Over the weekend, Jeremy Fish opened his latest exhibit at the Laguna Art Musuem. The San Francisco-based artist put together new works which are “largely about transformation and rebirth through struggle. Deliberately drawing from our own current economic and political events and its impact on us socially and emotionally, Fish’s characters reveal a narrative of evolution through struggle to obtain a more magnificent and resilient place. In this exhibition, Fish has created paintings surrounded by hand carved wood frames, as well as three-dimensional figures for the gallery wall installation and wooden sculptures.” The show runs until January 17th.

Barbara Kruger has a new installation at New York’s Lever House. Launching last month, the artist covered the entire gallery including the windows with words and phrases. This is what the artist had to say: “I think what I’m trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience. I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty”. You can view the installation until November 21st.

D*Face will be opening his new exhibit this Saturday at New York’s Jonathan Levine Gallery. The title, Ludovico Aversion Therapy / All Your Dreams Belong To Us, is a reference to Kubrick’s Clockwork Orange in which the patient’s eyelids are forced open to watch disturbing footage containing subliminal messages. The London-based street artist stated: “If you’ve ever wondered what goes on inside of my mind, this body of work is it. A visual interpretation of lucid dreams—the replaying, disassembly and reconfiguring of images held in one’s mind… it’s as much ‘Exquisite Corpse’ as everyday Ludovico Aversion Therapy.” The exhibit runs until October 10th.
