“No Name” at On Stellar Rays
June 20 – July 25
Opening: June 20, 6-8PM
133 Orchard Street
The artists in “No Name” refuse to be pinned down or labeled, and their work cannot be described coherently. Instead of paintings or sculpture they create gestures, memories and detritus. The results refuse quotation marks, but demand air quotes—flimsy hatch marks made of helium or neon that may fly away, sizzle out or explode.
“Sunsets and Pussy” at Marianne Boesky Gallery
June 20 – August 16
Opening: June 20, 6-8PM
509 West 24th Street
This exhibition brings together two classic themes of summer wonder —so saccharine and ubiquitous we forget their awesome power. Spanning three generation, artists Ed Ruscha, Lucien Smith, Betty Tompkins, and Piotr Uklanski each engage in the delight of exposing the cliched beauty and banality inherent in these timeless images.

June 20 – July 26
Opening: June 20, 6-8PM

“Rebel Dabble Babble” is a collaboration between Paul McCarthy and his son Damon McCarthy. The McCarthys present a large and complex installation and video projection work originally inspired by both Nicholas Ray’s 1955 classic Hollywood film “Rebel Without a Cause” and the furious rumors that swirled around the off-set relationships between its director and his stars James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo.
