Roman Moriceau "In Heaven Everything Is Fine" @ Galerie Derouillon in Paris

Fragments of an idea of elsewhere, the scented evanescence of a utopic place, or even the songs of long lost birds, all whirl around us through Roman Moriceauโ€™s works. Driven by a true need to experience works that communicate, the artist brings us to a dream Eden garden, a fantasized paradise. In the present age where we think that elsewhere must be better, this mythical sounding title invites us to an aesthetic journey which makes us reflect on the butterfly effects of our actions. Roman Moriceau "In Heaven Everything Is Fine" will be on view until November 12, 2016 at Galerie Derouillon in Paris. photographs by Mazzy-Mae Green

Oscar Murillo "Through Patches of Corn, Wheat and Mud" @ David Zwirner Gallery in New York

David Zwirner presents an exhibition of new works by Oscar Murillo. On view at 525 and 533 West 19th Street in New York will be paintings, drawings, sculptural elements, and film. Murillo addresses the conditions of display in the contemporary art world by engaging with a series of oppositesโ€”including work and play, production and consumption, and originality and appropriation. His practice is closely tied to notions of community and migration stemming from his cross-cultural ties to London, where he currently lives, and Colombia, where he was born. Oscar Murillo "Through Patches of Corn, Wheat and Mud"  will be on view until October 24, 2016. photographs by Adam Lehrer

Billy Al Bengston's Motorcycle Paintings Exhibition @ Venus Over Manhattan in New York

Venus Over Manhattan gallery is exhibiting both old and new works by legendary L.A. artist Billy Al Bengston. The show features 12 paintings from the โ€œB.S.A Motorcycleโ€ series from the 60s, where various motorcycle parts are isolated and presented on the canvas against abstract backgrounds. These paintings made Bengston a voice to be reckoned with in the Pop Art movement and appeared in the 1974 American Pop Art exhibition at the Whitney. Also included in the exhibition is the original motorcycle that inspired the series. Bengstonโ€™s new works that are on display feature his signature Chrevron motif in piercing blue tones. In true Pop Art manner, he originally painted the Chevron logo with lacquered spray paints, being one of the first artists to trade in the traditional oil on canvas back in the 60s. In his new pieces, however, Bengston comes full circle by using acrylic on canvas and leaving the glossy Pop Art behind for a softer finish.  The exhibition will be on view until November 2, 2016 at Venus Over Manhattan in New York. text and photographs by Helena Calmfors

Tamara Santibaรฑez "Landscapes" @ Slow Culture Gallery In Los Angeles

Slow Culture presents artist Tamara Santibaรฑez's first Los Angeles solo exhibition, โ€œLandscapes.โ€ As a multimedia artist and well-respected resident amongst many at Saved Tattoo New York. Tamara embodies more than meets the eye from the canvas of her on clients to the canvas of her paintings. Known for representations of objects such as handcuffs, whips, chains and leather, she moves to educate her audience in the scope of BDSM culture, that these objects and materials signify more than subversive notoriety or sexual innuendo. Tamaraโ€™s diverse forms of art and authorship in totality have created social mindfulness and aim to defeat ignorance in the eyes of fear and judgement. Landscapes will be on view until October 22, 2016 at Slow Culture in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Private Opening Of The "Human Condition" Group Show Curated by John Wolf At A Former Hospital in Los Angeles

