Two Coats Selected Gallery Guide: May 2021

Frieze New York arrives last week at the Shed in Hudson Yards for a four day post-lockdown reunion, but tickets are sold out, so perhaps you’ll want to check out the galleries instead. Don’t miss “Glyphadelphia” a big goup show at Hess Flatow, Keltie Ferris at Mitchell-Innes and Nash, and the Tribeca Gallery Walk on Saturday May 8. In Brooklyn, we’re recommending Leslie Brack’s show at Cathouse Proper. Brack paints fire with water.
