rE-ordering architecture: making machine and material kin is an exhibition of digitally fabricated clay columns. Each column in this show presents a new “order”—a seed or fragment of a future entwinement between architecture and environment. Each of the four columns was digitally fabricated by 3D printing clay, a process which requires reconsidering anthropocentric notions of authorship, precision, and control. Featuring work by Shelby Doyle; Frank Melendez and Nancy Diniz; Kelley Van Dyck Murphy; and Jonathan A. Scelsa with Greg Sheward.

Night & Day revisits Melanie Vote's previous work from the Washhouse series, infused with a new twist. Inspired by a small work painted during the pandemic, this collection of pieces explores the themes of place, time, and impermanence. Through the juxtaposition of the tattered facade of an outbuilding of rural Iowa flooded with daylight, dropped at twilight in a New York City park, Vote challenges our perceptions of space and time. The installation invites us to consider the significance of…

FACES comprises a selection of vibrant oil pastel portraits from the daily drawing series Carri Skoczek began in 2019. The portraits are of people she admires, past and present, including artists, musicians, chefs, designers, filmmakers, and friends.

Higher Pictures presents early oil paintings by Prudence Whittlesey, selections from series the artist made in the 1990s. This is the artist’s first exhibition at the gallery. Prudence Whittlesey’s early oil painting series are painted from life at life-size or larger, an imposing scale chosen “to convey the impact upon myself of my perceptions of individuals that I sought to paint who felt overwhelmed and haunted by daily life.” These were not artists’ models; they had never sat for paintings before. Whittlesey’s…

"Linger" is a series of works by New York Studio School Artist-in-Residence Yiting Zhao. Taken from observations in her day-to-day life, Zhao's paintings depict her apartment, studio, and locations she frequently passes. The title stems from the artist's process of lingering with her paintings, emphasizing color to provoke an intimate aura and building intricate textures with various densities of paint.

A.I.R Gallery is pleased to announce old blues new bruises, a multimedia exhibition by 2022–2023 Fellow Keli Safia Maksud. This is Maksud’s first solo exhibition in New York City. Mapping and sound are at the center of old blues new bruises. Drawing from diagrammatic systems such as musical notation, architecture, and city planning, and practices of counter-mapping that are used in multiple disciplines to reclaim colonized territory, Maksud presents an aurally and visually rich environment in the gallery, including embroidery…

In never settling into the stability of objects, 2022–2023 Fellow Zoila Andrea Coc-Chang (鄭慧蘭) presents a new body of work consisting of sculptural weavings and paintings that foreground the resilience and bonds of her Chinese-Guatemalan diasporic kinship networks. Looping metals, entangled natural and synthetic fibers, and strung black beans gesture toward the intimacies and movements of her ancestors, seeding connections that honor their various migrations and everyday environments.

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Frequently the woods are pink, a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Maxine Henryson, and the artist’s fourth exhibition at the gallery. Henryson introduces a new body of work that intermixes large and medium-sized photographs with non-linear narratives in small leporellos. By using variations of the blur—through depth of field, movement, and intentional soft focus—Henryson captures photographic imagery that favors feelings and memory over traditional representation. Her poetic, painterly approach celebrates light and color.

“I have always searched for a mental form which reflects the essence of my thought, my being, and the very nature of my work…condensed into a dominant image with resonance to evoke the viewers involvement in my vision.” - Sudip CHATTERJEE, Lives/Works in Kolkata, India

She employs many devices in her methodology of making, making visible the…

Please join us for a new exhibition by renowned American installation artist and photographer Sandy Skoglund. For The Outtakes, Skoglund plumbed her archives to pick out alternative images to those used in her original tableaux. The new images are smaller, their information somehow distilled.  This exhibition includes twelve photographs and four sculptures; it is  basically a retrospective historical survey. The sculptures, of dogs, a fox, and a cat, enliven the exhibition. These works are a fresh view of her magical world…
