Katsu at The Hole NYC

Seven blank white canvases, spray paint and drone technology have turned The Hole NYC into one huge painting by New York street artist and tech pioneer Katsu.  Partnering with Tsuru robotics in Moscow, Katsu has developed ways to write by drone and recently, to enable drones to create abstract paintings with programmed randomness.  (On view through August 23rd).

Damien Hirst at Gagosian Gallery

If you thought Damien Hirst could possibly be done with painting dots, think again. Gagosian Gallery’s cavernous space is filled with new dot paintings, freed from their usual grid format and now swirling across the canvas.  (On view in Chelsea through June 30th).
