56 HENRY https://56henry.nyc/ 56 Henry Street
Richard Tinkler / Seven Paintings October 15 - November 25, 2020 56 HENRY shows seven paintings by Richard Tinkler. As if seen through a kaleidoscope or under the spell of deep meditation, the works often begin with a shared process before iterative reimagining delivers each to a novel conclusion.
Andrew Edlin Gallery https://www.edlingallery.com/ 212 Bowery
The Double-Sided Dominions of Henry Darger Through November 28 "The Double-Sided Dominions of Henry Darger” features nine double-sided watercolor drawings, eighteen compositions in all, by the renowned enigmatic outsider artist. While working as a hospital janitor in Chicago, Henry Darger (1892-1973) wrote a 15,000-page fantasy-adventure novel and created a number of watercolor, graphite and carbon-traced drawings that were informed by his epic story. These narrative scenes depicted his novel’s heroines, the seven plucky Vivian sisters, and their prepubescent comrades embroiled in numerous exploits battling sadistic, child-enslaving villains known as the Glandelinians.

Jake Clark and Half sandwich and Matzo Ball Soup November 12 - December 13, 2020 Australian based ceramicist Jake Clark's work offers homages to NYC’s most treasured food establishments. Clark’s vibrant and animated style monumentalizes these restaurants into keepsake sculptures that convey the joy of dining out.
Bridget Donahue https://www.bridgetdonahue.nyc/ 99 Bowery, 2nd Floor
Kim Jones: RATS LIVE ON NO EVIL STAR November 12, 2020 - January 9, 2021 In his first exhibition at Bridget Donahue, Kim Jones fills the gallery with selections from five decades of sculpture, performance documentation, drawing and painting. Jones’s experience as a soldier in the Vietnam War has influenced his artistic production, as well as his experience using leg braces after an illness restricting his ability to walk at the age of seven. The exhibition traces Jones's works since the 1970s, when under the performance persona known as Mudman, Jones strapped a labyrinthine wooden apparatus onto his back and obscured his face with sheer pantyhose while walking eighteen miles from end to end of Wilshire Boulevard.
Bureau http://bureau-inc.com/mainsite/Exhibitions/2020/CalebConsidine.html 178 Norfolk Street
Caleb Considine: Iodized Salt November 14, 2020 - January 9, 2021 This is Caleb Considine’s third solo exhibition at Bureau. Considine works from life, focusing increasingly on cityscapes and objects set up in his studio. In the five paintings and two drawings in this show, aspects of still life and landscape merge. Equally distributed attention to detail sits nestled within an outward facing formal orientation toward the paintings as objects.
carriage trade http://www.carriagetrade.org 277 Grand Street, Floor 2
Everybody Dies! Nuotama Bodomo, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Francisco Goya, Melchior Grossek, Dorothea Lange, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, Bill Miller, Diane Nerwen, John Schabel, Jim Shaw November 19 - January 21, 2021 Taking its title from Nuotama Bodomo’s 2016 film, "Everybody Dies!", which features Tonya Pinkins as a fictitious public access TV host Ripa the (grim) Reaper who "teaches black kids about the day they'll die”, this exhibition will explore the theme of death through social, political, and metaphysical perspectives.
Cristin Tierney Gallery https://www.cristintierney.com/ 219 Bowery, Floor 2
Victor Burgin: Young Oaks November 13 - December 19 The exhibition presents new prints by Victor Burgin, inspired by the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi.
David Lewis https://davidlewisgallery.com/ 88 Eldridge Street, Fifth Floor
Thornton Dial, Dial World, Part I: The Tiger That Flew over New York City October 24th - December 20th The Tiger that Flew Over New York City was inspired by Dial’s first trip to New York City. He describes the city as a radiant agglomeration of gleaming white towers, below which are clustered the brown tenements of the oppressed. Above, in the corner, fly- ing but also perhaps trapped, is an image of Dial himself as the Tiger: the image of struggle—the struggle for life, liberation, and justice, an allegorical self-portrait emblem throughout Dial’s work.
DEREK ELLER GALLERY https://www.derekeller.com/ 300 Broome Street
Melissa Brown "NYNY2020" & Steve DiBenedetto "Neon Bog" November 19 - December 19 Derek Eller Gallery is pleased to present "NYNY2020", an exhibition of new paintings by Melissa Brown. In this series, Brown uses her daily experiences, routines, and movements in and around New York City over the past year as portals into perceptual shifts and distortions caused by collisions between imagined, observed, and digital realities. Derek Eller Gallery is pleased to present "Neon Bog", a solo show of new paintings by Steve DiBenedetto which continues his investigation of organic oddities, cubist structures, and vast mazes of interconnection.
