This solo exhibition of paintings by Thomas Berding continues the artist\u2019s exploration of the seemingly endless sense of surplus that surrounds and defines many aspects of our contemporary existence. Drawing from conceptual and material structures and choices which linger beyond their intended use, in compelling fashion Berding\u2019s recent paintings give vision to a world where new connections are constantly being forged and associations drawn.<\/p>\n

The starting point for Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker\u2019s\u00a0Work\/Travail\/Arbeid<\/em>\u00a0is a simple question: Can choreography be performed in the form of an exhibition? To answer that question, she reinterpreted her dance performance\u00a0Vortex Temporum<\/em>\u00a0(2013), which was originally performed in a theater, for the radically different temporal and physical circumstances of a museum; the original length of the work was expanded into cycles of nine hours, and it was adapted to the specific characteristics of the space.<\/p>\n

Lorene Anderson\u2019s paintings have a kinetic energy perfectly fitting her exploration of turbulence, gesture, and the movement and folds of space. Her undulating stripes, dimensional layers, and selective use of reflective paint transforms a two-dimensional surface into a churning, vibrating composition. The dynamic nature of her pieces even suggests environments beyond the picture plane itself, her marks seemingly extending around and beyond the edges of her paintings.<\/p>\n

Tom Forkin\u2019s first solo show in Manhattan is appropriately titled, Manhattan. Characters wander through deserted streets in the rain, rest pensively against light posts, and stalk their neighbors from rear windows. Arranged on the walls like a storyboard, but with no rigid order, Forkin\u2019s preferred neutral palette recalls muddy puddles and cloudy skies.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is a demonstration of uniqueness and an exaltation of the individuality that stems from various genders, races, religions, geographies, and histories. The inclusion of all is what makes this country great. The divine spark shines in every person living in truth and committed to their ideals. Exhibited together, the Saints are a celebration of the beauty of difference. The installation serves to highlight our wholeness and shared humanity. Through action, we are claiming our history, herstory and our story. The closing party will feature a special Operatic performance by Juecheng Chen, Patron Saint of Concentration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
