Let us suggest heading uptown to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petzel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Petzel Gallery<\/a>. New York-based artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petzel.com\/exhibitions\/adam-mcewen3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adam McEwen<\/a> is set to show for the first time at Petzel Gallery&#8217;s Upper East Side location. Opening January 22 and on view through February 16, the exhibition coincides with an installation of recent works at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leverhouseartcollection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lever House<\/a> on Park Avenue, which runs January 30 through May 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The new series at Petzel represents an evolution for McEwen, expanding his practice into more prosaic, but also more challenging, territory. The works unpack and activate McEwen\u2019s signature graphite sculptures, which are mounted on rough plywood faced with aluminum and coated with an image of the subjects of the sculptures themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The objects present in McEwen\u2019s assemblages are so ubiquitous one\u2019s associations are likely to go beyond the physical or aesthetic. Shot in the artist\u2019s studio, McEwen uses materials at hand as backdrop, items that were used by McEwen for the purposes of creating precise, digital models for their graphite doppelg\u00e4ngers\u2014a thermostat, a hotel door handle with card reader, a Styrofoam food tray\u2014return and compete as subjects in two dimensions, all captured under the flash of an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read the full press release <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petzel.com\/exhibitions\/adam-mcewen3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Petzel Gallery is located on the third floor of 35 East 67th Street between Madison and Park Avenues, New York City.