Human Condition is an immersive, site-specific exhibition that features the work of sixty emerging and established artists in a uniquely challenging space: a former hospital in West Adams, previously known as the Los Angeles Metropolitan Medical Center. Curated and produced by the Los Angeles-based art advisor John Wolf, Human Condition invites artists to re-contextualize the hospitalโ€™s functional historyโ€”over 40,000 square feet of itโ€”as a venue to explore what it means to be human. Human Condition is a unique opportunity to experience artwork outside the confines of a typical art space. In using the skeletal remains of the hospital and its discarded medical supplies, artists and viewers are encouraged to explore the notion of what we leave behindโ€”from objects to human history. Human Condition opens to the public on October 1, 2016 and runs through November 30, 2016. Address: 2231 S Western Ave. Los Angeles, CA. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Tom Sachs and his team of astronauts set their sights on the next frontier of space exploration in Space Program: Europa. Targeting Jupiterโ€™s icy moon, Europa, this expansive sculpture exhibition offers an unprecedented view into Sachsโ€™ extraordinary artistic output and advances his quest to find extraterrestrial life with bricolaged sculptures. The exhibition will fill YBCA with everything his astronauts need to successfully complete their voyageโ€”including the Mobile Quarantine Facility, Mission Control, the Apollo-eraLanding Exploration Module (LEM), and special equipment for conducting scientific experimentsโ€”immersing the audience in a universe of sculpture occupying the entire downstairs galleries in addition to YBCAโ€™s public spaces. Sachs has also created a new site-specific installation, Logjam Cafรฉ. Logjam Cafรฉ will be open to the public as a neighborhood coffee shop, occasional bar, and OCD rehab center, where visitors can experience firsthand the artistโ€™s obsession with the tools of his craft. Space Program: Europa will be on view until January 17, 2016 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. photographs by Annabel Graham

Daniel Arsham "Circa 2345" @ Galerie Perrotin in New York

Galerie Perrotin presents Daniel Arshamโ€™s first solo show with the gallery in New York. The exhibition will feature sculptural pieces, breakthrough use of color as well as a large scale installation. Daniel Arshamโ€™s sculptural works are poetic constructions made up of juxtapositions of form and material: a 16mm film projector rendered in ash and hydrostone, or a 20th century iconic guitar, formed out of white glacial rock dust, its crumbling areas integral to its haunting beauty. Transforming compressed elemental materials such as stone, crystal and ash into carefully chosen important cultural artifacts, Arsham offers a brief glimpse into our current culture and its signifiers, as if seen far off into the future. Daniel Arsham "Circa 2345" will be on view until October 22, 2016 at Galerie Perrotin in New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer

Abraham Cruzvillegas "Autoconcanciรณn" @ Regen Projects In Los Angeles

Regen Projects presents an exhibition of new sculptures by Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas. Cruzvillegas' practice deals with history and the construction of the self in reference to economic, social, political, and historical conditions. Employing various means to create open-ended strategies of production and reception, Cruzvillegas gives objects a new life and context, generating shifts in meaning and interpretation, meanwhile demonstrating how concepts and relationships can be constantly inverted and transformed. He explores economies of the makeshift, hand-made, and the recycled, and often incorporates site and elements of a particular location within the context of a work, exhibition, or project, creating a connection between Mexico City and the location in which the artist is working. His practice examines the way in which one constructs or reconstructs histories from information, illustrating how ideas are often a dialogic conflation of many people, places, and times. Improvisation and assemblage are core aspects of his practice, which is informed by, and connected to ideas of survival economics, labor economies, and the ready-made. Abraham Cruzvillegas "Autoconcanciรณn" will be on view until October 22, 2016 at Regen Projects, 6750 Santa Monica Boulevard Los Angeles, CA

Jean-Pascal Flavien and Mika Tajima Exhibition @ Kayne Griffin Corcoran Gallery In Los Angeles

Kayne Griffin Corcoran presents a two person exhibition featuring Jean-Pascal Flavien and Mika Tajima. While making very different work, both artists investigate social relationships to built environments and attempt to expose the constructed nature of these designed systems. The artists postulate in various forms such as architectural interventions or deconstructions of design objects, all in relation to the human subject. This exhibition is centered around spaces of possibility that exceed ideological and functional determination โ€“ beyond structures that constrain social behavior and ways of living. This is realized in hypothetical, metaphorical, and physical manifestations by both artists. Public and private structures are tested by each artist in a search for potential and failure. The exhibition will be on view until October 29, 2016 at Kayne Griffin Corcoran in Los Angeles.
