1. “Life After Conflict: Stories as Told to ICC Outreach by Survivors of the World’s Worst Crimes” at the United Nations, New York

The series “Life After Conflict” shares some of the stories witnessed by outreach staff of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and documented through the lenses of photographers Rena Effendi, Pete Muller, and Finbarr O’Reilly. The exhibition spans five countries—the Central African Republic, the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Georgia, and the Republic of Uganda. Among the common threads and themes are home and land, what is lost when one is displaced by conflict, family and connection, and leadership and support.

Price: Free
Time: Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Time: 7 p.m.

4. “Mind Forged Manacles/Manacle Forged Minds” at Columbus Park, Brooklyn

Fred Wilson presents his first-ever large-scale public sculpture, a 10-foot-tall fence installation featuring decorative ironwork and statues of African figures. A project with More Art and the Downtown Brooklyn and Dumbo Art Fund with New York City’s Art in the Parks program, the gates in the piece reference both the incarceration of Black men and immigrant detainees, as well as wealthy gated communities. It’s a reflection on barriers and separation in society, both physical and psychological.

5. “Derrick Adams: Funtime Unicorns” at Rockefeller Center, New York

Derrick Adams looks to bring Black joy to the heart of Midtown Manhattan with his new Art Production Fund public installation Funtime Unicorns, featuring interactive black unicorn sculptures-cum-playground toys. The figure of the black unicorn first appeared in Adams’s “Floater” painting series, of portraits of Black people resting on pool floats that the artist later fabricated as actual inflatables. Now, kids will be able to play on a coiled spring playground rocker version of the colorful figure, for a project that pushes back against the narrative that Black art needs to foreground pain and suffering, rather than joy and play.

Location: Rockefeller Center, Channel Gardens, between Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Plaza, New York
Price: Free
Time: On view daily at all times

There are 10 new paintings in her signature style, with curvy, joyous figures partaking in everyday activities.

Location: JD Malat Gallery, 508 West 28th Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

7. “Eddie Martinez and Sam Moyer” at the South Etna Montauk Foundation

It seems like artist spouses have always been drawn to Long Island’s East End, from Elaine and Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner to contemporary power couple Eric Fischl and April Gornik. The latest husband and wife duo to make waves on the North Fork are Eddie Martinez and Sam Moyer, the subject of a joint outing at Amalia Dayan and Adam Lindemann’s non-profit space South Etna Montauk Foundation. Featured works include stone paintings and concrete backgammon boards by Moyer as well as new paper-pulp paintings Martinez made during a recent residency at Dieu-Donné in Brooklyn. The show coincides with the artists’ taking over the annual “Sculpture in the Garden” exhibition at the Landcraft Garden Foundation in Mattituck, New York (through October 29).

Location: South Etna Montauk Foundation, 6 South Etna Avenue, Montauk, New York
Price: Free

8. “Kiki Kogelnik: Women” at Mitchell-Innes and Nash, New York

Mitchell-Innes and Nash’s second solo presentation of Kiki Kogelnik comes on the heels of the artist’s posthumous inclusion in the current Venice Biennale. It features 10 of her graphic, boldly colorful paintings and 21 works on paper, dating from 1962 to 1985. Kogelnik’s depictions of women seemingly in search of personal determination were inspired by her own struggles as a woman artist, such as when she and her fiance, artist Arnulf Rainer, moved in together and she was relegated to the attic, while he got a whole floor as a studio.

Location: Mitchell-Innes and Nash, 534 West 26th Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.

9. “Women and Other Wild Creatures: Matrilineal Tales” at Sapar Contemporary, New York

A quartet of women artist from Ukraine are among those featured in this group show inspired by photographs of generations of women fleeing the country, and of the destruction of the landscape, following the Russian invasion in February. Each artist presents nature as a source of strength for women as they look to move forward in this time of crisis, drawing on rituals and healing practices. Works on view include Dakini, a video by Ukrainian artist Zinaïda, filmed in a remote Ukrainian village and celebrating the role of women in the regions cultural traditions.

Location: Sapar Contemporary, 9 N. Moore Street, first floor, New York

10. “Alexandra Rubinstein: The Moon Also Rises” at Mother, New York

Nude men become larger than life landscapes in Alexandra Rubinstein’s oil-on-canvas paintings. It’s easy to miss the sexual imagery at a quick glance, but those are six-pack abs and a flaccid penis, not desert dunes; firm butt cheeks, not rounded hills, with waterfalls cascading down muscular backs. It’s a natural progression from the artist’s 2019 series “Dick Diaries,” which featured person-sized male genitalia working at laptops, lying on the couch, and in other everyday situations. But the meaning is darker this time around, inspired by the impending climate crisis, which Rubinstein view as a consequence of cis male complacency and inaction.

