Group Shows

A not-so-freak snowstorm at Dimin

Contributed by Amanda Church / Christmas in July? Not quite, but Dimin Gallery is presenting “Blizzard” in August, normally the hottest month of the year, and it is indeed a cool, stylistically diverse show of 11 artists, bringing suitably icy commentary to bear during a sultry urban summer. In such a heterogeneous group, it is hard to identify an overarching ethos or attitude, but what resonates most strongly is a shared opposition to climate-change denial or acquiescence and the obstinately backward climate policy of the current U.S. administration.

NYC Selected Gallery Guide: August, 2025

Contributed by Sharon Butler / This month, many galleries are taking a well-deserved break after a shitshow of a year. A few, though, are curating through the heat and hanging new shows. At Karma, Jane Dickson holds forth with a series of amusement park nocturnes. 5-50 presents in “Becoming Otherwise” – paintings by Jocelyn Fine, Will Hutnick, Geist Topping, and Peter Schenck that crackle with energy in LIC. Deanna Evans Projects’ “ExtraOrdinary” features unsettled scenes of American home life by Lisha Bai, JJ Manford, and Ann Toebbe. At Margot Samel, Glasgow gallery Kendall Koppe presents Laura Aldridge, while Essex Flowers mounts “Overhang 2,” a ro art services pop-up riffing on the idea of summer group-show abundance and community. At The Hole, on Bowery, don’t miss “Herbivore,” which includes work by Bushwick stalwart Ben Godward.
