Mika Tajima at Eleven Rivington

As part of a residency at Philadelphia’s Fabric Workshop and Museum, New York artist Mika Tajima created textiles with a fascinating back story. Taking recordings from factories using Jacquard looms (a precursor to digital) and from server co-location sites (representing new technologies), she translated the sound waves into patterns woven on fabric which was then mounted on acoustic panels to create an object that simultaneously is cutting edge and historical. (At Eleven Rivington on the Lower East Side through April 13th).

TM Davy at Eleven Rivington

In Eleven Rivington’s brightly lit Lower East Side space, Brooklyn painter TM Davy presents a series of small, candle lit paintings.  Studies from life made in and around his home, their intimate nature belies their bright, public display.

Caetano de Almeida at Eleven Rivington Gallery

A New York Observer critic recently likened Caetano de Almeida’s vividly colored geometric abstractions to an open window, adding that viewing them was ‘like flying.’  Come check out their physical effect on the Oct 12th open group tour. (At Eleven Rivington Gallery on the Lower East Side through October 13th).

Anne-Lise Coste at Eleven Rivington

Taking Picasso’s 1937 anti-war masterpiece Guernica as inspiration, New York based French artist Anne-Lise Coste sets out in her recent freehand spray-paint paintings to question how to make an anti-war painting today.  (At Eleven Rivington through August 9th).

Jeronimo Elespe at Eleven Rivington

Madrid-based painter Jeronimo Elespe’s tiny oil on aluminum paintings seem to be dematerializing before our eyes, as in this hazy view of a working artist titled ‘The Short Painter.’  Elespe works at night, capturing shimmering light and ghostly blue lines that speak of mysterious possibilities.  (At Eleven Rivington’s 195 Chrystie location on the Lower East Side through June 14th).