Location: Mother, 368 Broadway, Fourth Floor, Suite 415, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Thursday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.; 10 a.m.–4 p.m.

11. “Ashes Denote That Fire Was” at the Fortnight Institute, New York

Fire speaks to the primordial part of the human experience, and comes to us with tales of magic and trickery—most famously as the Greek god Prometheus’s defiant gift to humanity. This intimate group show at Fortnight Institute brings together works by 12 contemporary artists who in some way allude to the element’s enduring lure—from the fiery passions of love to the quest for survival in the wilderness of our times. The exhibition title references a poem by Emily Dickinson, and the works on view do often possess the hauntingly unsaid qualities of verse. Krystel Cárdenas’s beeswax sculpture Reliquary Box, Pendant, and Candles conjures up visions of cloistered prayer, while the softness of the materials, one realizes, would quickly dissolve near the heat of a flame. Meanwhile, Lizette Hernandez’s ceramic works themselves have been hardened into enduring shapes through exposure to the element. The aura of the exhibition is sacrosanct and ancient and enduring and the works on view offer a moment of respite and contemplation amid the tumult of the news cycle.

Location: Fortnight Institute, 21 East 3rd Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Wednesday–Sunday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.

Editors’ Picks: 13 Events for Your Art Calendar This Week, From Paola Pivi's Immersive Denim Tunnel to a Fountain Sculpture at Rock Center | Artnet News

Each week, we search for the most exciting and thought-provoking shows, screenings, and events, both digitally and in-person in the New York area. See our picks from around the world below. (Times are all ET unless otherwise noted.)

Jeppe Hein calls his water-based fountain sculptures “liquid architecture.” His latest interactive water pavilion work at Rockefeller Center will feature four concentric circles of sprinkler “walls” which rise and fall at random, the water creating an ever-changing artwork that doubles as a respite from the summer heat.

2. “M.A.L.E.H.: Messages About the Landscapes of the End of the History, Never Again Edition” at Elma, Brooklyn

For two years, the Ukrainian artist Anton Varga painted apocalyptic landscapes and failed utopias, often using the imagery of Socialist Realism. The works were a way of communicating what he saw as the beginning of the “End of History,” he has written, “and its arrival is expressed in the painful disappearance of utopian will from our societies.” Then Russia invaded Ukraine and similarly dystopian imagery began appearing everywhere. So he stopped the series, darkly pronouncing to himself, “never again.” Proceeds from the sale of works will be donated to Ukrainian aid group Come Back Alive.

Location: Elma, 216 Plymouth St., Brooklyn
Price: Free
Time: Saturday–Sunday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m. or by appointment

At last month’s Frieze New York, Paola Pivi was behind one of the art fair’s most talked-about works, a sculpture of the Statue of Liberty with an emoji-like mask, inspired by her adopted son’s extended immigration battle. A larger version, titled You know who I am, is on view on view at the High Line through next spring, and the artist also has a solo show at Perrotin featuring an immersive installation.

Iranian artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian achieved late-in-life fame for her cut-glass mosaic technique. But the same geometric forms that appear in her sculptures are also the basis for her far less recognized drawing practice. James Cohan looks to celebrate this important aspect of Farmanfarmaian’s career with a show featuring early works on paper as well as later geometric drawings, demonstrating her long-term engagement with spacial thinking.

This solo art show featuring a new body of work from Shelter Island-based artist Blair Borthwick, who left a corporate finance career to study at the Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League in New York. Her works in painting, drawing, and collage, which recall Abstract Expressionism, are deeply rooted in the exploration of self. The show is located inside Matriark, a retail space founded by Brazilian-born entrepreneur Patricia Assui Reed that looks to celebrate women designers and artisans.

