Josephine Meckseper at Andrea Rosen Gallery

In her large-scale vitrines, German artist Josephine Meckseper brings together a replica of Brancusi’s endless column, underwear modeling mannequins and more to question how appropriating historical and contemporary artifacts can create new meaning.  (At Andrea Rosen Gallery in Chelsea through Jan 18th.  Check website for holiday season opening hours.)

Michael Raedecker at Andrea Rosen Gallery

Dutch artist Michael Raedecker’s latest solo show summons opulence and decay in equal measure with his signature, embroidered paintings depicting chandeliers, suburban homes and palm trees.  All are painted in silver and blue colors that walk the line between elegant and dreary.  (At Chelsea’s Andrea Rosen Gallery through Oct 5th).

Simon Fujiwara at Andrea Rosen Gallery

Berlin-based artist Simon Fujiwara created this gender-reversing picture as part of a meandering investigation into a now-lost photo of his globe trotting, show-girl mother in the arms of a stranger on a beach in Beirut.  With very little information to go on, Fujiwara goes on, casting actors to reconstruct the old photo while musing on family history.  (At Chelsea’s Andrea Rosen Gallery through Aug 9th).

Mika Rottenberg at Andrea Rosen Gallery

Mika Rottenberg’s acclaimed films evoke fascination and repulsion in equal measure as we watch eccentric characters labor to create ambiguous products in claustrophobic, factory-like settings.  With jagged, candy-colored sheets of polyurethane resin propped against the wall at Chelsea’s Andrea Rosen Gallery, Rottenberg transforms her signature mix of sweet and grotesque into sculpture.  (through June 22nd).

Wolfgang Tillmans at Andrea Rosen Gallery

For a recent four year project titled ‘Neue Welt,’ Berlin and London-based photographer Wolfgang Tillmans traveled off the beaten track in what he called an ‘aimless’ journey to “…find subject matter that in some way or other speaks about the time I’m in.”  A sampling from the resulting book is at Chelsea’s Andrea Rosen Gallery, offering disorientingly diverse glimpses of people and places around the planet.  (through June 22nd).
