In the continuous discussion on the effectiveness of activist art, Andrea Bowers provides a strong case in its favor. In her current exhibition, Mercy Mercy Me she focuses on nonviolent acts of dissent that raise awareness to the direct consequences of climate change and manmade environmental disasters. Although she references activists from Nigeria to California, she appears to have been primarily inspired by her visit to Northern Alaska in August, where she spent time at Arctic Village â€...

Shannon Ebner’s new exhibition Invisible Language Workshop derives its name from MIT’s influential Visible Language Workshop, co-founded in 1975 by groundbreaking graphic designer Muriel Cooper. This facility researched the intersection between visual communication, graphics and artificial intelligence—leading the way to designing for a burgeoning computer culture.  Ebner discovered the program’s practice while working on her recent monograph with graphic design team Dexter Siniste...

Downtown Alliance continues its Re:Construction initiative—commissioning New York artists to convert construction barriers like fences and temporary walls into colorful and playful artworks. Current projects on view are Nina Bovasso’s Botanizing on the Asphalt along Hudson River Park; C...

No visit to SoHo is complete without a stop at Art in General. Its new commissions program offers fresh work by emerging artists who are normally off the beaten track, and hand-picked for their visions. This time they’ve lined up three ambitious projects. Collectively titled “Erratic Anthropologies,” they are “performance installations …that mine the visual culture of flawed but influential community structures.” In essence, the three projects are each ironic, comical...

Avant-Guide to NYC is a wonderful and thoughtfully curated exhibitions that is also quite hard to place. Not an historic survey, not a thematic group show per se, and not a typical geographically defined show, although it centers around New York City. It brings together work by mostly rising and mid-career (by loose standards) internationally active artists working in this city, grappling with the legacy of previous generations and the cultural milieu which they shaped and by which the...

If you’re at all like me (my sympathies), art makes you hungry. And an empty belly makes me hate everything I see. And if you’re like most New Yorkers, time and money are both scarce. The solution: Sau Voi. This quick corner shop, disguised as a Vietnamese video shop/lottery center, has a food counter and prepared bundles at Chinatown prices. The vegan options are slim, but you can get a veggie sandw... [more]

You Are What You Look At (And I Know What You’ve Been Watching), an exhibition of new work by recent Yale MFA graduate Jacques Louis Vidal, is immediately striking. The small gallery space at Marc Jancou Contemporary is crowded with color, frenetic with form; standing at the entrance, the viewer is met with what appears to be the insides of someone’s eccentric and highly personal psychological landscape. Each work reads simultaneously as objet d’art and as a culmination...

Urs Fischer defies description. Zurich-born, he lives and works in a downtown Brooklyn loft, is covered in tattoos, and chooses to picture himself prone, yellow-tank-top clad, and snuggling a bug-eyed Chihuahua; he is an artist known to turn expectations on their heads. He finds ever riper—or more rotten, as it were—ways to challenge the idea of “the exhibition,” despite decades of scholarship which have declared that endeavor either no longer relevant, no longer compelling, imp...
