Ry Rocklen at Untitled Gallery

LA based artist Ry Rocklen takes self-branding into actual product marketing with a tongue-in-cheek installation of the clothing in his wardrobe, cast in porcelain or copper plated. A graffiti-covered door is also preserved for the ages with copper, silver and gold leaf infill turning the banal into the beautiful. (At Untitled Gallery on the Lower East Side through June 15th).

Kour Pour at Untitled Gallery

As a kid, LA-based British artist Kour Pour grew up watching his dad repair and work with carpets in his rug shop.  He continues the tradition, after a fashion, by silkscreening carpets from auction catalogues onto canvas, then painting and sanding the images into something entirely new.  (At Untitled Gallery through Feb 23rd).

David Adamo at Untitled Gallery

Art applauds nature in Berlin-based American sculptor David Adamo’s hand-made, ceramic termite mounds.  Called “exceptionally appealing as objects” by the New York Times, the mini-mounds are smaller than they’d appear in nature but invite wonder at insect engineering.  (At Untitled Gallery on the Lower East Side through Oct 20th).

Daniel Gordon in ‘Jew York,’ at Untitled Gallery

Brooklyn-based Daniel Gordon presents one of his signature photo collages at Untitled Gallery on the Lower East Side, a selection of apples and pears that update Cezanne’s twisted perspectives on fruit by adding multiple digital perspectives against contemporary but dated background textiles.  (Through July 26th).

Brendan Fowler at Untitled Gallery

Brendan Fowler will show his ‘crashed’ photographs, for which he meticulously merges framed photographs into what looks like the disastrous results of careless art shipping, in MoMA’s ‘New Photography’ showcase in Sept.  In the meantime, his solo show on the LES at Untitled Gallery ups the ante in terms of destruction and obfuscation as Fowler covers the photos and their frames with purple or black silkscreens.  (Through June 16th).
