Looking art in the face with this week’s choice gallery picks!

1. Addressing the human condition and its collective social existence through a series of unique works and a site-specific installation, Know Hope’s exhibition questions the ubiquitous notion of the “abstract and the very real”, the weight and burden of which though universally apparent is often unidentifiable to most at Lazarides
2. Adam Feibelman’s works are meditations on what we ask of others, what we ask of our surroundings, and how these questions guide not only our ever-changing city sculpture, but also our relationships to each other. The process of making these works echos this sentiment, where each cut is a decision based on utility at Guerroro Gallery
3.Alvaro Ilizarbe depicts landscape imagery on topographical tectonic plate shaped panels. The amorphous sculptural wall structures lead through a passageway of patterned wallpapers portraying the elements in the earth’s stratum at Martha Otero
4. Gabi Trinkaus and the Things to Come at Claire Oliver
5. John Van Hamersveld has been producing images that have defined the visual representation of surf and rock ‘n’ roll culture for over 50 years at .T.F.R. Gallery
6. Entropy is ASKEW ONE’s first international solo exhibition. Through this new body of work Entropy further refines Askew’s unique method of portraiture where the medium and portrait’s subject become a metaphor for a much bigger conversation.at Inner State Gallery
