Nearly three dozen paintings, drawings, prints, and other multimedia wall-works by 25 artists are on view in “Life Still,” a group show that, as it confronts the prospect of imminent demise, takes as darkly farcical a stance as one could expect given the morbid implications of the pun in its title.

For his debut at Luhring Augustine, Richard Rezac presents new and recent sculptures mounted on the gallery's walls, floor, and ceiling. Rezac's finished pieces tend to cut sleek, angular silhouettes that suggest they belong squarely under the umbrella of geometric abstraction.

For his first solo show at Bureau, Brandon Ndife unveils new sculptures in which organic detritus, from corn husks to dirt, appear to encroach upon man-made items, such as cabinets and plates, in states of disrepair. While decomposition prevails in the end, in its aftermath emerges a beginning.

Though Neïl Beloufa's Screen Talk—an online game based on a satirical mini-series Beloufa produced in 2014—challenges players to navigate a fictional global pandemic, the project was filmed in 2014.

In "Mutualities," Cauleen Smith's solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art—also her first one-person-show at a major New York City institution—the Los Angeles-based artist created immersive installations for two of her video works: Pilgrim (2017) and Sojourner (2018).

On view at the gallery and online, “Switch Back,” as conceived by Jane South, reveals the culmination of an experimental digression from the usual scope of her practice: namely, as a series of soft sculptures. Made of materials like canvas, tarp, and packing foam, these pieces stand in stark contrast to the elaborate, machine-inspired paper-and-wood fabrications that have dominated her work in the past.

For her solo debut at Bortolami, Rebecca Morris presents a new series of large-scale paintings alongside recent watercolor-and-ink-based works on paper.

The moon. An iPhone 11. A Jodhpur forest lit up in brilliant pinks and purples. In the 21 paintings in “Earth Bound,” Leidy Churchman delivers no less than 21 distinct scenes—often embracing thematic disparities through stylistic contrasts. If the show has a universal language, it’s Churchman’s mastery of their medium.

Jeanette Mundt’s solo debut at Company Gallery is also, notably, her first presentation of any kind in New York since last year’s Whitney Biennial, which featured one of her paintings.

In “Oaks of Righteousness,” Alex Chaves unveils paintings that consider an array of primarily female subjects through the lens of various character tropes—from warriors to seductresses to “sleeping beauties” and beyond.

Through the six photographs comprising “The Seasons,” Paul Graham nods to a painting series of the same name by 16th-century Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel. Whereas Bruegel’s works depict rural life in Northern Europe, however, Graham’s photographs reveal scenes from New York City’s Park Avenue—specifically, outside the headquarters of major banks.

Thaddeus Mosley draws inspiration from jazz for his heroic, gravity-defying wood sculptures. In his first show at Karma, the 94-year-old artist brings together work that reflects his enduring fascination with—and mastery of—raw wood as a material.

Don Van Vliet is best known for the music he recorded as Captain Beefheart from the 1960s to the early '80s. But the late artist left behind a trove of paintings, some of which are on display at Michael Werner, in the first exhibition of Van Vliet's work in more than a decade.

As Chloë Bass's first solo institutional presentation, "Wayfinding" consists of 24 site-specific sculptures—manifesting as public signage—stationed throughout Harlem's St. Nicholas Park.

At the High Line, two public sculptures, one each by Lara Schnitger and Sam Falls, are holdouts from “En Plein Air,” a group show that initially opened in spring 2019 with newly-commissioned, site-specific pieces by eight artists—but, with the close date set for March 2020, the de-installation was cut short following the descent of COVID-19 over New York City and the subsequent lockdown. As a result, Schnitger’s and Fall’s respective works still stand.
