SOUS-VIDE, Anicka Yi’s show at 47 Canal, is “a forage into the time of the wolf, a time when people are pets, mauve, driftwood, a loud shirt. Where gourmet consumers, or “diet human beings”, slough off into a forest of doppelgängers.”

Nick Cave’s exhibitions For Now and Ever-After, at Mary Boone and Jack Shainman, feature his iconic Soundsuits, sculptural forms that “camouflage and amplify the body, creating an exuberant second skin that conceals race, gender, and class.”
bow
On October 3 a performance entitled “Bow”, organized by artist Eric Clinton Anderson, will make plain the deification of financial institutions by bringing worship to the streets of lower Manhattan.
Early that morning, as the men of Goldman Sachs are arriving at their offices at 200 West Street, a call will ring out. Performers dispersed throughout the commuter crowds will line the sidewalk in front of the tower. As the day’s financial news is read over a loudspeaker in the manner of the Adhan (the Islamic call to prayer), the performers will bow to these exalted men as they enter their hallowed headquarters, carrying on their sacred work.
