Continuing: Christopher Wool | See Stop Run
This survey exhibition takes place on the entire 19th floor of an unoccupied space in the heart of the financial district. The artist has chosen an independent venue in order to escape the presumed neutrality of the “white cube” as an idealized context. The city permeates the presentation through windows that wrap around the full 18,000 square foot installation. Situating Wool’s work within a specific context, where the art and its environment interact, the exhibition emphasizes the artist’s complex image-making process and the interconnectivity between mediums: painting, sculpture, photography, and mosaic.The city permeates the exhibition through windows that wrap around the full 18,000 square foot installation.

Saturday, April 6, 11am: Curators’ walkthrough: Huma Bhabha | Welcome…to the one who came
Join curator Bob Nickas and American painter Daniel Hesidence for a walkthrough of Huma Bhabha: Welcome...to the one who came, Bhabha’s debut exhibition with the gallery. Featuring a series of new sculptures, the exhibition brings diverse aesthetic, cultural, and psychological touchstones into contact with matters of surface, materiality, and formal construction.
Viewed together, [the works] suggest a narrative, the transformation of human into object and back again, living into machine, flesh into metal. They are haunting but not scary—calculated statements that emphasize the passage of time and decay but do not mourn them.” —Brian P. Kelly, Wall Street Journal
