Latex Anxiety
How should we feel about Hannah Levy’s sculpture? Eminently touchable, but psychologically disturbing, her work plays into deeply seated Freudian feelings we might not want to admit we have.
The Most Fragile Blossom
Sculptor Jessica Stoller works in porcelain to communicate the fragility of earthly (feminine) beauty all the while critiquing social expectation of women’s sexuality.
Looking Forward
Are these works by Korean artist Lee Bul beautiful abstractions or works predicting a dystopian future? Feel for yourself.
Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue
Mary Corse uses the same type of paint that is used on road signs, which refracts light and almost seems to glow internally. When it’s used in the service of art, however, she proves there’s more to her paintings than paint and canvas.
Interaction of Space
Erin O’Keefe is a photographer of an interesting breed: she uses her tools to challenge our understanding of reality––even to trick us––rather than to expose it.
Life In Between the Lines
At age 104, Carmen Herrera finally has the opportunity to translate her paintings into sculpture, a project she began in the 1960s—to outsized results.
Western Dreamscape
Dominique Fung uses familiar Surrealist tropes to address Orientalism and a damaging collective fantasy of the West, insisting that the freeing of the unconscious mind might not be all good.
Water Tight
Nathlie Provosty has mastered a notoriously independent medium: watercolor. Showing a remarkable ability to control its properties, she creates pieces that feel at once liquid and solid.
South Fork Women
Before it was flooded with houses on postage stamp parcels, the South Fork of Long Island was an artist’s bohemia. This show at Kasmin celebrates eleven women who made the Hamptons their home.
Left Undone
Regina Silveira has been commissioned to create large scale public works across her native Brazil. This show of the installation artist’s unrealized works may be one of our only opportunities to see her work, but it doesn’t do it justice.
Siege of the Museum
Installation and video artist Hito Steyerl has a grasp on the complicated forces that make up the 21st century. Drill, her newest project for the Park Avenue Armory, proves she still has it.
The Spirits at the End of the World
Leonora Carrington was both a surrealist painter and writer. Wendi Norris Gallery has brought her work alive by staging a live dramatic reading in front of these sinister works.
