Philip VanderhydenExisting as much in fantasy and imagination as in its complex and contradictory realities, the "big city" draws millions of visitors every year who revel in its Oz-like qualities. Providing a stimulating and cosmopolitan backdrop for vacationers from across the globe, dreams of urban living are offered to those with ambitions to live out one of the many television and movie narratives in today’s multi-format media world. As the city’s "real life" neighborhoods and buildings are featured in (...)

Bill Owens / American Icons
Opens Thursday, July 27, 6-9 pm
July 27 - September 17, 2017Bill Owens is perhaps most well known for his iconic Suburbia project documenting the daily life of his friends and neighbors in a northern California suburb in 1972. Treating middle class experience as an anthropological phenomenon, Owens poignant and often funny images described the American suburb at a kind of midpoint between the wholesome optimism of Levittown and the ancillary effects of Vietnam and the looming recession. Switching to color and going "out on the road," Owens’ (...)

Functioning as a benefit (...)

Steel Stillman“The facts we hate, we’ll never meet walking down the road, everybody yelling, ‘Hurry up, hurry up!’ But I’m waiting for you, I must go slow, I must not think bad thoughts. When is this world coming to? Both sides are right, but both sides murder, I give up, why can’t they?” [/I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts, X, 1983 /] Upended by the November election results, the American political establishment has been turned on its head. Experiencing a polarizing social and political retrenchment not seen (...)

Simon Linke
March 2-6 2016Simon Linke Volta NY, PIER 90 Preview Wednesday, March 2, 8-10 PM Public Hours March 3-5, 12-8 PM Sunday, March 6, 12-6 PM Slightly smaller than one of Artforum’s full page ads, Simon Linke’s 10" x 10” paintings corrupt the clean graphic layout of their source through a full-on indulgence in an excess of oil paint. Replicating the ads as faithfully as possible while wrangling a robust, fluid material within an almost comically limiting surface area, Linke’s paintings exist as a (...)

& Howard SilverBy undoing a building ... [I] open a a state of enclosure which has been preconditioned not only by physical necessity but by the industry that proliferates suburban and urban boxes as a pretext for ensuring a passive, isolated consumer. Gordon Matta-Clark As the site of one of American consumerism’s largest expansions, the suburbs faced its greatest test in the 1970’s, when the postwar suburban fantasy collided with the reality of gas shortages, “stagflation,” and a growing unease with the (...)

David Watson performs Parade
Tuesday February 25, 2014
Doors open at 7, Performance at 8pm
$5 at the doorDavid Watson has been a participant, observer and fan of New York City street parades. As an experimental musician he is drawn to the combinations of organization and disorder, sound and noise. This has led to him to making original pieces for three pipe bands in Hobart, Australia; a game piece in an empty storage facility in Los Angeles; and a "sonic progress" by a brass band through the city of Wellington, New Zealand. "Parade" is the original video iteration of these works and includes (...)

Opens October 10, 6-8 pm
Gallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 1-6 pmRecovered from the depths of the online art platform known as Google Art Project, João Enxuto and Erica Love’s Anonymous Paintings betray the ambiguities inherent in the experience of visual art in the age of digital culture. Deliberately selecting the censored cast-offs that are blurred due to copyright restrictions, their project emphasizes the condition of the art object today as one of contingency, while revealing Google Art Project’s elevation of mass culture as an expansion of corporate (...)
