JORDAN EAGLES: VINCI
Through March 9
To explore ideas around how we, as a society, value objects, life, and long-term survival, Eagles' new series, VINCI, appropriates Leonardo da Vinci's Salavtor Mundi, rendered in blood donated from an activist, living long term with HIV, and who is undetectable.

Liz Collins: Over the Edge
Through March 9
Booth 1007
Over the Edge, is a solo exhibition featuring Liz Collins curated by Jane Ursula Harris. Harris writes, "As a forerunner to the kind of textile-based practice the contemporary art world is currently obsessed with, Collins has long explored the porous boundaries between painting and sculpture, art and craft, object and performance. Hers is a decadent, maximalist statement on the power of color and form through a distinctly performative, sensual lens." >>>

Ja'Tovia Gary: flesh that needs to be loved
Through March 21
Using a broad range of techniques such as direct animation, documentary, experimental film, video art, and cinema verité, Gary's “flesh that needs to be loved” charts the ways structures of power shape our perceptions around representation, race, gender, sexuality, and violence. Her work seeks to liberate the distorted histories through which Black life is often viewed while fleshing out a nuanced and multivalent Black interiority. >>>

Sam McKinniss
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Through March 22
Jonathan Taylor Thomas features portraits of Aaliyah, Justin Bieber, Mason Ramsey, and other famous entertainers similarly “discovered” at tender ages. The impetus for this latest body of work is child stardom in American pop culture, but the exhibition is also intended as something of a “Comedy of Errors.” As in Shakespeare, McKinniss’s sense of humor here relies on twinship and mistaken identity as plot devices or themes. >>>

Tseng Kwong Chi: East Meets West
Through April 4
Best known for his ironic photographic portraits and tongue-in-cheek performances, Tseng Kwong Chi rose to prominence as part of a group of artists making art in New York City’s East Village in the 1980s. This exhibition presents photographs from Tseng’s East Meets West series, for which the artist donned a stereotypical Mao suit — an extension of his artistic persona of a Chinese “Ambiguous Ambassador” — and posed in front of iconic architecture, playfully examining the conventions of tourist photography and poking fun at perceptions of identity, truth, and fiction. >>>

Jeanette Mundt: Still American
Through April 12, 2020
Still American’s serialized reproductions exist, semi-altered, in a synergy of transference, from abstraction to figuration and back again. A re-ordering of collective recollection through a composite of styles and techniques, Mundt takes ownership and mastery of heavily utilized motifs in the history of painting: Landscape, Nude, Self-Portrait, then sets them ablaze. Fire itself, Mundt notes, is an elusive element to perfect, and a flicker of painter’s bravado. And within this unsettling production and reproduction of fire, Mundt establishes her narrative control. >>>

Leidy Churchman: Earth Bound
Through April 18, 2020
In Churchman’s work, no subject is off limits. The scale of these twenty-one new paintings varies from a one-foot-tall abstract composition to an interior scene more than eight feet wide. One painting depicts the camera lenses of the newest iPhone arranged like three eyes, another a bouquet of roses, while another, based on a Tantric divination card, pictures a cloud-covered Earth from space with a new Earth rising up behind it. >>>

The Poetry Project Presents: Sarah Schulman & Prageeta Sharma
Wednesday, March 18, 8:00 PM
In their newest work, Sarah Schulman and Prageeta Sharma explore grief as embodied, radical, and charged with possibility and question.

Catherine Opie: Rhetorical Landscapes
Through April 4
For over thirty years, Catherine Opie has captured often overlooked aspects of contemporary American life and culture. Rhetorical Landscapes continues Opie’s examination of the current American political landscape and the moving image, a visual technology that she utilized in her first film, The Modernist. In the center of the gallery eight monitors form a closed circle. Life size in height and resembling oversized iPhones, each monitor features a screen that displays an animated film Opie calls “political collages.” >>>

A.K. Burns: Globster Soot, Medium Rare
Through March 21
Marianne arrived in the hull of a ship. Dismembered for easy transit, and upon arrival reconstituted as a monstrous figure — a diva of idealism. On the eve of 2020, 133 years old, geriatric and exhausted from the burden of rendering false ideologies, her torch sputtered and smoked, off-gassing the residue of a dying ember. Then the blood evacuated her arm from holding it above her head for so long. And that was that, back on the barge she goes. Like all the other refuse in New York City (an annual 33 million tons), she was deported. In memory of her fatal existence, Marianne Deludes the World (2020) has been forcefully returned to Paris to linger in the coffers of the white cube.