Equity Gallery https://www.nyartistsequity.org/ 245 Broome Street
"With the Grain" — A group exhibition curated by Patricia Fabricant November 5 – November 28 "With the Grain" explores a wide range of artists who work directly with wood grain and how they implement its natural visual rhythm and aesthetic into their work. The exhibition, which showcases the strong yet fragile beauty of trees and the art they inspire, is both timeless and timely.
FIERMAN http://www.fierman.nyc 127 Henry Street
Dietmar Busse : Today I wanted to die again October 30-December 13 FIERMAN presents Today I wanted to die again, a solo exhibition by German-born New York-based artist Dietmar Busse. It is the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. Previously known for his altered silver gelatin prints based in his own photography, Busse in this show has eschewed photographic reproduction entirely in a radical departure in the medium.
Foxy Production https://www.foxyproduction.com/ 2 East Broadway, 200
Figura: Kamrooz Aram, Rafal Bujnowski, Sojourner Truth Parsons, Lady Pink, Idelle Weber. November 7 – December 20 "Figura" considers the ever-changing function of the figure in art. Beyond the resemblance of a person in real life, the figure’s signification, across time and cultures, has constantly evolved through socio-political, philosophical and religious lenses. The works in the exhibition embody, in varying ways and to differing degrees, this primary paradox of the represented subject. As if viewed through a prism, their use of repetition, dissonance, refraction, and displacement presents bodies as sensuous and concrete on one the hand, and transformative, historicized, and abstracted on the other.
Freight+Volume http://www.freightandvolume.com/exhibitions/james-hyde-public-sculpture 97 Allen Street
James Hyde | Public Sculpture November 12 – January 1 Freight+Volume is excited to announce Public Sculpture, an exhibition of new paintings by James Hyde. Continuing the photographic/ painterly integrations and contradictions of West, his last show at the gallery, this new body of work uses public sculpture to explore the relationship of materiality to picture making.Public Sculpture reflects Hyde’s enduring fascination with unexpected supports for painting, the created landscape, and the use of materials as painting strokes and marks.
Front Room Gallery http://www.garveysimon.com 48 Hester Street
Daisy Craddock: Harvest October 29 - November 22, 2020 Drawn from life, Daisy Craddock considers her diptychs to be literal depictions of her fruit and vegetable subjects: skin on the left side, and flesh on the right. When seen from a distance, Craddock’s produce-portraits appear to be abstract blocks of color. Locally-sourced from markets around her studio in Germantown, New York, and grown from hand in her backyard garden, the works in Harvest comprise a visual history of this year’s crop. frosch&portmann http://www.froschportmann.com/index.html 53 Stanton Street
Eva Lake. Cactus Flowers October 22 - November 29 frosch&portmann is pleased to present Cactus Flowers, Eva Lake’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. The show includes two recent collage series by the Portland (OR) based artist. The "Cactus Flower" series imbue vintage Arizona landscape images with fractured portraits of mid-century modern women. The show also includes works from Eva Lake’s recent Nurses series. She began these collages in early March with images of World War II nurses, but considering the universalized mask-wearing amid the pandemic, Lake realized, “We were all practicing our medicine in some way.”
GRIMM https://grimmgallery.com 202 Bowery
Tjebbe Beekman October 22 - November 25 GRIMM is proud to announce Tjebbe Beekman’s (b. 1972, Leiden, NL) first solo exhibition in New York. Tjebbe Beekman’s paintings are disquiet and complex, comprised of embedded layers of dense paint and found materials. In his latest series of paintings, Beekman’s approach to his medium and subject matter abolish any set hierarchy when referencing the avant-garde art of the last century; in this way, his works can be perceived as exploring a disruptive, even anarchistic mode of representation.
Helena Anrather https://helenaanrather.com/ 28 Elizabeth Street
Baris Gokturk, Public Secret 25 September-22 November Helena Anrather is pleased to present Public Secret, Baris Gokturk’s first solo exhibition in New York. Comprising a new body of large-scale paintings using image-transfer and layered mixed media, the show expands Gokturk’s ongoing investigation of the slippages between the formal elements of painting and the conceptual relationship between image and meaning in the wider cultural and political context while extending and exposing the archeology of the painted surface.
