1. Jack Pierson’s new body of work is comprised of small watercolor and graphite works on paper, paintings and driftwood assemblages, made while in a self-imposed retreat on the island of North Captiva, on Florida’s gulf coast, from December to March, of the past year at Cheim Read
2. In Mauricio Toro Goya’s Milagreros, he reveals the reality behind folklore at Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca
3. Les Biller’s latest work is informed by the vibrant pacific sunlight in Los Angeles & Hawaii, and the intrigues of visiting China & living in Japan at Rosamund Felsen Gallery
4. In 1964, inspired by both the long history of art and by imagery he found on contemporary printed postcards, Roy Lichtenstein began to explore the genre of land and seascapes, using paint, plastic, enamel, drawings, collage, print, and even film to realize his various works at Guild Hall
5. Robert Seydel created a series of works using the alter ego Ruth Greisman, a resident of Queens, New York, who was inspired by his aunt of the same name; his exhibition features a definitive selection from this fictional archive with a selection of Ruth’s “journal pages” and almost one hundred collages at Queens Museum
6. Lindsay Morris’ “You Are You” documents an annual weekend summer camp for gender-nonconforming children and their families at Clamp Art
