ArtList’s 3 Must See Shows: New New Mike Kelley & Adam Fuss Exhibits

Weekly post from ArtList, the online marketplace for private sales.

1. Adam Fuss @ Cheim & Read
September 9— October 17

Cheim & Read’s new solo show of Adam Fuss’s work, the first at the gallery since 2003, showcases the artist’s iconic photographic images, most often created by flashing light toward a sensitized surface onto which objects have been arranged. The exhibit specifically focus upon a major theme in Fuss’s recent pieces: snake imagery. Fuss challenges the societal perception of snakes as “negative and corrupt” with his own perspective on snakes as a “regenerative and fluid life force, pure energy echoing the undulation of waves an the cycle of reincarnation.”

On view at 547 West 25th Street, New York, NY.

2. “Continuous Surface” @ Andrea Rosen Gallery
September 10 — October 24

Andrea Rosen Gallery’s newest show proposes that “every era has its interface…every interface determines how we relate to the world,” and that touch screens are that interface for the 21st century. The gallery has assembled work from Sara Cwynar, Lukas Geronimas, Josh Reames, andCole Sayer to examine how our experience of the world changes it is flattened to fit onto a small, flat plane and how the past must be reinterpreted to fit into a new, digital context.

On view at 525 West 24th Street, New York NY.

3. Mike Kelley @ Hauser & Wirth
September 10 — October 24

Hauser & Wirth has collaborated with the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts to organize the gallery’s first exhibition of Kelley’s art. The exhibit of the late artist’s work focuses on his Kandors series, in which he reworked popular imagery and mythology from American comic books, exemplifying Kelley’s characteristic conflation of both elevated and based popular culture. The show also highlights Kelley’s diversity as an artist, including sculptures, videos and large-scale installations in the exhibition.
