The new year is here and, with it, the chance to beat the winter drear and see some of the best art on display across the city. If you need inspiration, this week, an exhibition at the Wallach Art Gallery on Columbia University’s Manhattanville campus was named a “gallery show to see this January” by The New York Times.
“Though billed as the first American retrospective for the feminist Chilean artist and activist Lotty Rosenfeld (1943-2020), ‘Disobedient Space’ is more tantalizing than comprehensive,” wrote Will Heinrich (CC'99). “But its handful of works on paper, and its broader selection of video art and documentation of Rosenfeld’s public actions, probe a problem as important for Americans now as for artists who, like Rosenfeld, worked under the Pinochet dictatorship: Is it even possible to talk to the other side?”
“Lotty Rosenfeld: Disobedient Spaces” is on view through March 15, at the Miriam & Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery at Lenfest Center for the Arts, 615 W. 129th St., Sixth Floor. The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Make an afternoon of it and stop by for a coffee and pastry at Dear Mama right next door!
