Gordon Hall's exhibition "Hands and Knees" at the Kitchen in New York features sculptures made from chrome cantilevered chairs with seats and backs removed, arranged in configurations that evoke bodies on all fours. The show includes unannounced performances where performers are carried in on stretcher-like sculptures and placed on the chair forms, exploring themes of submission, rest, and bodily interaction. Separately, the article reviews Martha Diamond's posthumous exhibition "After Image" at David Kordansky Gallery, highlighting her 1986 painting "White Light" and her abstract depictions of New York City.