9. “The Polykleitos Problem: Illusions of the Ideal in European Anatomical Images” at the Getty Center, Los Angeles

This virtual talk by University of California at Irvine professor Lyle Massey will explore some of the problems confronting early modern anatomists as they tried to define and grasp the human body. For instance, in De humani corporis fabrica (1543), a foundational volume for modern anatomy, writer Andreas Vesalius instructs his readers to find and dissect a human body that looks like an ancient Greek sculpture by Polykleitos. Although almost none of the bodies he himself dissected looked that way, the illustrations in his influential publication rely heavily on tropes of antique male muscularity and direct references to Greek statues. Many anatomical treatises portray the human body as more permeable, abstract, and resistant to Vesalian norms.

Price: Free with registration

10. “Joshua Petker’s Serenade” at Rachel Uffner, New York

In his first solo show at the gallery, Los Angeles painter Joshua Petker draws on a wide range of influences to create kaleidoscope-colored canvases with overlapping layers of images that recall the work of Francis Picabia. The result, which is something of a cross between psychedelic rock posters and traditional stained-glass windows, contains references to everything from historical European paintings to cartoon-like, mid-century fairy tale illustrations to tarot cards.

11. “Portia Munson: Flood” at Art Omi, Ghent, New York

You might know Portia Munson for her monochromatic installations of all manner of pink objects, from dolls to dildos. Her monumental sculpture Reflecting Pool does the same thing for the color blue, filling a 15-foot-wide above-ground swimming pool with a profusion of mass-produced blue plastic objects. Arranged in a pleasing gradient from dark to light, the display is at once visually appealing and depressing in that it illustrates the waste and disposability of commodification. If you haven’t seen this work in person—it appeared at the 2019 invitational exhibition at New York’s Academy of Arts and Letters—it’s really not to be missed. The exhibition features two additional sculptural installations, including a new work, Blue Altar, with blue plastic items displayed on a shrine-like bedroom vanity, and a dozen small paintings, all on the theme of water.

Location: Art Omi, Newmark Gallery, 1405 Co Rte 22, Ghent, New York
Price: $10 suggested donation
Time: Opening reception, 6 p.m.–8 p.m.; 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Artist couple Clementine Keith-Roach and Christopher Page share a home and two kids, but this is the first time they’ve had a gallery show together. The exhibition pairs Page’s trompe l’oeil paintings mimicking windows with Keith-Roach’s powerful feminist take on terracotta vessels, which feature casts of her own body.

‘Art in the Park’ headlines unofficial start to Windsor’s festival and events season

'Art in the Park' headlines unofficial start to Windsor’s festival and events season


People are turning out by the thousands for a weekend of festivals and events in Windsor-Essex, feeding a thirst that has gone largely unquenched over the past two years.


“People are hungry to get out,” proclaimed Allan Kidd, the co-chair for Art in the Park at Willistead Park. “I think I’m losing my testosterone, because I’m starting to get pretty emotional. This is amazing.”


Kidd says the Rotary Club was planning for 30,000 guests but was totally overwhelmed by the sheer number of people who came out Saturday.


“A great year for us would be 20,000 to 25,000 adults,” said Kidd. “I’ve got to figure we’re going to be closer to 40,000 or over this weekend.”


230 artists dotted Walkerville Park for the two-day festival, their tents filled to the gills with a variety of wares and goods. Another 15 local food and beverage vendors dished out treats while local musicians filled the air with an ambiance fitting for an event season kick-off.


“We wanted something fun to do today, so we just came down here to look at everything here and it’s very fun,” said 10-year-old Sloane O’Neil.


”Great to get back to some sort of normal and see all the people out,” said James Leistico. “It was worth it waiting in line to get in. I think everyone else is craving this too.”


If Art in Park isn’t your bag but you were down to get your hands dirty, the Northern Heat Rib Series is the spot.


“It’s really nice after COVID to have all these things back, it’s been so boring before, so it’s nice to be outside,” said Grace Health, who dug into some pork ribs and mac and cheese to commemorate the occasion.


The rib festival took place at Festival Plaza from Friday to Saturday, bringing finger-licking good times and thousands more people to the riverfront.


“It’s a great thing to see all these people,” said Tex Robert Jr., a southern griller from Louisiana. “I’ll tell you one thing, the past two days have been great, you couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Editors’ Picks: 12 Events for Your Art Calendar This Week, From James Joyce Mania at the Morgan to Photoville in Brooklyn Bridge Park | Artnet News

Each week, we search for the most exciting and thought-provoking shows, screenings, and events, both digitally and in-person in the New York area. See our picks from around the world below. (Times are all ET unless otherwise noted.)

