A hand picked selection art worth seeing in NYC
Mo Downtown 2024.09.28
I’ll be out looking at work this afternoon. This post builds on the previous collection I made last week: https://nysee.nyc/radar/posts/closing-downtown
Gerome Kamrowski @ Lincoln Glenn
Kamrowski found inspiration everywhere from x-rays of plants to crystallography to the “cosmic rhythm” which he believed bound all things together.
David Salle @ Gladstone Gallery
It should come as no surprise that David Salle would partner with AI to create a new series of dynamically constructed paintings, the New Pastorals (2024–).
Carrie Mae Weems @ Gladstone Gallery
Projected within a cylindrical structure, The Shape of Things draws its panoramic imagery from the 19th-century cyclorama, a popular form of entertainment comprising a 360° history painting
Joanne Leonard & Brittany Nelson
How do you conjure a human presence without any humans? Consider this beautifully hung two-person photography show.
Robert Frank: The Americans
Aligning with the centennial of Frank’s birth and the highly anticipated return of this iconic title to Aperture’s catalog, the group will discuss these indelible images and the enduring legacy of arguably one of the most influential photobooks of the twentieth century.

Closing Downtown
These are some of the shows downtown I want to hit before they close over the next week or so (Posted: Saturday, 21 Sep 2024 11.21.50 AM EDT).

Rendered in oil on copper or wood, Levenstein continues to explore the expressive capacity of a restrictive palette at a constrained scale.
Erwin Olaf: Stages
Edwynn Houk Gallery presents Erwin Olaf: Stages, an exhibition of key series centered on the concept of performance, a recurring theme in the artist’s four-decade career.
Steve McQueen @ Dia Chelsea
Often delving into power relations, McQueen’s films and videos capture the experience of living both within and in opposition to hierarchical structures, critically examining current social issues by drawing on the histories of cinema and video art and the reduced formal vocabulary of Minimalism.
Life Dances On: Robert Frank @ MoMA
The first-ever solo exhibition of Frank’s work to be presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Life Dances On: Robert Frank in Dialogue will bring together some 200 artworks produced by the artist over the course of six decades.
before it gets dark… @ Hollis Taggart
New work by Madeleine Bialke, Rachel MacFarlane, and Alexander Richard Wilson
Doug Wheeler @ David Zwirner
Upon entering the gallery, the viewer first encounters two luminous, rectangular thresholds or “walls” of light, which function as points of entry into an expansive environment that simulates the experience of limitless space, or a “ganzfeld.”
