This Week in Art Openings: Cameron Fuller, Karina Wisniewska & "Death Is Not the End"
By Mary Logan Barmeyer
Cameron Fuller, Non-Euclidean Zones
Despite the fact that it’s called “non-Euclidean,” there’s a lot of geometry going on here. The entire gallery has been transformed -- mostly with masking tape, ink and crayon -- into a bona fide two- and three-dimensional village. Although Fuller conceived his village before construction like any good urban planner, most of it was imagined in situ over the course of the few days he spent installing it. Colorful collages adorn.
Bespoke Gallery, 547 W. 27th St., (212) 695-8201. Opening December 18, 6–8 p.m. Through January 17.
Karina Wisniewska, The Sand, the Line and the Consequences: New Paintings
This Swiss-based artist uses quartz sand and acrylic on canvas to create black calligraphic shapes. She was formally trained in classical music, but an accident ended her musical career, and now her “sound pictures” take on the task of harmony and counterpoint themselves.
Sara Tecchia Roma New York, 529 W.20th St., (212) 741-2900. Opening reception, December 18, 6–8 p.m. Through January 31.
Death Is Not the End
Rest in peace, 31Grand. The gallery is coming to a close -- but not an end -- after nine years of showcasing artists from the emerging to the established. Toast a farewell Saturday night at the retrospective group exhibition with works by artists who have exhibited there over the decade. It’s a celebration and commemoration, so hold your tears and just jam to DJ Kid Magic.
31Grand, 143 Ludlow St., (212) 228-0901. December 20, 6–9 p.m.
