Your Concise New York Art Guide for September 2022

Everyone knows September to be the month of art fairs, but the big Manhattan attractions are just a few of New York’s autumnal offerings. It isn’t quite winter yet, so you can still catch the tail end of an artist-made birdhouse show beside Prospect Park. All the same, a group exhibition of politically charged textiles along the Long Island Sound packs a punch in an area otherwise flooded with wealth. Our other highlights for this month include a sanctuary of African healing out on Governors Island, colorful deconstructions of gender and sexuality, and transmissions from a post-worker dystopia in Brooklyn.

Gerardo Dexter Ciprian: Medicina de Amor

Dominican artist Dexter Ciprian’s new solo exhibition transforms deeply personal items into universal symbols of resilience. The artist breaks apart family-owned furniture pieces and reconstructs them as lanterns, bringing light to the island nation’s chronic blackouts. Likewise, he recalls the bricks of his childhood home in the Bronx through chunks of Jabón de cuaba, an all-purpose soap used throughout the diaspora. Named after a popular Dominican anthem, Medicina de Amor is a meditation on the home remedy, which becomes the first line of defense when no other support is in sight.

Mis-Shapes

If there is an ethical kind of “gender-critical,” Bushwick gallery Tiger Strikes Asteroid is nailing it. Three artists spanning South, Central, and North America — Ad Minoliti, KC Crow Maddux, and Madeline Jimenez Santil — deconstruct the social constructs of gender and sexuality, taking the uterus out of its traditional “female” context and presenting the binary as a soulless, outdated formula. In the exhibition essay, Nicolas Cuello laments how queer, nonconforming artists of color have long faced a “historical accumulation” of stigmatized discrediting despite marginal recognition in cultural institutions. Mis-Shapes is thus the antecedent, providing bodily and formal experimentations with space to breathe.

Installation view of Threading the Needle (photo by Gary Mamay, courtesy The Church, Sag Harbor)

Threading the Needle

The aesthetics of sewing unite this group show of living and deceased textile artists. The late poet Edel Adnan’s warmly hued tapestries portray her lifetime of longing, contrasted by the vigorous protest rugs of Philadelphia-based Tabitha Arnold and Mexican artist Margarita Cabrera’s cacti made of border patrol uniforms. Despite their different styles, a shared textural foundation hints at the medium’s gendered and often political history. Threading the Needle thus centers the labor of marginalization, and in turn the marginalization of labor.

Eros Rising: Visions of the Erotic in Latin American Art

The 10 artists in ISLAA’s Eros Rising ruminate on the unpredictable joys of being truly felt in one’s own skin, exchanging outward sexuality for colorful abstraction. Skin tones in Wynnie Mynerva’s sparse watercolors are reflected in Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro’s non-objective charcoal sketches, culminating in Oscar Bony’s photograph of two anonymous tongues forever on the verge of contact. Influenced by the pastels of Argentinian conceptualist David Lamelas, Eros Rising translates the simple act of touch into a revelation that can affirm one’s understanding of self and truth.

Unlisted: Underappreciated Women

Historian Michael Lobel recently noted the market-centric pitfalls of labeling artists as “forgotten.” Accordingly, Derfner Judaica’s Unlisted tells the stories of several Jewish modernists through the lens of patriarchal erasure. Expressionist portraits by Lithuanian artist Yuli Blumberg appear alongside abstracted wild horses by Romanian painter Magdalena Rădulescu and jagged non-representational pieces by Nadia Gould and Gertrude Perrin. Presented in-person and online, these colorful, challenging works expand our understanding of how war, faith, and immigration shaped mid-century artists, reinforcing that the “Ninth Street Women” were hardly alone.

Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum: I have withheld much more than I have written

Pamela Sunstrum has already lived many lives in the United States, Africa, and Southeast Asia. But as her latest exhibition title reveals, much of that experience has yet to be expressed. Thus, the individual painted canvases that comprise I have withheld — many of which are paired into diptychs or built into three-dimensional installations — together form a surreal tableau of placelessness. Sunstrum layers denim jeans, volcanic mountains, palm trees, and checkered tiles into visions of kaleidoscopic splendor, as if drawing from overflowing wells of memory. Perhaps, then, the artist is more prepared to speak than she lets on.

For the Birds

The phrase “for the birds” often carries a dismissive connotation, yet the Brooklyn Botanic Garden means it literally. Dedicated to its diverse avian life, For the Birds scatters colorful artist-made birdhouses throughout the grounds, all designed and placed specifically to foster community. From a blue heron fishing platform to a crow’s nest of trash and a tiny communal sculpture garden, these makeshift maisons serve each species’ survival needs and bring a bit more color to the lush landscape.

