Elise Engler at Frosch and Portmann Gallery

Having painted every block on Broadway and drawn every object she owns, New York artist Elise Engler is no stranger to the long-term project.  Her most recent obsession – creating a daily visual record of radio news headlines since November 2015 – has resulted in a dense installation of images on the walls of Frosch and Portman Gallery on the Lower East Side.  A somber recording of natural disasters, political intrigue and more, the assembled works testify to troubled times.  (On view through May 19th).
