Maybe it’s the rainy weather, but these days I’ve been feeling extra nostalgic for my old arthouse film haunts — the (often tiny) theaters that screened an eclectic mix of experimental films, video art, and more that you won’t generally find on streaming sites. These days, the Brooklyn Museum’s Art on the Stoop series is attempting to fill a bit of that gap by projecting video works by the likes of Arthur Jafa, Wangechi Mutu, Sara Cwynar, and Jeffrey Gibson.

Nostalgia also sits front and center in Kevin Beasley’s current show at Casey Kaplan, which Alexandra Thomas calls a tribute to the “materiality and memories of traditions disrupted by the pandemic.” And Thomas shares her thoughts on the stunning Julia Phillips exhibition on view at Matthew Marks.

Also worth catching: this timely film series focused on voting rights, Joan Witek’s buzz-worthy, (almost) all-black show at Minus Space, and James Luna’s exhibition at Garth Greenan — the first since the radical artist’s death.

Don’t forget your mask.

Since September, the Brooklyn Museum has been putting on Art on the Stoop: Sunset Screenings, a free outdoor exhibition which presents video art works from the museum’s collection (along with a few key loans).

Starting October 14, the museum will screen a special program featuring moving image works by artists such as Howardena Pindell, Jeffrey Gibson, and Adama Delphine Fawundu, projected on a 30-foot screen for viewers gathered on the museum’s expansive public plaza.

Last week, around 50 people clad in black gathered outside Elmhurst Hospital in Queens to mourn the thousands of lives lost to the COVID-19 virus. Amid the pain and loss, the demonstrators hoped to convey a message: “Vote.”
