Shulamit Nazarian | Friends and Lovers, July 15 – August 19, 2023

“Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present Friends and Lovers, an exhibition that brings together over twenty artists exploring ideas of kinship. Featuring painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture, the exhibition spans eight decades, uniting a cross-disciplinary and intergenerational group of artists. Friends and Lovers explores the subtleties of intimacy, foregrounding quiet moments typically shared privately among couples and small groups. Lingering on these moments, the exhibition uncovers the power, promise, and fantasy inherent to such deep partnerships.

Presented in a salon-style with artworks dramatically ranging in scale, Friends and Lovers invokes the manner that family photographs and ephemera are often encountered in a domestic setting. Together, the works uncover the senses of longing and delicate connections in romantic, familial, and platonic relationships, allowing the affirmations of friends and lovers to place otherworldly dreams within the realm of possibility. “

ROSEGALLERY | Kennedi Carter: A MEDITATION ON THE UNTITLED, July 22 – September 3, 2023

“Kennedi Carter draws from her ancestral canon of Black and Southern experiences through skin, texture, intimacy, home, and community. A MEDITATION ON THE UNTITLED is Kennedi Carter’s Big Bang - a precipice conjured by notions of creativity and self-reflection. Carter creates her own cosmology in the realm of Blackness, bolstered by a reverence for self and identity. She lures audiences into a universe of her own making - that which is queer, that which is other, that which is woman, that which is too often colonized, but that which, by her artistry and intention, is permitted to let down any and all guards.

“As a Durham, North Carolina native (by way of Texas and Virginia), Kennedi Carter’s primary passion is that of depicting Black life in the South. A MEDITATION ON THE UNTITLED is a visual compilation of her passion coupled with love as praxis. As her own father, philosopher and theologian J. Kameron Carter once said, this practiced love is ‘an air pocket to breathe.’”

Katonah Museum of Art | Wu Chi-Tsung: Synchronicity, July 9 – October 1, 2023

“The Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) presents Wu Chi-Tsung: Synchronicity, the first museum solo exhibition of Taiwanese artist Wu Chi-Tsung. The exhibition will showcase the artist’s multi-disciplinary practice and highlights the artist’s most recent Cyano-Collage series. This ambitious body of work seamlessly incorporates Eastern aesthetics with collage and photographic processes to create sublime reinterpretations of traditional Chinese Shan Shui (mountain-water) landscape paintings. The KMA is delighted for this unique opportunity to champion the innovative techniques and practices of oneof the most exciting contemporary artists of our time.

“Wu’s formative practice explored themes of identity, consumer culture, and urbanization, and often used photography and digital manipulation to create surreal and fantastical worlds. He later turned his attention towards traditional Chinese painting, reimagining it through the lens of contemporary art and digital technology. His Cyano-Collage series, which will be the focus of his first solo museum exhibition at the KMA, is the latest and most prodigious iteration of this ongoing exploration.”