LaJuné McMillian: The Black Movement Library

LaJuné McMillian’s dynamic Black Movement Library series synthesizes the Black radical tradition and political unrest today. Using archives of motion-capture data collected from misrepresented Black performers and character base models, McMillian recreates their movements while wearing perception neuron motion-capture suits. Recordings from their many public workshops and performances with artists Roobi Gaskins, Renaldo Maurice, Ntu, Roukijah Rooks, and RaFia Santana show the Brooklyn Public Library’s entire facade illuminated as they dance to a crowd of onlookers. Drawing from archival footage of peoples’ movements around the world, McMillian’s work collapses the time between revolutions, warning us how quickly the inroads can be reversed.

Elissa Blount-Moorhead and Bradford Young: Back and Song

On Governors Island, a two-person show examines the poetics of health in the African diaspora. Blount-Moorhead and Young collaborated on four-channel films and installations set within the dark, desolate Lower Gallery of the Arts Center, juxtaposing personal testimonies of doctors, morticians, and health aids with clips of meditations and ritual performances. Equally critical and cleansing, Back and Song rejects the dominating singularity of Western colonial medicine, rooting generations of Black healing in community and lived experience.

Rodrigo Valenzuela: New Works for a Post-Workers’ World

Two photo series by Rodrigo Valenzuela, Afterwork and Weapons, imagine what may have happened if machinery actually made workers obsolete. For each shoot, he assembled elaborate, dystopian scenes out of old wood and scrap metal, concocting surreal yet familiar representations of what he calls a “post-workers’ world.” Drawing heavily from conceptual art and communist theory, Valenzuela depicts industrialism as a dehumanizing force that led capitalists to believe machinery would replace an imperfect and increasingly demanding laborer. Housed within a structure the artist built inside BRIC House, New Works for a Post-Workers’ World portrays a public sphere where the cause of labor is defeated, and it seems pretty terrifying.

Your Concise New York Art Guide for August 2022

The dog days of summer are quickly approaching, and New York’s art spaces are providing some welcome respite. As we ride out a prolonged heat wave, some exhibitions are embracing the casual calm of the city in late summer, with others reminding us to stay focused on the political challenges ahead. Our highlights for August include excavations of feminist surrealism, retrospectives dedicated to underground legends, and contemporary perspectives on print media. Stay cool out there, y’all.

Portia Munson, “Bound Angel” (2021) (photo by Lance Brewer, courtesy the artist and P·P·O·W)

When: through August 19
Where: P·P·O·W Gallery (392 Broadway, Tribeca, Manhattan)

Portia Munson’s latest solo show at PPOW is a delightful smorgasbord of high-femme ephemera. Installations, sculptures, and drawings explore the artist’s preoccupation with kink, introversion, nihilism, and romance. Drenched in shades of white and hot pink, Munson’s angels are bound not just by rope but also a deep desire to carve out a heaven of their own making.

Mariana Parisca, “to: Insulated Investments (after Fort Knox)” (2020) (courtesy the artist and CUE Art Foundation)

When: through September 2
Where: CUE Art Foundation (137 West 25th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan)

At CUE Art Foundation, three Latin American artists explore the meaning of currency in Chile, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico. Tropical fruits appear hardwired, while bank vaults radiate warm neon from behind cold steel doors. Rather than portraying an exchange for goods, Gatica, Parisca, and Torres-Ferrer depict money as inherently ideological and extractive, revealing how exploitation is always present even when not detectable.

Installation view, A Few Small Nips at Mrs. (photo by Olympia Shannon, courtesy Mrs.)

When: through August 12
Where: Mrs. (60-40 56th Drive, Maspeth, Queens)

The latest group exhibition at Mrs. aims to confront our surreal reality. Referencing Frida Kahlo’s 1935 painting of the same name, A Few Small Nips addresses the performance of womanhood, from the subtle disguises women wear to the social construction of female gender identity. Drawing from mid-century Surrealism, nine artists explore internal and external pressures forced on them — from beauty branding to political violence and religious fundamentalism — reimagining femininity as a realm where anything is possible.

Installation view, Unfolding Forms: Multiple Approaches to the Book (courtesy Miriam Gallery)

When: through August 21
Where: Miriam Gallery (319 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

In recent years, art book criticism has shifted to embrace analyses of the physical object itself. From photo monographs to chapbooks and zines, print has become an auxiliary format to the ideas presented within, leading artists to experiment with physical distribution. Miriam Gallery’s new group exhibition visualizes this critique in a series of contemporary artist-made books, showing how online and social media has influenced perspectives around self-promotion.

