The month of May hit the ground running. Frieze, Nada and a bunch of group shows all over the place. This is the last big push before summer hits and the art world ventures off to Venice, The Hamptons and Switzerland. Meanwhile, the shows still go on. On our radar was "Xstraction" at The Hole, which captures some major hitters in contemporary painting including Sam Moyer, Wade Guyton and Wendy White. And if you missed Jamian Juliano-Villani’s work at Nada, check her out at Beginnings in Greenpoint. A top list follows:
Featuring: Adam Henry, Andrew Sutherland, Angel Otero, Anoka Faruqee, Ara Peterson, Ayan Farah, Chris Johanson, Cory Arcangel, Davina Semo, Dianna Molzan, Ethan Cook, Evan Gruzis, Gerhard Richter, Greg Bogin, James Krone, Kadar Brock, Karl Klingbiel, Landon Metz, Mark Flood, McArthur Binion, Oscar Murillo, Peter Demos, Peter Sutherland, Sam Moyer, Sarah Braman, Sayre Gomez, Stefan Bondell, Thomas Øvilsen, Timothy Bergstrom, Travess Smalley, Trudy Benson, Wade Guyton, Wendy White, Wil Murray, Wyatt Kahn, Xylor Jane
