This week’s gallery picks are all about observations and the interpretations of moments.

*            *            *

1. For true enough, Mary Temple debuts lush paintings on canvas and panel—text based abstractions embedded with philosophical and political phrases culled from cultural observation at Mixed Greens
2. POSE’s work explore the ever-evolving notion of the American Dream and its sometimes tenuous relationship to an experienced American history at Library Street Collective
3. Agostino Iacurci takes inspiration from everyday life creating bright multi-layered images, playing with synthetic shapes, bright colors and open titles. “Match Mismatch” is a consideration around the crucial role given to coincidences and correspondences in the interpretation and codification of reality at 19 Karen
4. Michelle Andrade debuts a series of seven acrylic-on- linen paintings that extend her text-based drawings into new figural ground. The work retains the poetic and diaristic qualities of Andrade’s earlier Notebook drawing series, commingling the mundane, the poetic, and the confessional amidst a swirl of brightly colored, nostalgic graphic forms at Charlie James Gallery
5. Jason Willaford’s latest body of work, “Bring into the Fold”, explores his constructivist methodology of quilted, cut and sewn discarded, petroleum-based billboards. It references the prolapse, the idea that these pieces are captured of galvanized at intervals in space and time by sewing pieces of vinyl together, as well as conglomerate constructions, where the artist either revisits or remains in the moment with the pieces at Galleri Urbane Marfa + Dallas
6.The work in Polly Apfelbaum’s exhibition “Colour Sessions” grew out of the artist’s experience Rome and, in particular, her fascination with the drapery and colored fabrics depicted in Renaissance and Baroque paintings which she saw there at Frith Street Gallery
