The week ahead holds two opportunities to experience new exhibitions by PS1 Gallery Awardees in the company of the artists themselves!

First, join us on Friday from 6-8pm at PS1 Close House for the opening of “Firewood” by Aidar Ishemgulov. Ranging in subject from ancient Greek myth and biblical stories to the absurdism of contemporary politics and power, the wooden sculptures in this exhibit demand attention both within and outside the walls of the gallery. 

And on Wednesday, join us from 4-6pm for an open house at PS1’s Northside Gallery, where Jenn Jacobson’s new show, “Corn, Corn, Corn, Gender Fluidity, Corn,” weaves together fiber arts and photography to document a road trip taken to seek gender-affirming care across state lines. The show’s quilted pathways traverse the gallery’s windows and ceilings and invite viewers to literally sit with the art.

Through Pressing Matters, a collaboration with the Obermann Center and Public Space One, Nidey and her partners are using creativity, storytelling, and lived experience to bring public health messages to life and connect with communities in new ways.
