This year’s Pantone Color of the Year is Very Peri, which is blue with red undertones. The soft, almost purple-y color will show up next year across ad campaigns and in fashion, Pantone predicts. In fact, it’ll be the subject of a new digital art show at Chelsea’s ARTECHOUSE in the new year. The show will evoke the emotion and feel of the color and offer a customized cocktail menu from the gallery’s newly opened XR Bar. We’re excited to be awash in this calming color and see a new trippy art show to start our 2022 off right.

The Mets Magnificent Museums: An Artful Weekend in New York Overnight ...

David Zwirner and Performance Space New York are pleased to present a group exhibition curated by Ei Arakawa, Kerstin Brätsch, Nicole Eisenman, and Laura Owens at the gallerys 519 West 19th Street location in New York. They will create a living exhibition exploring the dynamics between performance and painting. The unconventional design, conceived collaboratively by the four artist-curators, examines how time is manifested on and off the canvas and invokes both risk and serendipity.

Chiffon Thomas: Staircase to the Rose Window is the artists first solo exhibition with the gallery. With this work, Thomas remembers childhood encounters with an incongruously gothic rose window towering above the complexs main courtyard. As Thomas notes, this idea of being transformed foregrounds the cosmetic upgrades my own body has endured over the past decade. My body is that of a trans person a culmination of hormones, haircuts, scars, muscle and fat redistribution, presentation, and demeanor, that subtly shift the way the world perceives me and the way I perceive myself within the world. I have watched my body reconfigure itself only to reach a state of relief, comfort, or contentment. In doing so, I have also grieved parts of my body that I have had to detach from physically and mentally. Located at P·P·O·W, 392 Broadway, NYC.

Eva Hesse: Expanded Expansion At Guggenheim Museum On View Through October 17 2022

A Broadway museum takes the stage

To make Expanded Expansion, Hesse juxtaposed soft, draping panels of rubberized cheesecloth with rigid fiberglass and polyester resin poles that extend to form legs. Simultaneously humorous and commanding, the works repeating segments lean against the wall and can be manipulated to expand and contract. The artist described the work as opposite in form, large, looming, powerful yet precarious. Embodying her interest in materiality, absurdity, and incongruities, this presentation brings to the fore the temporalities of exhibition and interpretation, elucidating the contextual nature of perception and the experience and stewardship of an artwork over time.
