R. Luke DuBois – The Choice is Yours @ bitforms – 10/26/16-12/23/16

New York

R. Luke DuBois makes important work. I’ve got way too much going on emotionally in me from the election to really thoroughly explain why an exhibit by an artist around voting machines, distilling things into opposing choices, and the like, is so clearly and obviously worthwhile. If you’re near New York, just know you should go.

Jennifer Steinkamp – Still Life @ ACME. – 11/19/16-1/7/17

Los Angeles

Jennifer Steinkamp has been a favorite of mine since her 2006 survey at the San Jose Museum of Art. Side note: July 1st 2006- September 24 2006 was the best that SJMA has ever been in their entire history. Edge Conditions with Listening Post & World Processor; Kathy Aoki; and Jennifer Steinkamp’s takeover of the entire bottom floor? Utterly magical. So glad that I brought a group of 40 or 50 to see. SJMA, get your act together and do it again.

Anyhow, if you’re in LA, ACME. will be showing Still Life by Jennifer Steinkamp. I’d go see, so you better.

teamLab – Living Digital Space and Future Parks @ Pace Art + Technology – 2/6/16-12/18/16

San Francisco

This one’s particularly magical. It’s been up for a while now, and only has a month and a half left before it closes, but you still need to go. TeamLab‘s first major exhibit in the USA, at Pace Art + Technology. Bigger than a gallery, smaller than a museum, you can easily spend half a day here.

My favorite piece in the show? Crows are Chased and the Chasing Crows are Destined to be Chased as Well, Division in Perspective – Light in Dark

Ragnar Kjartansson @ Hirshhorn 10/14/16-1/18/17

I’m spending a non-trivial amount of time trying to figure out how to make it to DC before this closes. If you’re on the east coast? Bolt Bus is cheap, you better make it to Ragnar Kjartansson at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, USA. Honestly, The Visitors alone is enough for me to list it, it’s one of my most favorite pieces of video art ever made.
