Asya Geisberg Gallery’s summer group show ‘Cover Band,’ curated by gallery artist Gabriela Vainsencher, features artwork by fourteen artists whose work playfully engages with their artist forebears. Rebecca Morgan recasts Artemisia Gentileschi’s Penitent Magdalene as a self-portrait of the artist, bug-eyed and suffering from ailments including the effects of the ADHD medicine shortage. Elisa Soliven remakes and updates an intriguing square-bodied torso made by an unknown neolithic artist while here, 20th century German-Brazilian artist Eleanore Koch’s ‘Study for a Dreaming Palm Tree’ appears through a window of Lisha Bai’s hanging fabric work, as Bai retains but complicates Koch’s pared down style. (On view in Tribeca through Aug 16th).
