In one of the most anticipated shows of the winter, Ricco/Maresca is showing Henry Darger: Utopia / Dystopia at their NYC space. Any presentation of Darger’s work generates attention, especially from our readership over the years, so definitely wanted to get this on the radar of everyone here. 

François Ghebaly New York is delighted to present Show Off, iconoclastic filmmaker and visual artist Mike Kuchar’s newest exhibition at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. Since the 1960s, Mike Kuchar has been a majorly influential figure in the underground film and comics scenes. Together with his twin brother George, the Kuchars gained cult recognition first in the Bronx and then in San Francisco for their over-the-top, no-budget films that sent up Hollywood epics, weepy romances, and sci-fi B movies. In iconic films … Continue reading “Mike Kuchar is a “Show Off””

With Dislyxec Poet at Plan X Milan, CB Hoyo does what he does best—breaks the rules, questions value, and makes the art world deeply uncomfortable while laughing at it. This exhibition at Plan X Milan is not just an overwhelming spectacle of 1,500 unique works on paper, but also a reckless market experiment, a farewell performance, and a final act of creative destruction.

There is something so comforting about a HUSKMITNAVN show at V1 Gallery. Not that the work is comfortable, but that you know HUSKMITNAVN will paint about domestic life in a way that feels relatable, or create a collective sense of anxiety and humor in his illustrations. It’s comforting because you know he has an eye out for us, he’s paying attention, he gets it, he gets what is going on at home. He has always had an empathetic eye, and … Continue reading “HUSKMITNAVN: A New Day @ V1 Gallery, Copenhagen”

It’s a process of patience. JIM JOE, famous in that he is famously mostly reluctant to take a spotlight or showcase himself in public, made an entire project in public. Perhaps the most public place he could, at the New York Public Library, exploring two branches located on Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Street in their rich and vast resoruces of pictures they have in their archive. As the 2023 Picture Collection Artist Fellow, JIM JOE made all the … Continue reading “JIM JOE's “Practice in Public” is a Fascinating Exploration and Use of Public Space”
