Nov. 29–Jan.8, 2023
Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Avenue, Lenox Hill (armoryonpark.org)
Featuring music from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and jazz drummers, Julian Rosefeldt’s immersive multi-channel film installation dives headfirst into the breakneck absurdity of capitalism as performers in bizarro sites of consumption deliver quotes from figures like Ayn Rand, Warren Buffett, and Snoop Dogg.
Saya Woolfalk: Field Notes From the Empathic Universe
Oct. 21–Dec.31
Newark Museum of Art 49 Washington Street, Newark, New Jersey (newarkmuseumart.org)
Brooklyn-based artist Saya Woolfalk’s socially realistic fiction is a posthuman world where the Empathics, a special race of women, fuse diverse cultures to produce hybrid artifacts and relics. Also on display is Woolfalk’s first self-portrait, which critiques nationalism and belonging, placed next to the museum’s renowned collection of Hudson River School paintings.