Installation view, Forever Is Twice as Long from the Ground (photo by Stan Narten, courtesy Anna Zorina Gallery)

When: through August 19
Where: Anna Zorina Gallery (532 West 24th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan)

For Azikiwe Mohammed, the last two years have proven the limits of working for change from within the system. In his immersive new exhibition, the mixed-media artist carves out space for people of color to exist autonomously. Gorgeous paintings on wooden boards appear on the wall and are folded into standing human forms across Anna Zorina Gallery, with LED fixtures illuminating their technicolor palettes. Dreamy and defiant, Forever Is Twice As Long From The Ground aims to radicalize rather than lead to despair.

Vincent Namatjira, “Elizabeth and Vincent (on Country)” (2021) (courtesy the artist, Iwantja Arts, and Fort Gansevoort)

When: through August 20
Where: Fort Gansevoort (5 Ninth Avenue, West Village, Manhattan)

Fort Gansevoort’s latest group exhibition brings together three artists from Iwantja Arts, one of 11 Indigenous-owned Aboriginal arts centers on Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands. Following their online exhibition last year, Namatjira, Whiskey, and Yatangki blend brightly colored Indulkana symbolism with British and American iconography, referencing Western influence in Australia and the joys of spoofing the oppressor.

Installation view, The Tale Their Terror Tells (photo by Charles Benton, courtesy Lyles & King)

When: through August 12
Where: Lyles & King (21 Catherine Street, Lower East Side, Manhattan)

Climate change isn’t a monolithic disaster. As we have seen, its effects manifest in myriad ways at different times all over the world. As such, Lyles & King’s diverse group show provides some concrete examples, fusing ecology with horror. Broken, dead trees impale bodily forms as dark, polluted ravines fester on the gallery walls. Curated by Geena Brown and Lauren Guilford from more than 20 mixed-media artists, The Tale Their Terror Tells insists that symptoms of our self-inflicted apocalypse are already evident, and that art can help us interpret the signs.

Installation view of We Flew Over the Wild Winds of Wild Fires (courtesy the artists and MOTHER)

When: through September 18
Where: MOTHER Beacon (1154 North Avenue, Beacon, New York)

Zoë Buckman and Vanessa German are all too familiar with mainstream media’s disregard for non-White and queer people. As such, their latest exhibition at MOTHER Gallery’s upstate outpost is a study of political resilience. German’s sculptures and paintings play on racialized stereotypes and depict Black women over pages of the United States Constitution, complementing Buckman’s meditative and propagandistic tapestries. Focusing on oppression within the imperial core, the artists establish common ground in collective forms of refusal and survival.

Honor Titus, “Thy Margent Green” (2022) (photo by Steven Probert, courtesy FLAG Art Foundation)

When: through August 12
Where: FLAG Art Foundation (545 West 25th Street, 9th Floor, Chelsea, Manhattan)

FLAG Art Foundation’s current Spotlight show features a new large-scale painting by artist and musician Honor Titus. Balancing a love of elegance with class consciousness, Titus strives for beauty in increasingly tenuous social conditions. Portraits substitute faces for flowers, heightening style over identity, or otherwise convey highly personalized scenes of love and friendship. Interchanging intimacy and anonymity, Titus’s work focuses on fractured personal relations, yearning for a past that perhaps never existed.

When: through December 31
Where: Asia Society Museum (725 Park Avenue, Upper East Side, Manhattan)

Asia Society’s latest group exhibition explores an up-and-coming generation of artists who came of age during the liberalization of China’s economy. Unlike their predecessors, these seven young conceptualists move beyond traditional Chinese motifs to critique the fast-paced changes experienced in their lifetime so far. Sculptures, video installations, and photographic works confront Western corporate infiltration while ruminating on queerness and censorship, revealing forms of self-reflection that elide concrete definition.

When: through March 4, 2023
Where: New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (40 Lincoln Center Plaza, Upper West Side, Manhattan)

Lou Reed passed away in 2013, but archivists are still studying the mark he left on New York’s counterculture. The late art-rock icon is receiving his first-ever retrospective exhibition at the New York Public Library, pairing with the release of rare tracks (including particularly lovely 1965 demos of “I’m Waiting for the Man” and “Heroin”). Archival materials from the Velvet Underground years are on display with seldom-seen photographs and sound art installations featuring his most controversial recordings, exemplifying how his work still provokes artists today.

