James Kalm visits the Hole Gallery’s exhibition, “Booby Trap,” a selection of figurative paintings. Featuring works by: Melissa Brown, Caroline Wells Chandler, Maja Djordjevic, Misaki Kawai, Anders Oinonen, Joakim Ojanen and Anja Salonen, these works all show an awareness (both conceptually and painterly) of the flattened pictorial space that, due to the ubiquitous presence of screens, has become an ideological position of perception. In a “bonus-round” stroll, we’ll check out Philadelphian artist Jeffrey Wright, who displays a selection of large format color photos documenting his cash stash, many with humorous back drops, cuddly pet portraits, or bizarre costumed selfies.

opens tonight, 6-8p:
Tom Wesselmann
Mitchell-Innes & Nash Gallery, 534 W26th St., NYC
first major painting retrospective of Tom Wesselmann in New York since the artist’s death in 2004.
“With this important exhibition, we hope to show how Wesselmann has filtered the canonical subjects of art—still life, the nude and the landscape—through a unique and personal lens using the media and technical innovation of the sixties, seventies and eighties, offering new possibilities for painting.”
– Lucy Mitchell-Innes
