It's impossible to find a place to start when you're trying to describe a conversation with Gabriel Kilongo - the Founder and Director of Miami's hottest gallery, Jupiter Contemporary. Geographically his story starts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and career wise it is in the kitchen of Brice Marden's studio washing dishes. Don't believe us? Take a listen to hear this incredible journey where Kilongo reminds us that diligence, hard work, networking, good taste and perseverance can get you where you want to go - and that the experience you get along the way will serve you more than you know in your future!  GABE RECOMMENDS: Watching: The Watcher, The White Lotus Reading: A Visible Man: A Memoir by Edward Enninful  Listening: Nicolas Jaar LOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNET Gabriel Kilongo - @jupitercontemporary, jupitercontemporary.com  Alexis Hyde - @hydeordie, alexishyde.com   Dr. Erika Wong; - @topractisepractice, www.topractisepractice.com Slack channel: topractiseapractice.slack.com  Email us: [email protected] Music by Alexander Rossi alexanderrossi.me DON'T FORGET If you're an artist- sign up to be a beta tester for TPP https://topractisepractice.com/ !