James Cohan https://www.jamescohan.com/exhibitions/jordan-nassar 291 Grand Street
Jordan Nassar: I Cut The Sky In Two October 23 - November 21 This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with James Cohan. Jordan Nassar’s hand-embroidered works address intersecting fields of craft, ethnicity and the embedded notions of heritage and homeland.
James Fuentes LLC https://jamesfuentes.com/ 55 Delancey Street
Purvis Young November 11 - December 6 James Fuentes is pleased to announce an extended exhibition of the work of PURVIS YOUNG (1943–2010), presented at the gallery’s physical location at 55 Delancey St, New York as well as through James Fuentes Online. Spanning work from the mid-1970s through the ‘80s and ‘90s, the exhibition is divided into two parts, each revealing formal and thematic resonances that together reflect the great breadth of Young’s prescient work. Works in the exhibition are for sale from the collection of the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation.
Kai Matsumiya http://kaimatsumiya.com/ 153 1/2 Stanton Street
Craig Kalpakjian October 17 - January 9 Craig Kalpakjian’s second solo exhibition at Kai Matsumiya expands the artist’s most recently realized works engaging technologies of power, social control, and the abstraction of late capitalist systems, while effecting the transformation of space throughout the gallery.
Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery https://klausgallery.com/ 54 Ludlow Street
Mask - featuring: Amna Asghar, Leilah Babirye, Donna Chung, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Nicole Eisenman, Tamara Gonzales, Rachel Harrison, Arnold Kemp, David Kennedy Cutler, Michael Mahalchick, Demetrius Oliver, Sarah Peters, David Torres, Stacy Lynn Waddell, David Wojnarowicz October 23 - November 28 Images and idea of masks are spotlit in the practices of 15 contemporary artists. Masks protect and pervert, decorate and distort, provide clues towards identity while potentially obscuring easy readings. The artists in this show approach masks from myriad vantages and explore their multiple meanings through painting, ceramic, sculpture, photography, video, animation, and performance.
Krause Gallery https://www.krausegallery.com/ 149 Orchard Street
“Happy Happy Joy Joy” - Joe Suzuki and Thirsty Bstrd November 12 - December 31 Satirical Neo Pop two person art show based on some of the biggest art names today.
LICHTUNDFIRE https://www.lichtundfire.com 175 Rivington Street, New York, NY 10002
COVERT-19 Part 3. PERPETUAL ELLIPSE. With Henry Biber, Leslie Ford, Augustus Goertz & Arlene Santana. Curated by Priska Juschka. Concept by Augustus Goertz. Work in various media created in 2020 during COVID-19 & not yet exhibited. Extended through November 21, 2020 The exhibition is Part 3 of an Exhibition Series, and marks the gallery's 5-Year- Anniversary, with work in various media created behind closed doors during the spring, summer and early fall of the pandemic of Covid-19. This exhibition brings together four artists whose work ranges from the poetic minimal to the abstract lyrical in painting and arches process work mixing different media as well as ‘simply’ oil on canvas. More than its predecessors, this exhibition keeps its eye on abstraction and focuses on a seductive reduction of expressions of both equally complex and universally basic observations.
Lubov http://www.lubov.nyc 5 E Broadway, #402
Jenna Westra, Afternoons September 27–November 22 New photographs by Jenna Westra M 2 3 https://www.m23.co 24 Henry Street

Magenta Plains http://magentaplains.com/ 94 Allen St.

Total Running Time features a site-specific installation of video projections, photographic light boxes and photo collages printed on layered transparencies and paper, continuing an employment of several recurring strategies to address slippage in memory and language particular to race and visibility.
MARC STRAUS GALLERY https://www.marcstraus.com/ 299 Grand Street
Moris Until December 12, 2020 For his inaugural exhibition with MARC STRAUS, Moris has created new works in his signature collage on canvas style, often incorporating found objects from the streets surrounding his studio. Moris grew up and continues to live and work in a Cartel-run area outside Mexico City.
‘Turtle Island’ Marie Watt Until December 12, 2020 Marie Watt is a citizen of the Seneca Nation, the largest of six Nations in the Iroquois Confederacy. Mythologies and history from her Native American heritage inform her process and are seamlessly interwoven in her art with commentary on international politics and pop culture references.