 

Wednesday, June 1–Saturday, August 20

1.”Everything Slackens in a Wreck” at Ford Foundation Gallery, New York

The Ford Foundation, perhaps one of New York City’s longest-shuttered cultural spaces, re-emerges post-lockdown with a four-artist show—featuring Margaret Chen, Andrea Chung, Wendy Nanan, and Kelly Sinnapah Mary—curated by Trinidadian scholar, author, and artist Andil Gosine and inspired by the diasporan experience. Chung has built a site-specific community bird nest from sugar cane scraps collected in Trinidad, while Mary’s contribution includes 20 papier mâché sculptures from her series “Notebook of No Return,” a large-scale triptych painting, and two portraits of her parents inspired by the Indian ancestry she only learned of as an adult.

Location: Ford Foundation Gallery, 320 E 43rd St, New York
Price: Free
Time: Opening reception (RSVP required) 7 p.m.–9 p.m., Monday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

2. “Cristina Iglesias: Landscape and Memory” at Madison Square Park, New York

This summer’s Madison Square Park public art installation digs into the physical history of the site, which was once home to Cedar Creek. In memory of this lost body of water, Cristina Iglesias will place five bronze sculptural pools on the park’s Oval Lawn, inviting visitors to imagine the once-flowing waters of this long-forgotten stream—almost as if they were archaeologists investigating New York City’s geological past.

Location: Madison Square Park, between Broadway and Madison Avenue and East 23 Street and East 26 Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: On view daily at all times

3. “William Klein: YES; Photographs, Paintings, Films, 1948–2013” at the International Center of Photography, New York

This retrospective of the multi-faceted photographer includes nearly 300 works, ranging from  photographs, paintings, films, and photobooks. Covering his more than 60-year career, it is the first major US show in decades.

The roughly chronological presentation was organised by ICP curator-at-large David Campany, who worked with Klein for more than a decade to unite the diverse strands of his global practice in painting, graphic design, street photography, fashion photography, documentary film, scripted film, and books. “For a long time, Klein was known as either a fashion photographer or a street photographer or a filmmaker, as different audiences knew and valued different aspects of his work,” Campany said. “Only in recent years has the scope of his achievements begun to be recognized.”

Location: International Center of Photography, 79 Essex Street, New York
Price: $16 general admission; suggested donation on Thursdays, 6 p.m.–9 p.m.
Time: Opening reception, 7 p.m.– 9 p.m.; Wednesday and Friday–Monday, 11 a.m.–7 p.m.; Thursday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.

4. “One Hundred Years of James Joyce Ulysses” at The Morgan Library & Museum

Calling all Bloomsday celebrants and Joyce fans: “One Hundred Years of James Joyce’s Ulysses” at the historic Morgan Library—one of the historic former homes of industrialist J.P. Morgan—traces the author’s path from poet to Modernist literary genius. The show presents key figures in his career, including artists and writers who responded to his magnum opus, and the family who shaped him.

The show delves into Joyce’s imagination during the creation of the book, as reflected in manuscripts, plans, and proofs. There are contributions from the James Joyce Collection at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. This presentation also highlights a significant gift to the Morgan by the art dealer Sean Kelly and his wife Mary, who over several decades accumulated one of the foremost Joyce collections in private hands.

Location: The Morgan Library, 225 Madison Avenue, New York
Price: Adults $22; $14 Seniors (65 +); $13 Students (with current ID) Free to children 12 and under (must be accompanied by an adult). Free Friday programs take place 5-7 p.m. (Reservations required)

Time: Monday, closed; Tuesday- Thursday, Saturday-Sunday 10:30 a.m.- 5 p.m.; Friday 10:30 a.m.- 7 p.m.

5. “Photoville” at Brooklyn Bridge Park 

For my money, Photoville is one of New York’s most engaging art events, presenting inspiring displays of images that highlight pressing social and environmental issues and unique stories of communities around the world—as well as just plain beautiful photographs. The artists featured in 60 exhibitions on view in 20 sites across the city range from graduating eighth graders from Santa Maria School in the Bronx to Indigenous artists Dakota Mace and Tahila Mintz. The show’s hub is in Brooklyn Bridge Park, but there are installations as far afield as Floyd Bennett Field in Queens, where there is a presentation by the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy and the Sanitation Museum, and Van Cortland Park in the Bronx, featuring work by the Bronx Women’s Photo Collective.

