Tribeca, the Uprising Center of New York Art Scene and 52 Walker’s “Gordon Mata-Clark & Pope.L: Impossible Failures” Exhibition
New York’s Gallery 52 Walker is an exhibition space of the mega-gallery David Zwirner, founded in 2021 to run experimental exhibitions not limited to commerciality. David Zwirner locates in Chelsea, and 52 Walker is in Tribeca. Tribeca, which has emerged as a new heart for New York art in recent years, has a network of small and medium-sized galleries that present experimental exhibitions. On the contrary, Chelsea features a concentration of corporate-scale galleries.
Currently, 52 Walker is presenting the two-person exhibition “Gordon Matta-Clark & Pope.L: Impossible Failures.” Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) critically examined the city’s architectural structure with large-scale projects in which he physically cut-through buildings slated for demolition. Pope.L (b. 1955) called attention to the invisible in public spaces with early performances in which he crawled through the streets of Manhattan, dragging himself on his hands and knees. They were leading figures in the downtown New York art scene of the 1970s, reflecting on life in the city and expanding the concept of art.

Hito Steyerl’s Solo Show In Portalnd Museum, “This is the Future”
German artist Hito Steyerl (b. 1966) explores the connections between digital technology, political movements, and global capitalism. She illuminates the invisible infrastructure that digital technology has built into society. She is a leading new media artist who has had a profound impact not only as an artist but also on the theory of new media art. Last year, Korea and Europe held major retrospectives of hers.
In “Hito Steyerl: This is the Future,” The Portland Art Museum presents the US premiere of the artist’s 2019 work ‘This is the Future.’ The work combines a short film, LED images, and a stage made of steel structures. The work uses artificial intelligence to predict and show future plant species and imagines a future in which AI-generated plants have healing power amid the devastating climate crisis. It proposes an optimistic look at the possibilities of future ecosystems, the future which will be shaped by current technological progress.
