This weekend is a good opportunity to catch up on art shows that are closing soon, such as:
Summer of Love at the Freight + Volume Gallery, a large group exhibition which presents the engagements of a diverse body of 111 artists with themes of love and romance, the quandaries of relationships, and sympathetic resonances in the natural world.
Multiply, Identify, Her, An exhibition at ICP that showcases work by an intergenerational group of women artists exploring the construction and implications of hybrid and multiple identities.
Access and Ability at the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. There has been a surge of design with and by people with a wide range of physical, cognitive, and sensory abilities. This exhibition explores how users and designers are expanding and adapting products in ways previously unimaginable.
Next week, check out Rapture of the Depp: The Textile Art of Tzuri Gueta, a special pop-up exhibit curated by CALA instructor Yaara Keydar Luft. The opening will take place on September 5th at 6pm and the show runs through September 24th. Tzuri Gueta is a multidisciplinary artist and designer, who creates magnificent, underwater-inspired objects from silicone and lace. The installation has been selected to show as part of New York Textile Month and is hosted by the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn, alongside a collection of textile exhibitions.
And you can always enjoy art in the open air through the various public artworks around the city such as Wake by Mel Chin in Times Square, I Lift My Lamp Beside the Door at the High Line, and Yinka Shonibare’s Wind Sculpture in Central Park. Cathie Behrend’s Fall course Art in the Public Domain will explore various art installations around the city.
From all of us at CALA, have a great Labor Day weekend!
Other CALA courses of interest in art and art history:
I could find out when the Cooper-Hewitt show closes by going to its site, but why not mention it in your posting–since the pitch is that certain shows are closing soon? The New Museum’s well-praised videos are also closing this weekend–why not mention them?
That said, the reminder on behalf of art exhibits is great.
