Here's a sneak-peek at the incredible new installation, "Stray Light Grey," by Jonah Freemanand Justin Lowe opening tonight at Marlborough Chelsea (545 West 25th Street).  The bi-coastal artists have constructed a mind-boggling series of connected rooms representing different social groups and historical time periods that wind through different levels of the now almost unrecognizable gallery. Rooms include an Art Deco museum, an Off Track Betting parlor, an art gallery, an archive/library of an eccentric aristocrat and a "retail environment" which includes a cake shop and a plastic surgery clinic. By the time you hit the end, you may have forgotten where you began. Expect big lines, as only 30 people will be admitted at a time.  The show's install alone took almost six weeks and the art-duo are also busy finishing up another project opening in NYC later this year.  Don't miss this show.  It's the perfect launch to the Fall gallery season in NYC

RED HOOK ? NEW YORK ? read this email sent by KENTLER INTERNATIONAL DRAWING SPACE Robert Aitchison STATE OF EMERGENCY: PORTRAITS FROM THE PANDEMIC November 6 - December 12, 2021 Join us for the Opening Reception: Saturday, November 6, 4-6pm Artist's Talk: December 5, 4pm (Proof of Vaccine & Masks Required, observing pandemic precautions) Kentler International Drawing Space is pleased to present State of Emergency: Portraits from the Pandemic, a solo exhibition of new work on paper by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Aitchison. This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