Location: Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 1, 2 Furman Street, Brooklyn, and 20 other locations across New York City
Price: Free
Time: Opening celebration, 1 p.m.–10 p.m.; on view daily at all times

6. “Howard Schwartzberg: Before Painting” at Private Public Gallery, New York

Private Public Gallery, which opened this January in a former synagogue, is giving Howard Schwartzberg his first solo show in 20 years. The artist, who was born in 1965, began developing his own unique approach to painting in the late 1980s, creating sculptural works that reshaped the stretched canvases into shredded strips and other forms. “Rearranging and rethinking the functionality of the painting materials, for example, applying canvas to paint instead of paint to canvas, broadened my interpretation of what a painting can be,” the artist wrote on his website. “Collapse and decay are present in the work, which are glued or sewn back together.”

Location: Private Public Gallery, 531 Columbia Street, Hudson
Price: Free
Time: Opening reception, 4 p.m.–7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m.–6 p.m., and by appointment

7. “Around the Table: Stories of the Foods We Love” at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx

If you’re like me and art and food are two of your great passions, you’ll want to make time this summer for a trek up to the Bronx, where the New York Botanical Garden is celebrating food’s origins in an exhibition celebrating both the art and science of culinary traditions. The show includes tables designed by Bronx artists installed throughout the garden as well as more scientific displays about the environmental and social impacts of our food choices.

Location: The New York Botanical Garden, 2900 Southern Boulevard, Bronx
Price: $30 general admission
Time: 10 a.m.–6 p.m.

8. “Unnatural Nature: Post-Pop Landscapes” at Acquavella, New York

This two-part exhibition closed in Palm Beach on May 25, but you can still catch this colorful and stylized ode to contemporary landscape painting curated by Todd Bradway, editor of Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism, on the Upper East Side. The featured artists range in age from 35 to 95 (that would be Lois Dodd at the top) and include the likes of David Hockney and the recently deceased Wayne Thiebaud, to Jules de Balincourt and Nicholas Party.

Location: Acquavella, 18 East 79th Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

Through Sunday, June 12

9. “Neustro Juramento” at Ed. Varie, New York

Don’t miss non-binary queer artist Moisés Salazar Tlatenchi’s luminous solo exhibition at Ed. Varie. Tlatenchi creates works that celebrate the beauty of non-binary individuals, and offers a safe space. The bulk of these works were created in Mexico City in a residency created specifically for them by Ed. Varie. The title translates to “Our Oath” and reflects the time the artist spent connecting to their roots as a first generation Mexican from Chicago.

Location: Ed. Varie, 184 East 7th Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Saturday–Sunday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m. and by appointment

10. “Jen DeNike: Visions of the Daughters” at Signs and Symbols, New York

In preparation for her solo show at Signs and Symbols, Jen DeNike personally mined thousands of quartz crystals from geological crevices in Arkansas that have existed for hundreds of millions of years. The show’s title comes from “Visions of the Daughters of Albion,” a 1793 poem by English writer and artist William Blake, envisioning a future where women enjoy societal and sexual autonomy. The main piece in the show is a video in which women lie in repose, projected onto a crystal-encrusted box, inspired by 13th-century Irish burials.

Location: Signs and Symbols, 249 East Houston Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

—Sarah Cascone

Through Monday, July 25

11. “Kazuko Miyamoto: Works from 1966 to 2005” at Zürcher Gallery, New York

This exhibition, which opened just ahead of Memorial Day weekend, coincides with Kazuko Miyamoto’s first institutional solo show, “To Perform a Line” at New York’s Japan Society (through July 10). The artist, who was born in 1942, has not been fully recognized for her significant contributions to the Minimalism movement. An alumni of the Art Students League, were she studied under Charles Alston, Miyamoto was the studio assistant and friend of Sol LeWitt, but developed her own brand of abstract geometric paintings, embracing the grid format.

Location: Zürcher Gallery, 33 Bleecker Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.

—Sarah Cascone

12. Valet bike parking at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

If, like me, you’ve taken up biking as your primary means of transportation in New York, you’ve probably been frustrated by the absurd lack of bike parking, especially outside major cultural institutions. The Met was already head and shoulders above most other museums, with dedicated bike racks in the parking garage, but they are stepping up their game this summer with the return of their seasonal valet bike parking on weekends. The initiative adds 100 spots to the existing parking infrastructure—and means no fumbling with your bike lock.

