ERIC FERTMAN

20 Oct - 3 Dec 2016 Slashes of bright metal dance through space with the grace and charm of a teenage boy. “Arms” and “legs” akimbo, it is easy to forget that these simple lines and shapes are just that, hard edge geometries grounded in the rational sciences. Fertman has deployed these ciphers frequently over the past decade, always carved from wood. In his new body of work, their rawness is translated perversely to steel and fine metals. Read more

SETH CAMERON

SUNS 20 Oct - 3 Dec 2016 With a cocked eye, they pose repose, lean on ledges, and hang in frames, yet do not pretend to escape landscape. They are perfectly fine with it.

“Suns” is Cameron’s first exhibition in New York and with the gallery, properly as himself. And yet improperly neither – his first, in 2008, being both – as a founding member of The Bruce High Quality Foundation. Born in 1982 in South Carolina, Cameron studied at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art where he now leads The Intradisciplinary Seminar. He lives and works in Brooklyn, continuing the work of Bruce and serving as President of the collective’s free art school, BHQFU. Read more

RYAN WALLACE

SURVEYOR 8 Sep - 15 Oct 2016 Like a patient gardener, Ryan Wallace cyclically tends, gleans, and prunes his work as former efforts become a soil that cultivates the new. His projects are sustained through continuous cycles of creation, destruction, flattening, and rebuilding. In paintings constructed from strips of canvas, screens, tiles, metallic tapes and errant found objects, each piece holds a history of its own making. It is self-sustaining, self-perpetuating, self-determined, in a way that cultivates organic development. Read more

GREG SMITH

ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER 9 Jun - 29 Jul 2016 For Zero Width Non-Joiner, Greg Smith collaborates with thousands of lines of computer code. In part written by the artist, and in part assembled from modules available on the internet, this code serves as the circumscriptive but not-quite-present landscape in the video, set, objects, and drawings. The film, Total Runout, Heavy Sparkle, shows our protagonist navigating a space where the environment, and the cameras themselves, appear to determine much of the action. Read more

LEE MULLICAN

THE FIFTIES 28 Apr - 4 Jun 2016 Lee Mullican’s work draws from a deep well of influence found in Native American Art, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Surrealism, each embodying his passion for the metaphysical. Immersed in the spiritual and shamanistic beliefs present in the Native American culture of Chickasha, Oklahoma, Mullican arrived early to the life of the mind. He continued his explorations first discovering nature in Zen Buddhism and cosmology in Hinduism while stationed as an Army topographer during WWII in Guam, Hawaii and Tokyo. Read more

GARY STEPHAN + ALINA TENSER

17 Mar - 23 Apr 2016 Alina Tenser’s (b. 1981) sculpture and video share a vocabulary with Gary Stephan, where all good conversation begins. The glyphs and lozenges that allude to real objects and real space in Stephan’s work quite literally glide across the surface of Tenser’s. They skitter, skate, collide, and ultimately come to a rest, balancing somewhere between furniture slides and pure geometry. Each (piece) is an invitation, carefully and generously proffered.” Read more

BEVERLY SEMMES

RABBIT HOLE 4 Feb - 12 Mar 2016 Beverly Semmes’s second exhibition with Susan Inglett Gallery probes the powers of a landmark modernist sculpture by an iconic feminist artist: Meret Oppenheim’s Object (aka the fur lined tea cup) of 1936. As Semmes heads down the rabbit hole of artistic inspiration she takes artist Erle Loran’s 1943 book, Cezanne’s Compositions as her guide: Loran’s attempts to diagram and unlock the powers of Cezanne’s paintings are a touching artifact of pure formalism and ardor.
