Plus The Campus, Abigail Dudley, Japanese art at The Met, and more.
Pro tip: When it’s this hot out, the best way to cool off is to go see some art. You can take advantage of the free air conditioning in museums and galleries while immersing yourself in an exquisite cultural experience. It’s a win-win!
Hyperallergic is here to help with not one but two guides of exhibitions we believe are worth a visit this July. From the boroughs of New York City to the hills and valleys of Upstate New York, we have you covered with recommendations by editors Hrag Vartanian, Natalie Haddad, and Valentina Di Liscia as well as contributor Taliesin Thomas.
Other shows to check out this week include paintings by the up-and-coming Abigail Dudley at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, which got a glowing review from John Yau, and Anxiety and Hope in Japanese Art at The Met, in which AX Mina found a lot to appreciate and wanted even more from. You’ll want to hurry to catch both of these exhibitions, as they leave their respective venues this week.
However, you still have time to see Hugh Hayden: Hughmans at Lisson Gallery, for which Senior Editor Hakim Bishara has some choice words (and potty talk) in his latest review. Read it for the no-holds-barred take on blue-chip gimmickry and very good bathroom puns. | |

| | | | “Nothing in this exhibition seems contrived or forced. Dudley is able to combine different states of reality and imagination in the same work seemingly without effort. She is an artist who loves to paint and believes it will take her to unknown places. The evidence in this exhibition tells us that she is not wrong.” |
|
| | | | “The artist and his gallery call the show an ‘exploration of the prosthetics of power.’ I call it a claustrophobic encounter with a sophomoric prank, à la Maurizio Cattelan, Andres Serrano, and the like. As with any public restroom, the moment I walked in, I couldn’t wait to get out.” |
|
| | | | “Drawing primarily from the museum’s existing collections, the show frames the works around these twin sentiments of hope and anxiety, helping to shed light on how we make sense of our own feelings of end times or apocalypse.” |
