Former Baxter St at CCNY 2016 Workspace Resident Nona Faustine’s new solo exhibition entitled ‘Ye Are My Witness’ opens today at Higher Pictures Gallery! The show runs through December 8th, 2018. ”Expanding on her White Shoes series, Faustine continues to document, occupy, and reclaim sites across New York City that are linked to its 200-year history of slavery, while responding with redoubled urgency to the echoes of that history in America today. In an extended, iterative performance for the camera, Faustine—nude, in her signature white pumps—is both unflinching and vulnerable. The artist uses her body and presence to confront our country’s past, compelling us to find a different way forward.” Image: ‘Ye Are My Witness, Van Brunt Family Cemetery, Brooklyn’, 2018. @nonafaustine #higherpicturesgallery #photography

Sergio Fonseca explores machismo, sexuality, and male personas in a video called ‘La Dispersión del Yo’. On a bare stage he performs seductively as a stripper, playing three iconic characters: a cowboy, a rapper, and a wrestler. In a second video, ‘180kph’, he traces the path of a biker shooting across a desert horizon, timed to a popular ballad of longing and desire. His video work is part of the exhibition Fantasy, Dreams and Make Believe curated by Jerry Vessuzo. On view at Baxter St now through Saturday, November 3rd. ‘Estriper,’ 2015 by Sergio Fonseca. @mexiconowfestival #sergiofonseca #mexiconow #baxterstccny #photography

Keisha Scarville, The Placelessness of Echoes (and kinship of shadows), by Daniella Rose King
There is a poetry and lyricism at work in Keisha Scarville’s photographic and mixed media series Placelessness of Echoes (and kinship of shadows).
