A look at artwork opening this week in exhibitions around the world. Derek Frech imagines a future in which the natural and technological have become seamlessly entwined, taking the title of his exhibition from Star Trek’s Holodeck. Jeff Gillette’s paintings picture a dismal future of urban slumscapes that also come out looking oddly idyllic, while Jordi Bernado uses photography to help us understand the contemporary cityscape.
Also featuring Yu Haibo, Robin Rose, Philip Pearlstein, Norbert Bisky, Kit Nagamura, Caroline McCarthy, and Louis Faircough.
