Matthew Marks presents Nan Goldin "Blood On My Hands." It is the first public exhibition of Goldinβs drawings, and it includes five new large-scale βgridsβ of multiple photographs composed in a single frame. Goldin has kept a diary since childhood, often filling the pages with drawings. Recently those drawings have taken on a new life as independent works of art. Emerging from her regular practice of daily reflection, they share the charged emotional atmosphere of her photographs, but their symbolic imagery, handwritten texts, and complex surfaces, made with a variety of mediums, introduce an expressive element that is new to her work. Goldin selects the photographs for her grids according to formal or psychological themes. For the new grids, the unifying element is color: pink, blue, gold, red, or black. Nan Goldin "Blood On My Hands" will be on view until December 23, 2016 @ Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer

βAnxietyβ engages with the common suggestion that art is a reflection of society. Art can serve as an expressive platform for individuals, groups, as well as society as a whole, especially accessible when radical changes or impactful events occur. It is powerful enough to portray the current emotions of a society, exposing harsh and subtle truths, while encouraging a change for the better. The exhibition explores and addresses the idea of art as a vehicle to illustrate and illuminate events and experiences. βAnxietyβ addresses the unnerving tension of the strange climate of present day. Whether personal, political, economic, social, or geographical, itβs undeniably a strange moment on every macro and micro level. This show is an investigation of individual responses to a collective uneasiness. Anxiety Group Show will be on view until December 16, 2016 at HVW8 Art and Design Gallery at 661 N. Spaulding Ave. Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Regen Projects presents an exhibition of photographs by German artist Wolfgang Tillmans. For his seventh solo show at the gallery Tillmans brings together a broad selection of new and previously unseen work that spans the various themes, visual motifs, and processes developed over the course of his career. The exhibition revisits long-standing interests present in the artistβs oeuvre. A recent picture depicting a pair of black shorts draped on a banister references an early motif expressed in βgrey jeans over stairpost,β taken in 1991. Several startlingly pink large-scale abstract works from his signature Freischwimmer/Greifbar series are prominently affixed onto the gallery walls. Examples of Tillmansβs interest in exploring the fundamental qualities of the photographic process, these non lens-based photographs are the result of light exposed onto color photographic paper. Shown together these works challenge common perceptions of the real and question how photographic processes change our conception of the world around us. The exhibition will be on view until December 23, 2016 at Regen Projects in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

In Iggy Pop Life Class, Turner Prizeβwinning artist Jeremy Deller used the traditional life drawing class to stage a performative event with Iggy Pop as model and subject. The exhibition, opening today at Brooklyn Museum, presents the resulting drawings along with works from historical collections, chosen by Deller, that depict the male body, examining shifting representations of masculinity throughout history. The fifty-three drawings included in the exhibition were created on February 21, 2016, during a one-day life drawing class, using Pop as the unexpected model. The class was held at the New York Academy of Art and included twenty-two artists drawn from New York Cityβs diverse communities, ranging in age from 19 to 80, with varying backgrounds and levels of education and experience. The class was led by artist and drawing professor Michael Grimaldi. Jeremy Deller "Iggy Pop Life Class" will be on view from November 4, 2016 to March 26, 2017 at Brooklyn Museum in New York. photograph by Elena Olivo
