Nick Cave: If a Tree Falls
by Alan GilbertDEC 18-JAN 19 | ArtSeen
Three untitled sculptural installations in Nick Cave’s current exhibition, If a Tree Falls, feature tightly bunched rows of black fiberglass and polyurethane hands reaching up in a gesture that might be a greeting, a sign of solidarity, or a request for help. All three versions are dated 2018, as is the rest of the work contained in Cave’s show, which is spread across both of Jack Shainman’s Chelsea venues.
Exiles of Eden
JUL-AUG 2019 | Books
Osman’s new book is about Adam and Eve and the idea of exile as something embedded within all people, refugees and the destruction of landscape.
Tau Lewis: I bet this cave has been here for a really long time
by Magdalyn AsimakisDEC 18-JAN 19 | ArtSeen
Water is in the background of each scene in Tau Lewis’ film cyphers, tissue, blizzards, exile that she made in collaboration with her mother, Patty Kelly, in 2017. The film is a series of clips from archival family videos shot in Jamaica on a smart phone. In these low-res, ghostlike fragments, water is depicted in the distance from the street, below the boats that carry them, and above and around the camera as it rains. Water is a context, a realm, and a life support—it is ancient and deep.

Each artist honors a legacy of mark-making in their work: finding inspiration in the cave petroglyphs of our most distant ancestors; the mutable materiality of the urban environment; and the accumulated etchings of the city milieu.
