Space is the Place—Great show at Joshua Liner Gallery featuring oil on linen by Michael Kagan which showcases man’s moments of triumph over nature’s limits captured through iconic imagery as seen to the left. Also noteworthy is a cool show by Aïda Ruilova at Marlborough Chelsea featuring a 25-foot wide projection of a digitally transferred Super-16mm film, a large-scale inflatable, and a group of cut-paper collages. Cool night, check it out!

Claudia Comte

No Melon No Lemon

Gladstone Gallery

Very cool Branchusi-esque wooden sculptures set into vibrant black and yellow striped backgrounds that make you feel as if you’re part of a table top photoshoot staring up into the giganticness of each scene. That art truly dwarfs the viewer. Check it out through March 21, 2015

Snowmaggeden is Over!— Outsider Art Fair opens Thursday night and runs through the weekend. Always interesting work by artists who are possesed to produce. Strange and curious work that can be affordable. Other good shows will be some chain saw art at Gladstone and 7 sinks at Andrea Meislin gallery. Curious night indeed. Check it out.

Sam Friedman

Happy Place

Joshua Liner Gallery

Multiples and variations of lines, shapes, shocking colors and suns are typical of Sam Friedman’s abstract paintings at this show. Part of it feels very memphis in its style and experimentation. I’m feeling a strong 1980’s vibe here. Check it out through February 14, 2015.
