Helen Marten, Third Moment Profile | The Almost Horse (Installation View), via Sadie Coles HQ

On view during the run of exhibitions and shows surrounding the bustle of Frieze London, Sadie Coles HQ’s fall exhibition welcomes the work of artist Helen Marten this month, playing on notions of monumentality, scale and production through a range of motifs and concepts. Centered on a single conceit: the attempt the depict a horse, the show unfolds through a range of materials and modes that underscore the artist’s conceptually rigorous, yet playful approach to art-marking. In each instance, a sense of the inaccessible stands in the way of success, failing to materialize a horse through language or image.

Christina Forrer, Sepulcher (2021), via Luhring Augustine

On view this month in New York, artist Christina Forrer marks her second exhibition at Luhring Augustine, on view at the gallery’s Tribeca location, with a series of new weavings and drawings, continuing her expressive and enigmatic approach to the medium with a range of works that mix together powerful symbolisms with an animated and vibrant sense of energy.  Read More »

Erika Verzutti, Churros and Rain (Installation View), via Andrew Kreps

Tactile in its approach, Erika Verzutti’s practice rests between sculpture and painting, drawing on a wide range of references from nature to popular culture. Shapes derived from fruits or vegetables recur alongside familiar objects, self-referential gestures, and images culled from social media to form a new vernacular. Firmly rooted in studio practice, Verzutti’s work revels in its process and explores how disparate ideas and perceptions take on a physical form. For her most recent exhibition at Andrew Kreps in New York, the artist continues that mode over a range of materials and approaches.  Read More »

Claudio Parmiggiani, Untitled (2022), via Bortolami

On view this month at Bortolami Gallery in New York, artist Claudio Parmiggiani has installed a body of new work that continues his enigmatic and materially-oriented approach through a range of new canvases. Utilizing simple operations of fire and ash posed against a stark white canvas, Parmiggiani’s work in the show makes the most of the most simple of operations to create lyrically rich subject matter.

Mary Heilmann, Glassy Wall (2020), via 303 Gallery

A California native, Mary Heilmann has been gazing out at the ocean since the age of three, and this fascination with the landscape and climate of her home state continues in her work to this day. Across Heilmann’s surfaces, waves swiftly build in one canvas before crashing over into the next. This notion sits at the center of Heilmann’s current show, Daydream, on view at 303 Gallery in New York. Read More »

Urs Fischer, Denominator (2020-2022), via Art Observed

Continuing his enigmatic and playful engagement with the languages of artistic production, pop culture and materiality, artist Urs Fischer returns to Gagosian in New York this month for a strikingly surreal and technologically-driven body of new works, unified under the title Denominator. Exploring concepts of data compilation and agglomeration, as well as the meanings that systems of organization and exhibition create, the show uses digital imagery as a structure of recontextualizing and complicating the act of creation and the understanding of an image.  Read More »
