Sue Williams A’Court, Desire and Longing 18, 2016

Bo. lee Gallery presents a solo show of Sue Williams A’Court. According to A’Court’s website, she “A’Court’s practice explores the notion of the visual sublime working within painting, collage and drawing, she employs re-imagined landscapes as a trigger for encounter or contemplation.” The above piece is graphite on canvas, and the details are incredible, so it deserves to be seen up close and in person.

 

Davidson Contemporary, Booth A-114

Davidson Contemporary caught our eye with this piece by Boo Saville. Another favorite was a paper-cut piece by Thomas Witte.

Michael Maxwell, Phosphenes – Cascading and Rising, 2015

This psychedelic piece by Michael Maxwell is what first drove us to explore Garis & Hahn’s booth that also features work by Karen Margolis and Lala Abaddon.

 

PLAY, near Booth A-208

While not exactly a booth, PLAY deserves an honorable mention. PLAY, the fair’s dedicated platform for new media and video works, is curated by The Cultivist’s Joey Lico, who selected videos that “challenge this communal understanding and actively illuminate the contemporary knowledge that when one culture regards the rituals or landscapes of another, those scenes are instantly incorporated into a foreign mental framework. They are helplessly interpreted through some habit of thought different from the habit of the artists.”

 

PULSE New York, March 3-6th.
