The show opens with a public reception on Thursday, May 21, 2026 from 5–8 pm and remains on view through August 9, 2026 at 322 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn. Unmoored / Unbound brings together works that explore themes of loss, transition, liberation, freedom, and deliverance. The exhibition takes its dual title seriously, presenting art that sits at the intersection of release and uncertainty, where the experience of being unmoored from the familiar opens onto something larger and less defined. The collaboration with Powerhouse Arts, the Gowanus arts center and fabrication facility that has become one of Brooklyn’s most vital creative spaces, gives the exhibition a fitting home. The industrial scale and open spirit of the venue amplifies the show’s themes, providing room for works that think expansively about what it means to break free. Unmoored / Unbound is a timely exhibition, arriving at a moment when questions of transition and liberation feel especially urgent. BWAC’s juried format brings together a range of voices and practices united by a shared inquiry into what lies beyond the bounds of the familiar. Exhibition Details Show: Unmoored / Unbound Presented by: Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) Opening Reception: Thursday, May 21, 2026 | 5–8 pm On View: May 21 – August 9, 2026 Venue: Powerhouse Arts | 322 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215 Hours: Weekdays 10 am–7 pm | Weekends 10 am–5 pm Closed: Memorial Day, May 25 and Fourth of July, July 4, 2026 Website: bwac.org

encoded: Xiaorui Huang’s “Between Ash and Light” Opens at Coil & Cord in Brooklyn Coil & Cord Studio presents Between Ash and Light, the first solo exhibition in New York City by painter and mixed-media artist Xiaorui Huang. The show opens with a public reception on Thursday, May 28, 2026 from 6:30–9 pm and remains on view through June 20, 2026 at 200 6th Street in Brooklyn. Between Ash and Light brings together large-scale paintings combining vigorous brushwork, layered mixed media, and collage to engage directly with personal and collective stories. Huang’s work centers themes of feminism, environmental justice, political resistance, and the struggles of marginalized communities in Asian American contexts and beyond. The exhibition includes Huang’s Anger series, created in response to the deadly 2022 fire in a predominantly Uyghur neighborhood of Urumqi, Xinjiang, which sparked protests across China. The series transforms grief and collective resistance into visual testimony. A member of the artist-run cooperative Bowery Gallery, Huang has shown work in New York at the Shirley Fiterman Art Center and Powerhouse Arts, and internationally at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

encoded: Jet Too Holiday at A Space gallery is a group exhibition examining what happens to visual language when images no longer promote, sell, or serve any product. Built from the ruins of advertising, the show asks what an image becomes when desire is detached from an object. The participating artists transform fluorescent palettes, geometric motifs, and seductive surfaces into new forms, echoing marketing language that’s stripped of function. Across the exhibition, works unravel the mechanisms of emotional capitalism and digitally manipulated desire using the language of marketing. The result is a “holiday of desire”—a space to wander and question the fictions driving today’s visual environment. Exhibition Information Title: Jet Too Holiday Venue: A Space Location: 13 Grattan St, #402, Brooklyn, NY 11206 Dates: November 23 – December 6, 2025 Artists: Yu Kyung Chung, Ruby Driscoll, Xiao Ge, Xilichen Hua, Herok, Peter Leone, Miyuki Tsushima, Weiyuan Wang Curators: Keming Chang, Zhen Lin Website: https://www.aspacegallery.net Featured Image TALENT INC. 144 editions (2024) Silkscreen printing, 144 takeout boxes 44 × 44 × 28 in Artist: Weiyuan Wang

encoded: Presented by M. David & Co., the exhibition Singing in Unison, Part 12: Painting in Space brings together four artists whose innovations reshaped the possibilities of geometry, scale, and dimensionality in painting. Al Held, Elizabeth Murray, Judy Pfaff, and Frank Stella—artists linked by friendship, admiration, and influence—are shown together here for the first time. Curated by Michael David in cooperation with the Brooklyn Rail’s ongoing Singing in Unison series, the presentation expands the conversation on how form becomes space, and how painting pushes past its own boundaries. The exhibition originates from a conversation between David and Judy Pfaff several years ago—one that moved fluidly from Pfaff’s mentorship under Al Held to her deep friendships with Elizabeth Murray and her admiration for Frank Stella. While the four were not literally “in unison” at any single point in time, their shared rigor, geometric language, and refusal to accept painting’s limits bound them together. Held’s vast spatial illusions, Murray’s shaped canvases, Pfaff’s sculptural environments, and Stella’s architectural constructions each challenge the flat plane. Their approaches diverge, but all insist that painting can occupy space—physically, optically, and conceptually. Viewed together, the works reveal how these artists bent geometry toward personal vocabularies, tested painting’s edges, and redefined what a picture could be. The exhibition closes with Pfaff’s 2005 tribute to Held, originally published in The Brooklyn Rail, a statement that resonates across all four practices: painting as frontier, deep space as possibility, and the ongoing search for forms that open rather than contain. This gathering—decades in the making—finally brings these artists into literal conversation. In this moment, Held, Murray, Pfaff, and Stella are indeed Singing in Unison. —Michael David EXHIBITION INFORMATION Singing in Unison, Part 12: Painting in Space Artists: Al Held, Elizabeth Murray, Judy …