Location: The Met Fifth Avenue, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York
Price: Free
Time: Saturday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Sunday and holiday Mondays (July 4 and September 5), 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

2. Peter Nadin in Conversation with Randy Kennedy at Off Paradise, New York

This week, artist Peter Nadin and author Randy Kennedy will be in conversation at Tribeca’s Off Paradise gallery, where an exhibition of Nadin’s work, titled “The Distance From a Lemon to Murder,” is on view through June 23. The show marks Nadin’s return to “painting from life,” after an extended departure from the commercial art world. In the series, Nadin focuses on the meticulous process of grafting a lemon scion (the fruit and branches that stick above ground) to the rootstock of a sour orange (the underground root system and trunk). Nadin’s sculptural paintings are musings on the notion of grafting information and experiences to form our individual realities. Speaking to the Paris Review ahead of their conversation, Nadin recalled reading that Stalin grafted lemon trees, a practice he would take part in between signing the death warrants of hundreds of individuals. “That difference between the actions, the careful grafting and the mass horror,” Nadin said, “I realize now, must have been in my mind without knowing it.”

Location: Off Paradise, 120 Walker Street (the talk will also be livestreamed at @offparadise, and available later for viewing online.)
Price: Free
Time: 6:30 p.m.

5. “Audrey Flack: Force of Nature” at Hollis Taggart, New York

Audrey Flack celebrates her upcoming 91st birthday (on May 30) with a show of never-before-seen works on paper, as well as Abstract Expressionist paintings from the 1950s and ’60s. The gallery uncovered the early works on paper while conducting archival research in the artist’s studio. Dating from the period between Flack’s graduation from the High School of Music and Arts in Harlem, her time at New York City’s Cooper Union, and her studies under Josef Albers at Yale, these paintings show the young artist’s development as she came to embrace the Ab-Ex movement.

8. “What a Long Strange Trip” at Analog Diary, Beacon, New York

Derek Eller, Abby Messitte, Katharine Overgaard, and Franklin Parrasch are teaming up to open a new gallery, Analog Diary, in Beacon, New York. The new venture will be “a space where thinking about art without the mind clutter of an Instagrammable frame of reference is possible,” according to a statement for the inaugural exhibition. “What is off the table is the notion of ‘off the table’—concepts of exclusion and a restricted mindset are not a thing here.” Reflecting this rejection of prescribed categories, the gallery is opening with a wide-ranging group show featuring Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A.), Radcliffe Bailey, Nicole Cherubini, Zoë Charlton, Al Freeman,  Miles Huston, Lee Quiñones, and Dorothea Tanning, among others.

Location: Analog Diary, 1154 North Avenue, Beacon, New York
Price: Free
Time: Opening reception, 4 p.m.–6 p.m; Saturday and Sunday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.

9. “Moonlight Room: Krista Louise Smith and Rosalind Tallmadge” at Carvalho Park, Brooklyn

Carvalho Park presents a two-person painting exhibition by Brooklyn-based artists Krista Louise Smith and Rosalind Tallmadge. Both artists present serene, monochromatic works in various shades of pale pastel, “offering a transcendent cohesion” of their styles. Dreamy pink and blue hues of the sky appear in Smith’s paintings, often inspired by her travels, and particularly her recent trips to New Mexico’s desert. Tallmadge’s works are infused with light and glimmer, invoking geological elements through the use of materials such as fabric, mica flakes, and marble dust. The effect of them together is like “being wrapped in a serene, feminized glow,” according to co-founder Jennifer Carvalho.

Location: Carvalho Park, 112 Waterbury Street, Brooklyn
Price: Free
Time: Thursday–Saturday, 12 p.m.–6 p.m.

10. “Black Venus” at Fotografiska New York

This wide-ranging show curated by Aindrea Emelife examines Western representations of the Black female body. By including archival images from 1793 to 1930, as well as contemporary photography from 1975 to the present, the exhibition allows Black women to reclaim their agency, rejecting the fetishization and sexual objectification faced by previous generations. Featured contemporary artists were born from 1942 to 1997, with an intergenerational mix that includes Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, Zanele Muholi, and Renee Cox.

