, toi non plus at CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain (Bordeaux, 2023); Heirlooms at Kings Leap (New York, 2022); A Little Newer, A Little Better, A Little Sooner Than Is Necessary at Sophie Tappeiner (Vienna, 2022); Mommie Dearest at Istituto Svizzero (Rome/Milan, 2021); and Audacity Unlimited at Soft Opening (London, 2025). Gregory was nominated for the Swiss Art Awards in 2023 and 2025.
This event is part of the public programme of Genuine Fake Premium Economy: Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison and Jasmine Gregory.
