HIGHLIGHTS

There are many thought-provoking shows in Philadelphia this July. Beginning at Fleisher Art Memorial, three innovative Philadelphia sculptors combine materials in unexpected ways to reflect on intimacy, vulnerability, and natural phenomena. At the Fabric Workshop in center city, artist John Jarboe brings her cabaret aesthetic to create a stunning immersive experience titled Rose Garden following her life and gender journey. In Kensington, at Peep Projects Todd Stong’s delicate drawings and wall-sized multi-panel monotype reflect on the complexities of history, contemporary life, and what the artist terms queer cultural production.

HIGHLIGHTS

Chelsea has multiple exciting shows this summer, ranging from large group shows to solo retrospectives. We will highlight three shows with different curatorial premises. The Swimmer, a large-scale group show sprawling over the 9th and 10th floors of the FLAG Art Foundation, centers around the narrative of John Cheever’s short story from 1964, presenting works that dig into its themes and imagery. Another impressive large-scale group show surveys the increasing presence of weaving, textiles, and embroidery in contemporary art, featuring an international and intergenerational group of artists whose works push the boundaries of these traditional mediums. Lastly, at Pretzel, there is a beautifully curated retrospective of Malcolm Morley, offering a glimpse into the fascinating work of the late artist (1931–2018).

Anna’s Art Picks: Must-See Tribeca Exhibitions in June 2024

Description automatically generated — Francesca Mollett , GRIMM Gallery

London-based artist Francesca Mollett is now on view at the GRIMM gallery in a new solo exhibition titled Corso. In this second solo show at the gallery, Mollett presents more daring monumental canvases with bold colors, a contrast to the artist’s previous work. The work mirrors the subtlety of Vuillard and semi-recognizable abstraction, but the artist’s maturity and confidence make this a must-see in Tribeca. The show runs through June 22nd.
