A monograph, including an essay by artist Gina Beavers, has been published my the gallery. This catalogue will be available at the event as well as for purchase here.

NADA Hudson features 48 artist projects by NADA members and affiliates. NADA Hudson is not an art fair, but rather a site-specific project organized by the New Art Dealers Alliance. The project builds upon the character of a historic venue, the Basilica Hudson, and showcases contemporary sculpture, installation and video. This year, galleries will present one piece by one artist within the Main Hall, as well as outdoor projects and a looping video program

PATRICK BRENNAN & LAUREN LULOFF are featured in Stretching Painting, curated by Veronica Roberts at Galerie Lelong. The exhibiton runs through August 3 and has been reviewed by Ryan Steadman on Artforum and by Roberta Smith in the New York TImes. Smith singled out Luloff and Brennan as standouts of the show:

The 10 artists in “Stretching Painting” at Galerie Lelong don’t so much push the medium into space as meddle with its physical properties at close quarters, on the wall. Assembled by Veronica Roberts, a New York-based curator and scholar, the works here can sometimes feel a bit small-bore. This is relieved by Patrick Brennan’s “Boomtown (A long road home),” a big, bristling collage festooned with small paintings, and Lauren Luloff’s “Flame Violent and Golden,” which seems pieced together from textile remnants that are actually hand-painted on different scraps of cloth, using bleach. It has some of the scenery-chewing exuberance of Julian Schnabel, which is quite refreshing.

EDDIE MARTINEZ is the focus of an ART 21 New York Close Up. MARTINEZ will be exhibiting new work at the gallery alongside JOSE LERMA, August 10 – 29, with an opening reception to be held on Saturday, August 11.
