After three years of programming, it is with both celebration and sweet sorrow that Undercurrent presents their final exhibition, Meet On the Ledge. Becky Brown, Julia Dzwonkoski, and Kyla Kegler will exhibit works from their individual practices of painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance along with collaborative elements that fuse into a humorous and colorful dialogue of existence, presence, and identity in an anxiety-fueled world. Amidst endless and confusing ecosystems of labels, tech interfaces, disorders, data sorting, cataloging, and our consumer…

Archeology of a Studio is a collection of works—sculptures, prints, and drawings—that unfold over a period of five decades, each standing in for a particular moment in time. Pachner views the works in this exhibition like shells strewn along the beach, the leavings of distant sparks. Still there is a reaching out—hand stretched toward that vitality—and then a falling back. Failures/steps; there it stands. The story could be told this way or that way. Pachner chose chisels, adzes, files, and…

Dial Tone, a solo exhibition by 2021–22 A.I.R. Fellow Dana Robinson, features a new body of work, including a monoprint on wood panel and collaged archival material preserved in plastic shadow boxes. Robinson’s work addresses the cycles of maintenance and transformation that people, and the materials they inhabit, undergo when they are preserved. Using vintage Black media, she pulls images of people out of the pages and gives them a new life.

In recent years, 2021–2022 A.I.R. Fellow Phoebe Osborne has generated distinctive works that follow the incommensurable currents of transing and the care it generates. As the latest outcome of this practice, Across this really tall field again in the dark brings drawing, lip syncing, and vibratory residue to act as storytellers, gathering seemingly fragmented details and lacing them together as a stealth walk in the night.

Minus Space is delighted to present Gabriele Evertz: Path, a solo exhibition of new, large-format color paintings by the Brooklyn-based artist. This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. Gabriele Evertz’s new paintings originated at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020 as she responded to and reflected upon the notions of restriction, adversity, distress, and sorrow. She asked herself the question – “what to do now?” – and concluded that our moment called for continuity…

Janet Borden, Inc. is pleased to announce a new exhibition of vintage color photographs by Jan Groover. Bottles, utensils, and fruit are the vocabulary Groover uses for these formalist studies of color and space. These 30x40” prints were produced when she made the negatives, 1989-1991. They represent the backbone of her formalist approach to photography, where the mundane turns magical. Curious items abound, but the photographs are not about the curious elements; they are about the light, the planes, the…

The Cuban Art Space is continuing its homage to Cienfuegos' Maroya Gallery Director Miguel Angel Rodriguez, who succumbed to COVID one year ago. His support for these and other artists there helped to create a special kind of embracing art community. These five artists, together with Montebravo and Wayacón, were among the very first artists shown by the Center, and we continue to honor their commitment to their art. Opening reception: Saturday, September 10, 2022, 4–6 PM. Special 50th anniversary…

The FRESH 2022 Annual Photography Exhibition is co-curated by Darren Ching and Debra Klomp Ching. Finalists are selected on the basis of having demonstrated a strong vision, excellence in craftsmanship, and potential to expand and grow their creative practice. Of the photographers, some are already known, whilst others are just beginning to carve out their place within the contemporary art scene. Well-resolved projects sit beside those that are just beginning to be fleshed out. Wherever they are in their state…

Smack Mellon presents Luba Drozd’s first large scale solo exhibition in New York City in conjunction with the launch of the Close Readings exhibition series. This exhibition is curated in conjunction with the concurrent group exhibition The Dissolution caus’d by Fire is in all Bodies, featuring works by Leah Beeferman, Mimi Park, and Charisse Pearlina Weston, in addition to a photographic print by Paul Strand. In a sprawling installation comprising construction materials–drywall, steel beams, and sheet metal–and motors attached to…

Smack Mellon presents a group exhibition featuring works by Leah Beeferman (with soundtracks by Byron Westbrook, Olli Aarni, and Bryce Hackford), Mimi Park, and Charisse Pearlina Weston, in addition to a photographic print by Paul Strand. This exhibition accompanies a large-scale commission by Luba Drozd in Smack Mellon’s main gallery, The Tenacity of a Fluid Trace. Both exhibitions take their titles from a historical text written in 1743 by Francesco Serao detailing his observations of Mount Vesuvius shortly after a…

Based in traditional material practices, Ruth Jeyaveeran’s work explores our tenuous relationship to the natural world. Drawing from her experience as part of the South Asian diaspora, Jeyaveeran examines the connections between our bodies, our communities, and nature as a way to confront feelings of otherness, alienation, and dissociation. Her process celebrates the repetitive motions of making using ancient craft traditions. Wool is primal, spiritual, and bound to nature. Textiles, a source of warmth and shelter, are a tactile antidote…

A group show featuring a range of dynamic approaches to still life painting by ten artists.
