R & R: VINCENT SZAREK : HOT DOGS AND MILKSHAKES

10 Nov - 15 Dec 2024 R & R is excited to present Vincent Szarek “Hot Dogs and Milkshakes”. Szarek will present six new works, including ‘tied to the mast’ 2024, a totemic eight-foot column reflecting the environs of the outdoor courtyard in dialogue with five paintings in the adjacent interior space. These new paintings are sculpted with evocative curves which shape the highly polished surfaces. The paintings are also a return to a traditional stretched canvas, the first again for the artist after many years. Szarek’s work, both sculpture and painting, capture the dynamism of motion and focus the viewers’ attention on the fleeting moment of the present. Read more

SAM BRANDEN: DOGBANE

25 Oct - 20 Dec 2024 Urban life, specifically navigating and surviving the boroughs of New York City, has long fascinated Branden, who has roots in street fashion and graffiti culture. Simultaneously, the artist originally hails from the Midwest, with his formative years spent immersed in the splendor of the natural world. This dichotomy of influence is central to the metaphorical underpinnings of DOGBANE, which takes its title from the fibrous flowering shrub whose stems can be used to make rope and thread but is also notorious for poisoning surrounding wildlife.

Kate Bickmore: On the Precipice

6 Sep - 19 Oct 2024 Kate Bickmore creates immersive, large-scale, hyperrealistic paintings of flowers, or florascapes, that take on a new perspective beyond their day-to-day perception. The works, inspired in part by art historical references like Georgia O’Keeffe and hugely influenced by Marianne North—a Victorian-era botanical oil painter—as well as the Hudson River School and 17th-century Baroque painters, draw from Bickmore’s experiences of awe in nature, and through her body as a Highly Sensitive queer woman. By depicting these larger-than-life plants with power, agency, and physicality, Bickmore challenges perceptions of nature and femininity, creating a boundary-less space of exploration and contemplation.

R & R: Elisa Soliven: Amphora Nights

20 Jul - 18 Aug 2024 Throughout her artistic practice, Elisa Soliven examines how the human figure can lead to further formal transformation. Her clay sculptures, created through ancient ceramic processes that allow for enhanced flexibility and durability, often begin as contemporary portraits of friends. Likenesses and figurative elements are reworked and layered, leaving only hints of the original permutation, such as an amphora’s handles akin to arms akimbo.

Facture Fracture

Sam Branden, Kadar Brock, Shayna Miller, Jack Arthur Wood 26 Jun - 23 Aug 2024 CHART is pleased to present Facture Fracture, a group exhibition featuring new paintings by Sam Branden, Kadar Brock, Shayna Miller, and Jack Arthur Wood. The works in Facture Fracture explore the potential of manipulated painterly surfaces as a way of communicating abstract ideas, demonstrating how accumulated influences and affects can only be pared down so far, and how future evolutions are inherently built on that which came before. The exhibition will open with a reception on Wednesday, June 26, from 6–8pm, and will remain on view through Friday, August 23. Read more

PROJECTION 009 | Tania Alvarez: Through Painted Panes

3 May - 22 Jun 2024 Tania Alvarez is interested in the biographical potential of material. In Through Painted Panes, the home operates as a reflection of the body, and by incorporating the articles for her residential sculptures—scraps of clothing, recycled food packaging, home renovation samples—from quotidian encounters, Alvarez creates a chronicle of her life, both timestamping the creations with self-specific objects, while also manifesting an autobiographical structure for viewers to explore. Each mark, memory, or object transfers traces of lived moments into the artwork, allowing the pieces to act as a distanced self-portrait. Read more

JENNIFER COATES: EDGE EFFECTS

IN COLLABORATION WITH HIGH NOON 3 May - 22 Jun 2024
“Edge Effects” is an ecological term that refers to the sometimes problematic changes in biodiversity where different habitats converge. These transitional zones are called ecotones: animal/vegetable environments in flux, like ditches, forest edges, marshes and grasslands. The ecotone provides a metaphorical through line for Coates’s current paintings, in which micro-climates of imagery collide. Zones of color, marks, and depicted elements aggregate and are collaged together, creating a hybrid sense of place. Read more

Will Ryman: Shanghai 6

Yuz Museum, Shanghai and Panlong Tiandi 25 Apr - 27 Oct 2024 As spring turns to summer in 2024, it marks the first anniversary of both Panlong Tiandi and the relocation of Yuz Museum to Panlong, but also celebrates the tenth anniversary of Yuz Museum in Shanghai. In this blooming season, the third chapter of the Public Art Project “Wander”, organized by Yuz Museum in partnership with Panlong Tiandi, opens with “Shanghai 6”, a giant rose installation by artist Will Ryman, putting the icing on the cake for the celebrations.

R & R : Vanitas

17 Mar - 28 Apr 2024 CHART and R & R are pleased to present Vanitas , a group exhibition featuring sculptural works that explore classical notions of transience and mortality, as well as the power of objects to exude symbolic meaning. The jointly-organized exhibition will take place across both venues in Tribeca and Ridgewood. The... Read more

PROJECTION 008 | Lauren Anaïs Hussey

Retinal Loop 15 Mar - 27 Apr 2024 Hussey is interested in moments of perceptual doubt, and the various paradoxes wrapped up in them; a reflective surface such as the inside of an elevator obscures what it is reflecting, and a signature on a document is the most binding aspect of it yet usually cannot be read. Through a use of both metallic pigments and trompe l’oeil rendering of metal surfaces and script, her paintings optically hum, not quite disorienting the viewer, but at all moments causing them to wonder what they are looking at, and what its relationship is to the tangible world. Her work attempts to slow images down, aiming to, as she states, “keep the looker looking.” Read more

Kiwha Lee: Light Punch

19 Jan - 9 Mar 2024 CHART is pleased to present Light Punch, a solo exhibition by Kiwha Lee. Featuring a suite of new paintings, her work poses questions about what painting is in the 21st century, complicating the viewer's reading of pictorial hierarchy by engaging pattern as a narrative tool. Taking ancient Asian printmaking processes derived from craft traditions and reinventing them with oil paint, Lee explores notions of intersubjectivity between vision and immersion in the physical world. The exhibition, Lee’s first solo show in New York, will open with a reception on Friday, January 19, from 6–8pm, and remain on view through March 9, 2024. Read more
