This week’s artists reference a starting point from which their work leaps into something wholly their own.

1. Tauba Auerbach’s newly created sculptures and photographs take as their starting point the scientific principles of symmetry and reflection as a means to hint at an alternate, mirror universe at Institute of Contemporary Arts
2. The works in this exhibition address the tension between the advancing economical, industrial, social and environmental issues that affect communities across the world, uniting us all and enabling Liu Bolin to communicate powerfully and effectively to a global audience at Scream London
3. Bradley Castellanos’ pictures “are not the depiction of an actual place; the initial photograph is a departure point to an imagined world achieved through manipulation, cutting, and painting.” at Ryan Lee
4. Reenacting the Old Masters, with a little twist at Stux Gallery
5. Articulated Structure investigates the roots of architectural, neurological, musical, and visual form. at Dedee Shattuck Gallery
6. Often inspired by contemporary and historical events, Swoon engages with climate change in her installation as a response to the catastrophic Hurricane Sandy that struck the Atlantic Coast in 2012, and Doggerland, a landmass that once connected Great Britain and Europe and that was destroyed by a tsunami 8,000 years ago at Brooklyn Museum
