"Given til Sundown" : Adam Hayes
​
In Adam Hayes’s latest body of work, he layers images of early photography from the Old West with forms of professional wrestlers in struggle. Spaghetti western absurdist tropes highlighting toxic masculinity as the apex of manhood alongside a show of brute strength. But Hayes is not presenting these images as a critic but rather an examination of the guttural response, the fight, and the animal in man.

"A memory, eternal" : Bethany Czarnecki
​
A memory, eternal presents a dynamic collection of new works from Bethany Czarnecki. Building upon her repertoire of transcendentally ambiguous, yet unmistakably female forms in saturated, polychromatic hues, Czarnecki’s newest paintings incorporate jewel tones and magnified bending shapes to create immersive sensory experiences. Employing color as a carrier of emotion, the artist’s paintings explore the evocative relationships between light and shadow while conjuring a unique sense of place.

"Chamber Music" : Pete Schulte
​
Pete Schulte’s drawings are notable for their subtle and nuanced touch, sophisticated and refined surfaces, and for possessing a mysterious quality of softly glowing light enhanced by an understated use of color. The simplicity of the precisely defined shapes and spaces he creates, ranging from geometric and architectural to those evoking natural forms, appear to be at one with their paper substrate.In this exhibition, small-scale drawings, none over 13 inches square, are made with graphite pencils, pigment, ink, and colored pencils; they invite slow and careful consideration. Like chamber music, the atmosphere is intimate, with discrete, distinctly defined elements coalescing harmoniously.

AN INVENTORY OF TOOLS FOR COPING : ELSA MORA
​
For her first solo exhibition with New York’s Thomas Nickles Project, Elsa Mora has crafted a new body of work from an expansive array of media—including glazed ceramics, paper collage, and paintings on wood. The show, “An Inventory of Tools for Coping,” is a continuation of Mora’s ongoing exploration of human experience and emotion, transforming them into corporeal works that are both playful and poignant. On view through November 19, 2023, the works and objects shown in collections illustrate engagements with formal dichotomies such as abstraction and representation, dys/functionality, and organic versus mechanical shapes. Interrogating psychology and feelings, the show highlights Mora’s ability to synthesize levity and humor with trauma and suffering, resulting in a body of work that is accessible and relatable.

"La Trenza-The Braid" : Colette Lumiere / Gesiye, Cecilia Jurado Chueca, Yohanna M Roa / Jelena Tomasevic
​
A Collective Feminist Curatorial la trenza – the braid is a project with a feminist perspective, which aims to show that curatorship is a process in which the relationship between artists and curators develops in a personal and political sphere. That is, curatorship as a practice that involves the body and a series of negotiations that constitute a layout or a network that articulates the artists' production in a discourse that goes beyond the individual and thus allows the articulation of the different devices that are activated during an exhibition: Work, museography, curatorship, space, and socio-historical context.
