Eric Mack "Never Had A Dream" At Moran Bondaroff in Los Angeles

Moran Bondaroff presents Never Had A Dream, Eric Mack’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, which presents collage works varying from sculpture and installation to wall pieces and work on paper. Mack’s aesthetic involves a particular type of tactility and usage of common items, primarily those related to clothing. References to the fashion industry and the figure impart a seductive quality to his work and connect to identity, or a material fiction of desire and intention. Erik Mack "Never Had a Dream" will be on view until November 10, 2015 at Moran Bondaroff, 937 N. La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA

Julie Schenkelberg "Embodied Energies" At Asya Geisberg Gallery In New York

Industrial demise and the decaying glamour of a gloried era are two of the main themes in Julie Schenkelberg’s site-specific installation Swan Song at Asya Geisberg Gallery in New York. The large-scale installation is made up of found industrial as well as domestic objects, collected over the course of five years and put together in ten weeks before transferring it into the gallery space. The installation is overwhelming and beautiful at the same time, traversing the entire gallery space from floor to ceiling. The seemingly randomly piled objects have been carefully arranged and are reminiscent of abandoned and destroyed family homes. Fully grounded in the space the precariously mounted chairs and stacked pieces of furniture give the installation an upward reach making it heavy and light at the same time. The mix of textures, fabrics, solid foam and powder, and colors, white, turquoise and brown further supports this juxtaposition. Julie Schenkelberg "Embodied Energies" will be on view until October 24, 2015 at Asya Geisberg Gallery in New York. text and images by Adriana Pauly

Oscar Murillo "Binary Function" at David Zwirner in London

David Zwirner presents Oscar Murillo’s first exhibition at the gallery in London, which includes new paintings and drawings as well as sculptural, sound, and film elements. The exhibition’s title, binary function, refers to the pairings that permeate Murillo’s multifaceted practice. For the artist, the notion of the binary is not oppositional; instead, these pairings work and play against one another to create a dialogue that exceeds individual works. Oscar Murillo "Binary Function" will be on view until November 20, 2015 at David Zwirner, 24 Grafton Street London. photographs by Flo Kohl

Jesse Edwards "Let's Watch TV All Day" @ 6817 Gallery in Los Angeles

6817 gallery presents Let's Watch TV All Day, an exhibition of recent paintings and ceramics by Jesse Edwards. This is the artist's first solo show in Los Angeles. Let's Watch TV All Day will feature a series of ceramic televisions in which Edwards uses familiar imagery: Disney characters, Super Mario, the Simpsons, Bob Ross, and porn stars. Edwards comments on contemporary society's obsession with visual stimulation by portraying subject matter that is universally recognizable, images that the American public spends much of their time looking at. Edwards' ceramic cell phones with pornographic images further this idea; many of these are "selfies," cell phone photos often sent via text. In his still life paintings, Edwards portrays drug paraphernalia, soda cans, junk food, flowers, and similar every day objects. Edwards historicizes American counterculture by representing these items in a traditional still life format. Later this month, a monograph of Jesse Edwards' work will be published by Vito Schnabel. Let's Watch TV All Day will be on view until November 21 at 6817 Gallery in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Read Our Convo With The Devilishly Brilliant Marc Horowitz On Being The Weirdest Kid In School, Scatalogical Antics and His First Solo Art Show →

Marc Horowitz is a genius, but he may also be the devil. His work is satanically brilliant. Over the last ten years, Horowitz has performed riotous pranks that have taken on the form of conceptual art and mad marketing schemes that seem at times Bernaysian, but always dementedly creative. He has taken a mule to run errands in San Francisco, he started a semi-nudist colony, he has tried to convince the board of the Golden Gate Bridge to build giant fans to blow away the fog so tourists could take pictures and he spent an entire year of his life trying to have dinner with 30,000 people after he wrote his name and number on a whiteboard in a Crate & Barrel catalogue. And that is only a sliver of his antics. When the stock market crashed, he tried to bail out the banks with his artwork. Today, Horowitz will see the official opening of his first solo show at the Depart Foundation in Los Angeles. Click here to read the full interview.

Go See Rebecca Dayan's Exhibition "Assumption" @ Catherine Ahnell Gallery In New York

Catherine Ahnell Gallery presents Rebecca Dayan's first solo exhibition as an artist. Painting is a talent that Dayan has been quietly pursuing throughout her years of loudly displaying her on-screen and on-the-page abilities. A native of the South of France, Rebecca started out as a young model and designer in Paris with the likes of some of the industries most acclaimed role players such as Karl Lagerfeld, Peter Lindbergh and Sonia Rykiel. In 2009 Dayan relocated to New York to pursue a career as an actress. Her acting career has grown rapidly since that year, giving Dayan an impressive collection of features that most recently includes a lead role in the much-acclaimed indie film H, which made its world premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Her current exhibition comes from her research for a film role playing a nun in the film Novitiate - she found it interesting the way nuns would talk about god much the same way that a woman might talk about her first love. This intrigue led Dayan to further explore the parallels that can be found between passions of religion and passions of eroticism, giving her the idea for the series of watercolor portraits she produced for her solo exhibition. Rebeca Dayan Assumption Will Be On View Until October 11, 2015 at Catherine Ahnell Gallery in New York.  photographs courtesy of the gallery.

Artist Dan Levenson Creates A Fake Swiss Art School In His First Solo Exhibition @ Susanne Vielmetter Gallery In Los Angeles

In Dan Levenson's first solo exhibition, he has created a fictional and immersive narrative about a community of Swiss artists at the now-defunct State Art Academy, Zrich (SKZ). In one room, a set of paintings represents the results of a single composition exercise assigned to one class of students. The paintings appear to have suffered from time and neglect; their surfaces are cracked and discolored. In an adjacent gallery, an installation of storage racks, student lockers, paint-splattered studio floors and modular art school furniture collapses the imagined space of the art school with the real space of the gallery. The sculptural furniture serves a practical function in Levenson's studio so that the accretions of his process create the impression of many years of use. Traces of the lost culture of the art school abound, particularly in Levenson's use of standardized international paper sizes, which dictate the scale and composition of every painting and object he produces. Each painting fits inside a storage box recovered from the ruins of the art school. The boxes fit together with classroom furniture: a desk, flat files, work tables, and drawing horses. Dan Levenson "SKZ Painting Storage" will be on view until October 10, 2015 at Susanne Vielmetter Gallery, 6006 W Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper
