Winter getting you down? Escape NYC this week in Flux Factory’s utopian village, also known as Banquet for America. A group of conceptual and performance artists will inhabit a mock village for the week and explore the ritual and communal aspects of the banquet table in their town square. At Salon 94 Bowery, Jon Kessler’s multimedia installation The Blue Period explores the pitfalls of a consumerist society mediated by technology. Cameras throughout the exhibition will display both live and prerecorded footage, blurring reality and artifice. Other highlights for the week include Mary Corse’s paintings with glass microspheres at Lehmann Maupin, Tony Cragg’s sculptures at Marian Goodman, and drawings by Anne Truitt spanning four decades at Matthew Marks Gallery.
Don’t forget Artlog’s Lower East Side Art Crawl on Saturday, February 4, including the New Museum and thirteen galleries along Bowery. The tour ends with an after-party at Gallery Bar, which currently has a show of photographs by Wyatt Neumann. For a full listing of events this week, check here.