Jamel Shabazz, “Rush Hour. Brooklyn, NY” (1980) (courtesy the artist and Bronx Museum of the Arts)

When: through September 4
Where: Bronx Museum of the Arts (1040 Grand Concourse, The Bronx)

Jamel Shabazz is among the most iconic street photographers New York City has ever known. A lifelong Brooklyn resident, Shabazz has captured the innocence and joy of the borough’s Black communities since the 1980s, creating portraits that continue to resonate for their candid charm. His latest retrospective at the Bronx Museum is one of the largest collections of his photographs to be displayed, providing a bit of healing to a blistering summer.

Your Concise New York Art Guide for July 2022

Installation view of Lizania Cruz: Every Immigrant Is a Writer/Todo Inmigrante Es un Escritor (2022) (photo by Shark Senesac, courtesy the International Studio & Curatorial Program)

Cancer season has arrived once again, and us water signs are embracing the creative impulse. Across the city, new art exhibitions pay tribute to overlooked masters of their craft, address the urgency of direct political action, and evoke a shared sense of nostalgia. Our top exhibitions for July include installations on the global climate crisis, pedagogical studies of Japanese photographers, and a throughline between ancient and contemporary printing traditions.

When: through July 9
Where: 47 Canal (291 Grand Street, Second Floor, Lower East Side, Manhattan)

Last year, Ajay Kurian told BOMB magazine that he envisioned two future exhibitions in his mind that were “loosely about failed escape: one where we’re in the process of leaving the planet and mourning the loss of it. And the other where we’re somewhere else and mourning our circumstances there.” This latter idea, which addresses the neocolonial tendency of space exploration, forms the basis of his latest series. The mounted foam core sculptures of Missing Home are cerebral and celestial. From afar, they merge ancient Indian sculpture techniques with Rorschach test imagery; up close, they reveal microcosmic worlds that appear to float serenely in the gallery space.

Zulu Padilla beside one of his works from Everything Is Migrating (image courtesy the artist)

When: through July 23
Where: The Compound Cowork (1120 Washington Avenue, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn)

Zulu Padilla’s newest series merges two seemingly unlikely developments: the seasonal migration of warbler birds and queer cruising in Prospect Park. Padilla’s colorful mixed media and photo collages draw visual comparisons between used condoms, which degrade down to just rings, and the life cycles of the small birds who visit the city once a year. Everything Is Migrating brings to mind the varied meanings of flight in New York, and how gentrification influences Brooklyn’s nature and culture.

Yasuhiro Ishimoto, “Japan” (c. 1950s–60s) (image courtesy Alison Bradley Projects)

When: through July 29
Where: Alison Bradley Projects (526 West 26th Street, Suite 814, Chelsea, Manhattan)

Renowned Japanese artist Tokuko Ushioda is largely known for her series Bibliotheca (2017), which uplifted books and printed ephemera as valid art objects. Her latest exhibition, From Student to Master, traces the pedagogical influence of Ushioda’s lesser-known mentors, Yasuhiro Ishimoto and Kiyoji Ōtsuji. Presented together, their intimate images of domestic scenes and streetscapes illustrate the private and public lives of Japanese photographers long before they were strongly represented in the field.

Untitled painting by Lee Lozano (1963) (photo by Stefan Altenburg, courtesy Hauser & Wirth)

When: through July 29
Where: Hauser & Wirth (542 West 22nd Street, Chelsea and 32 East 69th Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan)

Hauser & Wirth’s summer programming highlights two accomplished women artists. Before her well-known “General Strike Piece” (1969), which marked the artist’s subsequent withdrawal from the industry, Lee Lozano created warm yet haunting minimalist oil paintings that elide stylistic definition. Meanwhile, a Cindy Sherman photo retrospective focuses on the prolific artist’s early series of staged images made between 1977 and ’82, the five-year period in which her many character studies reached a high point of productivity.

Installation view, Between Worlds – Mokuhanga (image courtesy Kentler International Drawing Space)

When: through July 31
Where: Kentler International Drawing Space (353 Van Brunt Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn)

Two group exhibitions at the Red Hook gallery trace the influence of Japanese printing traditions on contemporary artists. Mokuhanga takes its name from the water-based technique explored by artists-in-residence at the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory in Yamanashi prefecture, which forms the basis of the exhibition. And in Focus on the Flatfiles, a group of these artists who go by the Mokuhanga Sisters curated a related series of works from Kentler’s permanent collection. Together, the two shows detail the discipline and precision of a time-honored artform and chart its future as a collective practice.

