Becky Yazdan : FUTURE PERFECT
The future means acceleration. Shinier cars, younger skin, lightspeed transactions, endless growth. Yet perfection feels out of reach when we discard our progress to keep up with newer, faster, better, more. In Future Perfect, Becky Yazdan asks us to look beyond these expectations towards the beauty already abounding in our day-to-day lives—no matter how imperfect. By re-injecting the mess and uncertainty of uncharted ground into the bedrock of her past experiences, the artist unearths limitless futures.

Juan Santiago Uribe, Alejandro Tobón, Andrés Monzón, Lorena Zuluaga Cardona : Arrume
This exhibition is about how we inhabit and move through certain areas, and how some things end up becoming others. There is a common concern among us with territory, with customs and traditions; a tendency to collect, to wander through fairs, public spaces, parties; a concern with desire… Arrumes in shops and markets, at home, in the barrio, in the city, in the country; a concern for the bodies that we go through, and the bodies that go through us.

Don Voisine : Don Voisine
In Don Voisine’s taut and elegant paintings, simple geometries are set against light or dark grounds, flanked top and bottom by bands of contrasting color. In this latest body of work, diamond and lozenge shapes and cruciform arrangements predominate. Rather than working with forms gleaned from architecture or other references, most of the new work returns to standard geometric shapes. However, the move towards more purely abstract imagery has not precluded an exploration of architectonic and sculptural space in these new paintings.

Faye Wei Wei : Tiny Melody Chamber
SITUATIONS is proud to present Tiny Melody Chamber, British artist Faye Wei Wei’s first solo exhibition in New York. On view will be new oil paintings and drawings made in the artist's distinctive, gestural style. A nonchalant cast of personas inhabit the spacious compositions of Wei Wei’s works, seen kissing, singing, slumbering or else looking outward to return the viewer’s gaze. Interweaving references drawn from lived experience, literature, art history, and culture at-large, Wei Wei takes a lyrical approach to figuration, creating complex yet open-ended narratives each a world unto itself.

Movement of the Triangle is the third exhibition at Snow Gallery as well as the third in a series. Taking its title from Kandinsky’s Concerning the Spiritual in Art, this show brings together 19 healers, artists, & magicians (ages 15 to infinity) who are paving a way forward, helping carry a torch through the darkness. This exhibition explores many familial connections, both blood and intentional, forming an ever growing constellation of healing. The boundaries between art and life are illusory.

Jason McLean, Devon Marinac, Kevin Wendall (FA-Q) : Mind Mapping . . . And Other Stories
Feeling becomes thought and thought becomes expression, with color and line, with the image that illustrates the outside world meeting the inner world to translate what is new of the street and community and how the mind comes to understand this while mapping itself as part of it. Through figure or symbol, abstraction or colorful cynicism, Jason Mclean, Devon Marinac, and Kevin Wendall (FA-Q) map the spheres of thought and feeling across the sidewalks, and bookshelves, and bars and faces of those around all of us for all of us to take in.