encoded: Smack Mellon’s latest exhibition, Dead Parrot Radio, finds Armando Guadalupe Cortés reimagining communication—between people, across distances, and even across species. The large-scale installation brings together steel sculptures modeled after communication towers, a performance stage built around a record player inherited from the artist’s father, and a sound work that pairs family recordings with the chatter of their pet parrots. What emerges is a portrait of longing: messages that travel but don’t quite land, connections attempted but never fully secured. Cortés threads stories from family history, folklore, and lived experience into objects that feel both industrial and deeply personal. Parrot and macaw feathers appear throughout the gallery—formed into orbs or stitched into a maritime signal flag that reads, pointedly, “I wish to communicate with you.” Yet even this gesture is complicated: parrots perceive color differently than humans, making the signal legible to us but possibly meaningless to them. Across towers, feathers, and sound, Cortés uses the exhibition to stage a gentle but persistent call—one shaped by migration, memory, and the ache of distances that technology can’t fully bridge.

The show highlights Chicago’s enduring commitment to material experimentation, idiosyncratic abstraction, and the kind of studio-driven intensity that continues to shape the region’s identity. While the exhibition spans generations and approaches, a shared sense of place runs through the work—echoes of the city’s industrial geometry, its pragmatism, and its persistent belief in the power of making. Participating Artists Lynn Basa, Leslie Baum, Phyllis Bramson, Jason Branscum, Judith Brotman, Robert Burnier, Dee Clements, William Conger, Laura Davis, David Ese Gagoh, Diana Guerrero-Maciá, Steven Husby, Sam Jaffe, Kelly Kaczynski, Michael Kaysen, Anna Kunz, Olivia Schreiner, Joe Scott, Edra Soto, Shonna Pryor, Tony Tasset, Ann Toebbe, Selina Trepp, Nathan Vernau, Christine Wallers, Justin Witte.

This year’s edition, curated by Yara Doumani, brings together artists from across the country. Small scale can often encourage a more intimate encounter, and Doumani’s selection leans into that dynamic. The show spans sculpture, painting, fiber, mixed media, and photography, creating a dense but lively presentation that rewards close viewing. The pieces range from the whimsical to the contemplative, highlighting how constraint can be a powerful creative engine. “It has been an honor to curate the 2025 Small Works Show at 440 Gallery,” Doumani notes. “This year’s exhibition showcases the immense diversity of forms and themes conveyable through small-scale works…These small works invoke curiosity, delight, and important questions about our world and collective being.” Doumani, a Brooklyn-based Palestinian American curator and material culture historian, currently works with the Brooklyn Museum’s Arts of Africa, Asia, and the Islamic World. Her curatorial approach reflects a deep interest in how objects carry meaning—an idea that resonates throughout the exhibition. Selected Artists Huda Alawi, Walter Andersons, David Askew, Sebastian Kim Bateman, Dania Bayan, Elena Behrakis, Barbara Bitondo, Lauren Blankstein, Andree Brown, Elizabeth Caputo, Caroline Curtin, Patricia Dattoma, John Decker, Aidan Sofia Earle, Cynthia Egle-Grant, Cynthia Flaxman Frank, Susan Greenstein, Annaleah Gregoire, Stella Hendricks, Edward Hutchinson, Jill Inbar, Arielle Jennings, Jenna Jerman, Erin Juliana, Quinn Keck, Sonia Kilcoyne, Hyunju Kim, David (Han Jin) Kim, Julie Kinu Egresitz, Lauren Klenow, Veronica Knell, Sally Kong, Jordan Kornreich, Maggie Leininger, Zhiyao Li, Christopher M Liatsis, Huaqi Liu…

encoded: Our Brooklyn is a temporary public art installation created by Brooklyn-based artist Phoebe Lo for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Celebrating the ways in which Brooklyn communities come together through work, social, and cultural life, the playful and colorful installation spans Flushing Avenue between Clermont Avenue and Carlton Avenue. Using graphic shapes and icons, Lo’s work is representational and abstracted. The use of acrylic and painted wood creates eye-catching textures while also allowing for the play of light and shadows throughout the day. Lo’s work is soft and surreal and full of symbolism. Motivated by a lifelong dedication to play, she is not bound by one material and works in murals and public art sculptures. Contribute to this public art installation! The “What Shapes Our Brooklyn Project” is now open. Brooklyn residents are invited to draw a shape that represents Brooklyn through their unique lens. Shapes can be representational or abstract. From the pool of submitted shapes, the artist will select several dozen and bring them to life as part of the installation at Building 92. One entry per Brooklyn resident please.

