WEDNESDAY

40 Years of Artists Space at NYU’s Fales Library and Special Collections
January 31 – March 15
Opening: January 30, 6-9PM
70 Washington Square So, Third Floor
As an “original” member of the founding years of the alternative space scene that defined downtown New York in the 1970s, Artists Space stands also as an example of how the ethos, necessity, and viability of such spaces has shifted across four decades, echoing the broader changes in the social and cultural landscape during the same period.

Opening: January 30, 7-8PM
192 Tenth Avenue at 21st Street

THURSDAY

Aneta Bartos: “Boys” at The Carlton Arms Hotel
January 31 – February 21
Opening: January 31, 6-9PM
160 East 25th Street, Rooms 1A and 4A
While the men Bartos photographs are performing intimate, personal acts for the camera, they are made anonymous by the low light and long exposures.  In many instances the subjects look more like gestural sculptures than people with actual identities.  The duration of this exhibition will be accessible via a key at the front desk.  Curated by Jon Feinstein.

Opening: January 31, 6-8PM

SATURDAY

“Nevermore” at On Stellar Rays
February 3 – March 10
Opening: February 2, 6-8PM
133 Orchard Street
Nevermore imagines Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven,” a classic of American dark romanticism. Unlike his puritanical predecessors or Transcendentalists peers, Poe ventured toward the dark recesses of the human mind, and the view that human existence is burdened, if not defined, by longing, sin, and sorrow, and the desire to simultaneously remember and regress the past.  Artists include: Athanasios Argianos, Maiken Bent, John Brill, Liam Everett, Zipora Fried, Samara Golden, Leigh Ledare, Dorothea Tanning, This is our work, and Hans Witschi.
