Here is a far from complete sampling of the vast, sprawling exhibition that is "260 Madison," a massive curatorial undertaking by @shainatabak and @daemonlovers occupying an entire gutted office floor in midtown (graciously provided by @amtrustre ). There's so much great work to see, almost all of it sculpture, media, and kinetic work, so set aside some time to go check it out. The exhibition has open hours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 12:00 to 6:00 p.m., through November 22nd Also, the last slide is @lifelikegregory ! This accursed application is not letting edit the post without crashing (Spoiler alert I am also in this exhibition)

And even though I sent you flowers You didn’t know that they were ours Don’t wait to find what’s in the past Don’t wait to see what doesn’t last Don’t fret about what doesn’t suit ya Try to forget about the future And even though it took you hours I didn’t notice all the flowers

This week, I’ve been with Harvestworks on Governor's Island installing with a truly wonderful group of artists. Please come see our show! (up until November 1) The art and performances in this exhibition are remarkable! I’m showing two computational works from my series *Nine Forms*. In *Nine Forms*, a series of evolving meshes develops its own forms of intelligence through the interaction of shape, memory, and behavior. As their bodies transform, their shapes condition their decision making and lead them to become more complex and individual. IN OTHER FORMS was curated by Ivana Dama @ivana.dama. Thanks, Ivana, for inviting me. THE EXHIBITION FEATURES WORKS BY: ANGELA FERRAIOLO @_angela_ferraiolo BLINN AND LAMBERT @blinn_and_lambert MICHAEL CANDY @mcandy_ TESTU COLLECTIVE @testucollective WENDI YAN @wendiyan ZEENA PARKINS @zpribbon “In Other Forms” brings together works exploring transformation across bodies, technologies, environments, and systems of intelligence. Through autonomous machines, computational life, electromagnetic fields, sound, light, and speculative biology, the exhibition considers form not as fixed, but as something continually shaped through movement, time, and interaction. The exhibition reflects our current moment in time, when life, intelligence, nature, and technology are increasingly taking shape in new and unfamiliar forms. 🥂 Opening Reception: August 29 at 2:00 PM 🗓️ Exhibition Dates: August 29 – November 1, 2026 (Saturdays and Sundays) 🕕 Exhibition Hours: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Saturdays and Sundays) 📍 Location: Governors Island, Nolan Park, Harvestworks Building 10a

Membrane is open through September 6. Membrane is a container of life and potential. It is a permeable zone of exchange where what is and what can be is most alive. This show brings together twelve artists whose work inhabits the charged space between states: between stillness and motion, object and subject, arrival and departure, image and matter, threat and beauty, presence and disappearance. They occupy the threshold itself - the held moment within transformation, where meaning is most unstable and most dense. They do not resolve. They contain. Membrane is staged in a fitting space that has always existed as a passage in-between. The show features works by John Aslanidis @sonictiger Mario de la Ossa @de.la.ossa Michael Candy @mcandy_ Joseph J Greer @the_davinci_coat Lisa Giordano @lisaegiordano Ara Hao @ara.persimmon Nabilah Nordin @nabnordin Nick Modrzewski @nickmodrzewski Moksha Richards @moksha.richards Justin Rui Han @justinrhan Andy H Wei @andyh.wei Leon Zhan @leonzhan

subarachnoid/safe space Horse Room Gallery August 9–September 13, 2026 Michael Candy Charlie Crowell Ena Kantardžić BLESHÜE The subarachnoid space is the area between the skull and brain. Its name describes a web-like membrane suspended between the pia mater (“gentle mother”) and the dura mater (“hard mother”). It cushions the brain from impact while carrying the fluid that surrounds it. Between these mothers, impact is carried rather than avoided. subarachnoid/safe space considers the impact through which images, histories, and people are formed. Violence emerges not only as an event, but as something inherited through architecture, archives, family, public space, and the internet. Scouring the internet, Michael Candy re-presents footage uploaded of a Ukrainian soldier’s final moments. Charlie Crowell reconstructs sites marked by technological and ideological isolation, scaling a replica of Ted Kaczynski’s cabin before installing it atop the French Cable Hut at Nauset Light Beach. The transatlantic cable connecting the United States to Europe ceased operation after the French surrender during the Second World War, leaving behind an architecture whose function survives its network. Ena Kantardžić digitizes the photographic negatives of Hidajet Kantardžić (1932–2024), preserving an archive of refugee life while exposing the singular perspective through which that life was recorded. The collective BLESHÜE’s work documents a public intervention wherein the language of a gun show advertisement is altered, allowing familiar imagery to register as something newly threatening. The exhibition follows these works through the conditions that connect them rather than the subjects they depict. Archives, communication infrastructure, internet circulation, and public intervention each become ways of approaching the distance between an event and its image. Like the subarachnoid space itself, this distance is neither empty nor neutral. It is where information is carried, where memory is altered, and where violence settles into form

We spent 10 weeks with 8 artists and @rhizomedotorg at the @newmuseum in nyc and asked them to imagine + build alternatives to current (read: broken) tech infrastructure, putting people at right the center. The Counterstructural Residency produced incredible artifacts and prototypes all linked by one provocation. What happens if we consider imagination itself as corr tech infrastructure? Swipe through for snapshots of every project and follow along as we drop more of their work soon.