encoded: A lively spring season begins at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition on Saturday April 26, with the opening of four fresh new shows: • Animalia • Threaded Visions: Fashion in Art • Order/Chaos • Sergei Saakian – Dreamscapes • Reimagining What Was Left Behind Animalia, a national juried show, explores humankind’s millennia-long obsession with animals as the subject of art. The earliest known examples of abstract thinking and artistic skills by our ancestors are painted depictions of pigs found on cave walls in Indonesia. In the intervening 45,000 years since their creation, he enduring fascination with the representation of animal in art has continued and flourished. BWAC kicks off its 2025 season celebrating our relationship with “Animalia” of all kinds. In cooperation with this exhibition, the nonprofit NYC Teens for Animals, Inc. will host a cat adoption at the gallery on Sunday May 4, 2025. For more info about NYC Teens for Animals, visit https://nyctfa.com/ Threaded Visions: Fashion in Art is a second national juried show to kick off the season. Fashion has long been more than just utilitarian protection from the elements – it is a statement of self-expression, reflecting culture, identity, and time. Throughout history artists have depicted fashion in their work, capturing trends and styles that tell stories of class, power, and innovation. Simultaneously, fashion designers have drawn inspiration from art, incorporation techniques, textures and narratives from painting, sculptures, and architecture into their creations. Threaded Visions presents dialogue between these two modes of expression. Order/Chaos is the theme of 2025’s first BWAC member exhibition. Order and chaos are often superficially considered opposites, yet both ideas depend upon the other for definition. They often coexist in tension. In this exhibition, BWAC artist explore how they define the two and deal with order and chaos in their work and lives. Expect a wide variety of approaches in a…

This exhibition marks Hakimian’s first solo exhibition internationally and is personally curated by Maria Yoon, a renowned filmmaker, entrepreneur, and museum consultant, who brings her unique vision to this showcase of Hakimian’s compelling artistry. Garo Hakimian, an emerging talent often mistaken for the work of George Baselitz, is known for his innovative approach to contemporary art. His body of work explores themes of identity, healing, and the human experience, reflecting a deep engagement with personal and collective narratives that draw upon his Armenian heritage and the complexities of modern life. Hakimian’s journey as an artist has been profoundly influenced by his upbringing in Montreal, Canada, where he was inspired by the vibrant arts community nurtured by his late father, a dedicated supporter of the arts. Through his artistic practice, Hakimian seeks to embody the transformative power of creativity, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own stories and experiences. His works, which include dynamic self-portraits and expressive pieces such as “WWIII,” “WWIV,” and “Fish of God,” serve as poignant reflections of his inner journey. Each piece is a testament to resilience and growth, inviting audiences to engage with the multifaceted nature of human emotion. Hakimian often uses a mix of mediums, including spray paint, oil sticks, and charcoal, creating a fluidity that mirrors the essence of freedom and healing. His art has gained recognition not only in traditional gallery settings but also through the expansive reach of social media, allowing him to connect with a diverse audience and validate his artistic identity. Hakimian’s famous saying is, “My work is never finished,” always in pursuit of intangible freedom. Garo Hakimian b.1985, Montreal. Currentl…

encoded: Stars represent destiny and the future. Their light travels through time, tracing the path of the universe in human lives. Dining, on the other hand, is a warm and intimate ritual that symbolizes connection and sharing. While meals are part of daily life, the stars remain distant, representing mystery and infinity. When celestial revelations meet the warmth of the dining table, “Dining on the Stars” transforms an ordinary meal into a ritual—a conversation with fate and a connection to the future. We invite artists to create a “Feast of Fate” through diverse mediums, exploring the connection and tension between real-world choices and imagined destinies. By deconstructing and reinterpreting the concepts of “stars” and “dining,” artists will explore the delicate balance between fate and free will. For this exhibition, the gallery will be transformed into a grand dining table, inviting interaction between the audience and the artworks to find their “predestined seat.” Through this experience, “Dining on the Stars” inspires a new perspective on the interplay of fate and choice in life’s journey. https://www.aspacegallery.net/diningonthestars Submission Fee: $25 Application Deadline: 3/10, 2025 Exhibition Dates: 3/22 – 4/4, 2025 Location: A Space Gallery, 13 Grattan St, #402, Brooklyn, NY 11206
