Cynthia Daignault at Lisa Cooley Gallery

From rural barns to suburban houses, flowing rivers to barren desert, Cynthia Daignault pictures it all in her epic 360 piece painting project ‘Light Atlas,’ now on view at Lower East Side gallery Lisa Cooley. Born of a desire to add to the number of women who’ve produced art and literature from on country-wide travels, Daignault’s project is a surprisingly tranquil picture of the country. (Through Dec 20th).

Justine Kurland at Mitchell-Innes and Nash

Cars have given photographer Justine Kurland the freedom to travel the country shooting unforgettable photos on her road trips; her latest series is a gritty but beautifully shot homage of sorts to the mechanics who keep them going. (At Mitchell-Innes and Nash in Chelsea through October 11th).