Stacey Davidson, “Boatload” (2022) (image courtesy FiveMyles)

When: through July 17 and 31
Where: FiveMyles (558 Saint John’s Place, Crown Heights, Brooklyn)

Stacey Davidson’s “Boatload” will likely be a familiar scene for many viewers. Made with dolls, red Solo cups, and miniature American flags, the hanging installation depicts the bizarre camp of white nationalism in the United States. Floating in a sea of dead air, the piece is on display at the Crown Heights mainstay’s Plus/Space 24 hours a day. And in the main gallery, Tuçe Yasak’s summer residency Light Is Generous creates space for silent introspection, with colorful lights and shadowplay on reflective sculptural installations.

Francheska Alcántara, “Hispan@s y Candad@s” (2018) (image courtesy the artist and Recess)

When: July 21–August 13
Where: Recess (46 Washington Avenue, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn)

Bronx-based Dominicanx artist Francheska Alcántara is deconstructing cultural symbols of the Caribbean diaspora. Through an examination of “loaded objects,” such as brown paper bags and Hispano Cuaba soap, the artist unpacks histories of racial coding and governance over queer bodies. The gallery-wide installation at Recess will also allow visitors to play a makeshift game of dominoes as an allegory for breaking down layers of oppression.

Clay maquette for “Cutting Through Mountains to Bring in Water” (1958), artist Liu Shiming depicted on the right (image courtesy Godwin-Ternbach Museum)

When: July 6–August 18
Where: Godwin-Ternbach Museum (Klapper Hall at Queens College, 65-30 Kissena Boulevard, Flushing, Queens)

Chinese sculptor Liu Shiming passed away in 2010, but his art is only now receiving its due here in New York. His new retrospective brings together 62 works from his five-decade career, including his post-Revolution beginnings to Rodin-inspired surrealism. Positioned as China’s first truly modern sculptor, Shiming worked with bronze, wood, and ceramic to honor daily life in the People’s Republic using traditional and folk techniques. Rather than an assimilationist, he envisioned a world in which everyday Chinese people could be appreciated worldwide as complex and vital beings.

Steven Anthony Johnson, “Multi-tasking” (2022) (image courtesy the artist)

When: through August 12 and 26
Where: International Studio & Curatorial Program (1040 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

Two participants of the North Brooklyn arts residency address historical trauma in the African diaspora. In Every Immigrant Is a Writer, Dominican artist Lizania Cruz presents her traveling series We the News, a wood newsstand containing written and printed testimonies from migrants around the world. Meanwhile, Steven Anthony Johnson II’s Getting Blood from Stone translates the artist’s interviews with family and friends into fragmentary sketches and sound collages that resonate across the gallery. Together, their work forms a shared vernacular of displacement and resilience.

Anas Albraehe, “Untitled” (2021) (image courtesy the artist and Anita Rogers Gallery)

When: through August 27
Where: Anita Rogers Gallery (494 Greenwich Street, Tribeca, Manhattan)

Syrian painter Anas Albraehe places marginalized men in compromising positions. The laborers and refugees in his expressionist paintings appear asleep in random public spaces, speaking to the layers of fatigue and exposure that stem from immigration. Bringing the styles of Matisse and Gauguin into landscapes from the artist’s current hometown of Beirut, The Dreamer visualizes the migrant experience of lying in wait for something unknown and unguaranteed.

Cannupa Hanska Luger, “Future Ancestral Technologies—New Myth” (2021) (photo by Stefan Hagen, courtesy Wave Hill and Garth Greenan Gallery)

When: through August 28
Where: Wave Hill Public Garden & Sculptural Center (4900 Independence Avenue, Riverdale, the Bronx)

It’s no secret that we are in the midst of a clean water shortage. Rampant desertification is leading people in African countries to leave their homes, exacerbating the global refugee crisis. Climate change, too, is melting polar ice caps and setting forests ablaze across the Western hemisphere, threatening the lives of Indigenous water protectors. With all this in mind, Wave Hill’s Water Scarcity draws from histories of resistance, with site-specific installations by Tahir Carl Karmali, Cannupa Hanska Luger, and Lucy and Jorge Orta highlighting nomadic and communal modes of survival.

Dr. Charles Smith’s Hammond, Louisiana site (2001–present) (photo by Fred Scruton, courtesy White Columns)

When: July 8–September 10
Where: White Columns (91 Horatio Street, West Village, Manhattan)

Dr. Charles Smith claims God once told him to make art as an antidote to his suffering. A Vietnam War veteran and ordained minister, Smith heeded the call by turning his family homes in Illinois and Louisiana into wondrous outdoor sculpture gardens called the African-American History Museum + Black Veterans’ Archive. More than 30 new figurative sculptures comprise his first solo show in New York City, hearkening to his experience exploring legacies of slavery in the United States and teaching himself sculpture as a remedy to personal trauma.
