With such lovely spring weather, there’s no better time to go out and see art in New York City. Our list of recommendations this month includes shows that will please your eyes, move your soul, and awaken your mind. It includes artists Wendy Red Star, Bob Thompson, Daniel Lind-Ramos, Ken Tisa, and more. We also listed a few MFA thesis shows around the city that you might want to check out. There’s only one question left to resolve: jacket or no jacket?
Two current exhibitions are worth seeing at the NARS Foundation in Brooklyn: Bodies We Inhabit, curated by Jessica Duby, brings together 10 women and nonbinary artists who reflect on our relationship with the earth and the harm we’re doing to it (though we’re really only harming ourselves). The other, a solo exhibition by NARS resident artist Nicki Cherry, is a personal meditation on chronic pain, mitigated best by the healing power and beauty of the natural world. — Hakim Bishara
