I'm thrilled to finally share that Psychic Telephone is going to Indonesia for JIPFest this September. The 22 artist lineup includes two of my favorite working photographers right now, Mackenzie Calle and Nikita Teryoshin, among others.

Raque Ford’s Aesthetics of the Aftermath Danielle Ezzo considers the accumulation of forms and feelings in the bold but softly reciprocal work of Raque Ford at Greene Naftali in New York.

I wrote about Raque Ford's exhibition ‘The Barkeeper’s Friend’ on view at Greene Naftali for @ocula.com. The show is on view until August 8th. A big thank you to Aimee Walleston for the invitation.

My favorite time of the year is when I start printing my work, getting exhibition-ready, and inviting people into the studio for private viewings before things ship off, which is what I'm busy with all this month. From the series Psychic Telephone, UV prints on metal, 16x20"

Oh hey @nytopinion.nytimes.com

I’m over the moon to share with you my first @nytopinion.nytimes.com assignment. “Squashing Spotted Lanternflies Will Get Us Only So Far. We Need Wasps.” by Andrew Zaleski, about managing invasive bug species using biocontrol. An enthusiastic thank you, Elana Schlenker 🐞 Link in bio.

My story traces the phantom presence of a man I’ve never met—my biological father—through inherited photo albums, a vintage brooch, and pixelated home videos. Part speculative memoir, part forensic investigation, it follows the trail of objects and memories across family lines.

I wrote a personal story for the forthcoming book Double Feature from Saint Lucy Books, which pairs vernacular photos from artist Patrick Pound's collection with texts that play into the theme of doubling.

Preorders coming soon: saintlucybooks.com

This is especially interesting.

It's been a moment since I shared some new images from the series, Psychic Telephone—a collaboration with the author Marin Sardy. It's affirming to see a body of work emerge from time and effort spent. It's a slow process, but it happens bit by bit.

Wish I could make it!

Can babies inspire more efficient learning algorithms? A competition that trains language models on smaller datasets, more akin to how a baby learns, seeks solutions to some of LLM’s major challenges.

I was commissioned by @thetransmitter.bsky.social for the NeuroAI column. 'The BabyLM Challenge: In search of more efficient learning algorithms, researchers look to infants' written by Alona Fyshe. Art Direction Rebecca Horne.

DEAR DAVE Magazine By Danielle Ezzo, April 10, 2025

My review of the Mungo Thomson exhibitions at Karma for Dear Dave Magazine is live.

I'm writing a piece that is more deeply reported than the work I'm typically commissioned to do. The act of speaking w. people, seeing their faces, fills me with hope. It's the eye contact, the listening and not guiding the conversation that makes room for possibility.

I dance regularly to ass-shake the scaries away. Last night, friends and I went to a gay party that came highly recommended. When we got there it was 99.8% men and four women, two of which were dressed as clowns. I suspect it’s a metaphor for something, I’m just not sure what.

wait wait, there's an nyc show that we slept on?

Ohh, that reminds me I have to get back to it.

Publication: Elsewhere: A Conversation with Eman Ali and Danielle Ezzo DE: You’ve likened the series Elsewhere to a form of escapism. What are you, we, escaping? Is Elsewhere a suitable destination or something else? EA: Elsewhere is the feeling of reaching for something...

I spoke with the artist Eman Ali for her solo exhibition of 'Elsewhere' about escapism, the environment, materiality, and photography's strange relationship with AI at Investec Cape Town Art Fair at Hunna Art Gallery.
