David Kennedy Cutler, Michael DeLucia, and David Scanavino at Derek Eller Gallery

David Scanavino’s vibrantly colored institutional floor tiles, Michael DeLucia’s tire images, carved out of MDF by a computer-controlled router, and David Kennedy Cutler’s elongated arm, created with pictures of a real hand, bring together images generated in the computer and realized in three dimensions. (At Chelsea’s Derek Eller Gallery through June 28th).

Tara Donovan at Pace Gallery

Tara Donovan does it again with two new sculptures at Chelsea’s Pace Gallery created in her signature style – multiplying an everyday object by millions to create a wondrous installation. Here, index cards suggest fairy chimneys or termite mounds to astonishing effect. (Through June 28th).

Tara Donovan, Untitled, styrene index cards, metal, wood, paint and glue, 12’ 5 1/2” x 22’ 4” x 22’ 11 1/2”, 2014.

Jayson Musson at Salon94 Bowery

Brooklyn-based artist Jayson Musson’s tongue-in-cheek recreation of ‘modern’ art from the comic strip Nancy for his show at Salon94 on the Lower East Side is perfectly timed to recent market interest in abstract painting. Playfully forcing the question of how we create value in art, the show amuses and provokes in equal measure. (Through June 20th).

Nancy Grossman at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery

Constructed from saddles and harnesses given to her by major Ab Exp sculptor David Smith, this striking assemblage by Nancy Grossman from 1965 suggests militaristic aggression and violence enacted on an individual’s body. (At Michael Rosenfeld Gallery through July 3rd.)

Nancy Grossman, For David Smith, mixed media assemblage on canvas mounted on plywood, 85 x 85 x 6 ¾ inches, 1965.

Vincent Fecteau at Matthew Marks Gallery

San Francisco-based abstract sculptor Vincent Fecteau’s untitled, wall-mounted clay sculpture resembles a super-sized, wadded up piece of paper at first glance; delicate green coloring, eye-grabbing negative space in the folds and a mysterious bar-like shape at the top encourage further looking, however. (At Matthew Marks Gallery through June 28th).

Vincent Fecteau, Untitled, resin clay, acrylic paint, 26 x 28 x 8 inches, 2014.
