CHICAGO Patron Gallery Though his works are deeply informed by São Paulo’s Modernist and Brutalist histories, his works are unburdened by too much rationality. Perfectly molded, dyed concrete forms take on the colors of a sunset—bright, crisp blue; nostalgic, dusty pink; pale, rusty orange.

“All of Us,” Sophie Ryder’s current exhibition at The Lightbox in Woking, England, near London, features over 50 examples of her anthropomorphic dream imagery—ladyhares, minotaurs, boars, and dogs, as well as dislocated representations of eyes, hands, and feet, all magically juxtaposed across the exhibition space.

Martino Gamper
NEW YORK Anton Kern Gallery In presenting a checkered medley of objects collated under the umbrella category “hooks,” Gamper seeks to show the full breadth of family resemblance—a neo-Wittgensteinian lesson in how one overlapping common feature, form, tethers these diverse objects together.
Concrete Things and Momentary Places: A Conversation with Hu Xiaoyuan

Elzie Williams III
NEW YORK M23 Gallery Camouflaged as art objects ready for sale, Williams’s sculptures and installations assert a provocative polemic.
Josh Kline