Martos Gallery http://www.martosgallery.com/ 41 Elizabeth St
TARWUK: Bijeg u noć November 13 - January 9 Martos Gallery is pleased to present its first exhibition with TARWUK, the collaborative duo of Bruno Pogačnik Tremow and Ivana Vukšić. Originally from Croatia, now based in New York, the artists have been working together since 2014 under a shared name meant to signal an entwining of identity towards a common purpose: four hands, one mind. Their often visceral work takes the form of figurative—at times disfigurative—sculpture, as well as paintings and installations, that reflect and embody an emotionally-charged undertow, the lives humans carry within them over centuries from one generation to the next.
McKenzie Fine Art http://www.mckenziefineart.com 55 Orchard Street
Christopher Dunlap, Maureen McQuillan, Laura Watt October 30 - December 20 The abstract painters in this exhibition explore a biomorphic rather than geometric approach to form. All embrace patterning, repetition, and layering in their work and are further united by a strong use of color. Additionally, they each welcome intuition, chance, and deviation as part of their working process and celebrate the irregularities of the handmade.
Miguel Abreu Gallery http://miguelabreugallery.com
36 Orchard Street Blake Rayne, "Dog Ears" November 19 – December 12 Blake Rayne’s "Dog Ears” is a presentation of new paintings from the artist’s current series of folded canvases. Since the 1990s, Rayne has variously engaged the production of abstract painting through the use of different iterations of the fold. In these new paintings, strips of canvas are folded, sprayed, sewn, and stretched to create forms and registrations derived from the folding motion’s inherent generation of obstructions and blind spots. Allegorically, these paintings can be understood as markers of expansions and compressions in time. The bent- angle creases throughout bring to mind the dog-ear, a mnemonic folding device used to suspend a moment of reading in memory.
88 Eldridge Street, 4th floor Yuji Agematsu, "Times Square Times (Kodak All-Stars)" November 14 — January 16 In 2003-2004, Yuji Agematsu began to take photographs of Times Square on nightly walks. After four years of continual improvisational shooting (2003/04-07), he wound up with something much too original for the genre of street photography, and yet no definitive artwork emerged, prior to this current installation. Over the intermittent years, Agematsu instead used the photographs in live performances, “tuning” and playing slide projections with audio recordings captured in the street with his tape deck. This past year, a decade and more after taking the pictures, the artist went in the other direction, editing the photographs into a fixed procession of some 382 slides that flicker and loop from six projectors.
Nathalie Karg Gallery https://nathaliekarg.com/ 291 Grand Street, 4th Floor
Won't You Be My Neighbor: Peter Barrickman, Seth Cameron, Antoine Catala, Anna Condo, Jessica Craig-Martin, Jane Dickson, Jim Drain, Joe Fyfe, Dorian Gaudin, Heidi Hahn, Paul Hosking, Simon Ko, Rannva Kunoy, John Lee, Jesse Mockrin, Bridget Mullen, Nathlie Provosty, Gamaliel Rodriguez, Elsa Sahal, Myles Starr, Alice Tippit and Tim Wilson. October 28 - December 31 Won’t You Be My Neighbor is a group exhibition featuring works, produced by artists whose creative practices are informed by their respective sets of lived experiences, identities, and subcultures. It serves to represent one form of coming together in this way. In a time of instability, with the risk of succumbing to self-disempowering despair, we hope that we can rebuild a unified community, one where we can once again be friendly neighbors.
No Gallery https://www.nogalleryla.com/ 138 Eldridge Street
Unsympathetic Magic Sara Kathryn Arledge, Nora Berman, Cameron, Vincent Dermody, André Eugène, L and Genesis P-Orridge October 30 - November 25
Off Paradise https://offparadise.com/ 120 Walker Street
"Ascensions" with Gregor Hildebrandt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Mitchell Charbonneau, Alicja Kwade, Harry Gruyaert, Tobias Wong, Sarah Charlesworth, Jeppe Hein, James Nares, Jonathan Paul Gillette, Simone Gilges, and Glenn O’Brien September 17 - December 17 “Ascensions” invites the viewer through a sleepless night. An eerie, spectral Nastassja Kinski from Gregor Hildebrandt’s “So nah so weit” (So close, so far) appears to be floating through the skyline of downtown Manhattan.
