This week's reviews feature a variety of exhibitions in New York City, including a focus on historical labor struggles in 'American Job' and an exploration of women's work attire over 200 years in 'Real Clothes, Real Lives.' The exhibitions emphasize both historical context and the meaningful relationships that influence artistic expression. Notably, 'All That Remains' challenges perspectives on color, while 'arms ache avid aeon' showcases collaborative works by artists. Each exhibit contributes to a unique narrative about survival, ingenuity, and aesthetic evolution.
"If you're looking to ground yourself in history, and might benefit from seeing that our present is ... the continuation of one long, long fight, then American Job is worth a visit." - Julia Curl
"[The show] creates a cohesive sensibility that is all the more meaningful because of the human relationships that underlie its formal relationships." - NH
"This exhibition is proof that unexplored vistas for color await those willing to travel off the beaten path." - Daniel Larkin
"[The exhibition] anchors us in the fabric of everyday survival and acts of ingenuity, revealing ways to adapt, mend, and reinvent - and look good, on our own terms, while doing it." - Julie Schneider
