A new public art installation titled "Sail Through This to That" by conceptual artist indira allegra will debut on May 28 at Philadelphia's Spruce Street Harbor as part of the new ArtPhilly festival. The work features a trio of neon-colored schooner sails mounted on the historic vessel North Wind, commemorating the 1796 escape from enslavement of Ona Judge, who fled the household of George and Martha Washington.
Brooklyn-based artist Charis Ammon presents "Pedestrian," an exhibition of oil paintings depicting storefronts from her Bushwick neighborhood and other parts of New York City, at Sargent's Daughters Gallery in Tribeca. The works, inspired by photographs taken during her daily walks, feature scenes of Chinese takeout places, bodegas, dry cleaners, and laundromats, often incorporating reflections of buildings across the street. The exhibition runs through January 24 and is Ammon's second with the gallery, which is owned by Allegra LaViola.
