“Roller Rink” opens June 18th 6pm to 8pm.

Fredericks & Freiser is pleased to present Roller Rink, a summer exhibition in 41 parts.

Like an open skate session, Roller Rink brings together distinct styles, speeds, and personalities.

As in any good roller rink, there is room for virtuosity and awkwardness alike: smooth operators, daring leaps, and the occasional spectacular wipeout.

Summer hours Tuesday through Friday 11am to 5pm

“Between dream and wakefulness lies a terrain without a name: a liminal space where time drifts slowly, light carries a humid warmth, and memories hover like mist. It is within this hazy realm that the paintings of Simon Ko and Calvin Kim emerge and recede, oscillating between intimacy and distance. In this exhibition, both artists retreat from grand narratives, turning instead toward more intimate and introspective territories, tracing the unspoken rhythms of desire, waiting, and transformation.

If Ko’s paintings arise from the fleeting intensity of reality, Kim’s emerge from the echo of dreams. One leans toward the tension of forgetting; the other toward the warmth of remembering. In their coexistence, a subtle resonance unfolds. Branches and birds thread through both bodies of work: the former growing, twisting, and extending like lines of memory; the latter gliding, falling, and vanishing like flashes of thought.

Their practices may be understood as forms of affective painting — not representations of emotion, but atmospheres that generate sensation. As Brian Massumi writes in Parables for the Virtual (2002), affect is intensity before it becomes emotion. Both Ko and Kim’s works dwell in this state of becoming: the threshold where emotion is still raw, tactile, unspoken. The “hazy land” of the exhibition is thus not an escapist dream but a gentle return — to a moment when the body could still feel, when emotions had yet to solidified into language. Here, seeing transforms into a bodily response: a breath held, a gaze lingers, a heart hesitates. We cease to be mere observers and become participants — introspective bodies summoned by the dream itself.”

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present Small Domains, a group show of small-scale paintings by three contemporary New York-based artists: Jaqueline Cedar, Samuel Guy, and Calvin Kim. All three artists loosely work in the representational vein of painting: Guy’s paintings engage with traditional portraiture through built-up surfaces of oil paint, Cedar’s paintings traffic in stylized figuration with clean edges and thin acrylic washes, and Kim’s works imbue everyday subject matter with wonder and a poetic, oneiric sensibility. The exhibition will be on view in the first-floor annex of Hollis Taggart in Chelsea from January 15 to February 21, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, January 16 from 6 to 8 pm.

365 days of Vera 🗓️🐩

1 whole year since she came home with me, trembling with fear and in such discomfort from a festering spaying wound and ear infection.

Last photo is the day she arrived at our home and ran to hide behind our Aloe Vera (my oldest plant baby.) We named her Vera after the plant, well known for its healing properties ✨

We’re still working on her confidence and trust in humanity, but we’ve made so much progress already!

Happy first gotcha day my sweet girl ♥️
