“In the lingo of the art market, Parker Ito and Juliana Halpert are both ultracontemporary artists.” 
—Travis Diehl, “The Ultracontemporaries,” Spike magazine, July 2023



“Not every show can operate like Au Jus; not every pair of artists can spin the delicate but unmistakable web of connection that close association unconsciously brings.”
—Domenick Ammirati, Spigot, July 14, 2023



“Perhaps the most special commonality between Halpert and Ito is that they’re both great writers: So rarely is a press release—this one featuring accounts from both artists’ perspectives on their collaboration and practices—poignant, vulnerable yet funny, and undoubtedly worth the read.”
