A predilection for perceiving temporal synchronicities, patterns, and movements unfolding in the visual field explains the pure poetry of so many images in Dona Ann McAdams’s current show at Pratt Manhattan Gallery.

Curated by James Voorhies and Claudia Mattos, Rachel Feinstein’s show The Miami Years captures the ambivalence, magic, scariness and mystique of the historic city. There is reverence for the deep, green, stimulating fecundity of nature, and an abiding astonishment at (and enjoyment of) the socially louche non-culture of the 1970s and ’80s Miami scene.