Pablo’s Birthday https://www.pablosbirthday.com/ 57 Orchard
Evan Halter, Rachel MacFarlane, Mai Ta October 29 - December 2 Pablo’s Birthday is pleased to present “memoirs”, a group exhibition including works of Evan Halter, Rachel MacFarlane, and Mai Ta. While approaching painting with different techniques and processes, the work of these three artists connect through memory and the role it plays within their artistic realms. A detailed or zoom-in representation of an imaginary reality manifests the use of a similar lens to translate their artistic perception of the concept of still-lives.
Perrotin https://www.perrotin.com 130 Orchard Street
Julio Le Parc: Color and Colors, Project with Leslie Hewitt: Anatomy of a Flower and Other Studio Experiments, Otani Workshop: Narubekunaranare Narazarumonarubekenya Narareccho (Be if you can, even if you don’t have to be, let it be) October 29 - December 24 On our first floor is a survey of Julio Le Parc's painting practice, which marks the artist's return to New York after an exhibition at The Met Breuer in 2018. We are presenting a project by Leslie Hewitt, which is the realization of a work begun at the 57th Carnegie International, featured alongside new collages. Finally, we are excited to debut a new installation, encompassing painting and ceramic works, by Japanese artist Otani Workshop on our third floor.
Peter Freeman, Inc. https://www.peterfreemaninc.com/ 140 Grand Street. New York, NY 10013
In Situ: a changing exhibition September 15 - December 19 In Situ is a fluid and changing installation of works chosen because we want to look at them, works that we want to see together. These past months have been too long an interlude during which digital outreach has tried to substitute for the actual event and the interaction with art has almost entirely been filtered through unsatisfactory stand-ins for any real experience of it. We invite visitors to safely experience real art in a real space, to consider again art in person, 'in position.'
Pierogi https://www.pierogi2000.com/ 155 Suffolk Street
Patrick Jacobs: "Nocturnes" (Sculpture and prints) 18 October–29 November A solo exhibition of recent work by Patrick Jacobs, including: "Room of Nocturnes" (four dioramas), bronze sculptures, and prints from three series: "Pink Nightfall," "Night Spirits," and "Nocturnes." “In the non-Newtonian universe of disparate viscosities and fluid love, distinctions between body and place are readily emulsified. Branches and foliage, moist and glistening, transform into flesh and genitalia. I think of these imagined spaces as safe havens for the sexual Other, and even more broadly for an emancipated human spirit.” —Patrick Jacobs
Rachel Uffner Gallery https://www.racheluffnergallery.com/ 170 Suffolk Street
Sally Saul 'In the Woods', and upstairs: Roger White November 13, 2020 - January 30, 2021 Rachel Uffner Gallery is pleased to present two solo exhibitions by Sally Saul and Roger White.

My Flannel Knickers October 29-December 5 The title of the show comes from a short story by surrealist artist and writer Leonora Carrington.

Helhesten: Thirteen Artists in a Tent October 21 - November 29 Shin Gallery is pleased to present a recreation of the 1941 Danish exhibition Thirteen Artists in a Tent with works from the 1930s -1950s by Else-Fischer Hansen, Ejler Bille, Egon Mathiesen, Else Alfelt, Hans Scherfig, and Svavar Gudnason. The dauntless collective Helhesten (The Hell Horse), arranged a curious exhibition in a large carnival tent located in a park north of Copenhagen during the occupation of Nazi Germany.
SHRINE https://www.shrine.nyc 179 East Broadway
Hayley Barker - "The Grass is Blue" October 31 – December 5 Landscapes and intimate, self-reflective portraiture are at the core of Hayley Barker’s newest body of work. Outdoor scenes and figurative subjects are expressively rendered with oil paint on linen, and draw influence from emotional and spiritual experiences, nature, dreams and art historical precedents. The meditative act of painting allows Barker the ability to reconcile remembered dreamscapes and imagery from favorite paintings with her own direct perceptions of reality, creating surreal and mythical spaces that still feel familiar and inviting. signs and symbols http://www.signsandsymbols.art/ 102 Forsyth Street
Ornella Fieres: a group of people walking down a snow covered street October 21 - November 28 signs and symbols is pleased to present "a group of people walking down a snow covered street," the gallery’s second solo exhibition of Berlin-based artist Ornella Fieres. For this exhibition, Fieres presents works based on a collection of over 700 letters, postcards and photographs from the 1960s – 1980s belonging to a woman living in the former GDR in East Berlin. After finding these materials all within one box, Fieres spent several years processing them through various artificial intelligences, allowing only glimpses into moments and fragments of the woman's private life.