Location: Fotografiska, 281 Park Avenue, New York

11. “Evelyn Statsinger: Currents” at Gray New York 

For decades, the Chicago-based artist Evelyn Statsinger (1927–2016) created drawings, paintings, and sculptures of the natural world. The artist’s early works from the 1950s were kind of all-over botanical patterns and drew the admiration of the likes of Mies Van Der Rohe. In fact, Statsinger had two exhibitions of her work at the Art Institute of Chicago, first in 1952 and then again in 1957. Statsinger’s later works, though, are particularly beguiling, as this exhibition organized by writer and curator Dan Nadel makes clear. In these peculiar visions, the artist forgoes naturalism and identifiable forms for abstracted and fantastical depictions of nature that feel both wholly out of this world and of the moment. 

Location: Gray New York, 1018 Madison Avenue, 2nd floor, New York
Price: Free
Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m

5. “Khatia Esartia: My Sweet Potato” at Marisa Newman Projects, New York

The lead character in Khatia Esartia’s new series of paintings is Fluffy, who is trying to retrieve a sweet potato that has gone missing from the dinner table. But this absurdist quest has darker undertones, inspired by the artist’s own search for normalcy after fleeing to the U.S. as a refugee from Georgia. “When I came to this country, I was fleeing the war, but I didn’t see actual war, I didn’t see dead bodies in the streets, I got out easy,” the artist said in a statement. “Or easier than most.”

Location: Marisa Newman Projects, 38 West 32nd Street, New York

Time: 1 p.m.–6 p.m.; closing reception 6 p.m.–8 p.m.

8. “Emily Marie Miller: Ring of Fire” at Monya Rowe Gallery, New York

Monya Rowe Gallery presents Emily Marie Miller’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. In this new body of work, Miller reimagines a condensed timeline for a female-centric world after the European witch trials in the 17th century. The paintings follow seasonal and moon cycles in which women have forged new lives and cultivated their own culture. In a departure from her previously monochromatic paintings, these works burst with color and celebrate solidarity and collaboration.

She has been part of international exhibitions in the UK, Germany, and Hong Kong.

10. “Carlito Carvalhosa: Matter As Image” at Galeria Nara Roesler, New York

This marks the first solo exhibition since the artist’s passing last year. Carvalhosa was a member of the São Paulo-based collective Grupo Casa 7 in the 1980s, along with Rodrigo Andrade, Fábio Miguez, Nuno Ramos, and Paulo Monteiro. Like his colleagues, he produced large paintings with an emphasis on pictorial gesture. In the late 1980s, after the group disintegrated, he began to experiment with encaustics, making pictures with wax and mixed pigments. In the mid-1990s, he turned to sculpture, making organic and malleable pieces with materials such as the so-called “lost waxes” and also experimented with ceramics. This comprehensive look includes works he produced between 1987 to 2021.

Location: Galeria Nara Roesler, 511 West 21st Street, New York.
Price: Free
Time: Opening reception 6-8 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

11. “Gary Petersen” at McKenzie Fine Art, New York

Make sure to see the third solo exhibition of New York-based artist, Gary Petersen, at McKenzie Fine Arts. Working in geometric abstraction, Petersen starts each painting by first sketching out forms and lines on the surface and then adding a thin layer of white paint on top. Then he uses bright, exuberant colors to map out geometric shapes and cutouts. The layer of painting underneath creates an “active spatial play” between the two surfaces. Some of the drawings from Petersen’s recent fellowship at the Bogliasco Foundation in Italy will also be on view in this show.

Location: McKenzie Fine Art, 55 Orchard Street, New York
Price: Free

British artist Marc Quinn offers his take on history painting in this exhibition of six works, mostly from the past decade, paired with Yale Center for British Art collection highlights, including examples by Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, and J. M. W. Turner. Quinn, best known for his extraordinary sculptural self-portraits made of pints of his own blood, says the recent history paintings are “about overturning art historical tropes.”

Collector and art advisor Jack Siebert presents his first curatorial project in New York City, a group show that celebrates artists whose work conjures worlds that are in some way exotic or out of touch, or disconnected from the mundane realities of everyday life. Featured artists include Amanda Baldwin, Louise Bonnet, Ariana Papademetropoulos, and Emma Webster.

14. “Nicole Wittenberg: Pastels” at SFA Advisory, New York

Art advisor Lisa Schiff presents the first exhibition dedicated to Nicole Wittenberg’s work in pastels, landscape drawings made en plein air during vacations with friends. Made quickly to capture a fleeting moment—both the view but also the fleeting conditions of the light and weather—the vibrant works on paper serve both as the source for later paintings once Wittenberg is back in the studio, and finished works in their own right.

Location: SFA Advisory, 45 White Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
