In New York, Thinking of You
May 6, 2023–June 3, 2023The FLAG Art Foundation, New York
In New York, Thinking of You is a two-part group exhibition featuring largely new or never-before-exhibited artworks by over two dozen female, female-identifying, and nonbinary artists. Centering on painting, the exhibition highlights a range of formal disciplines, conceptual practices, subject matters, and approaches to art making. Taking inspiration and its title from the song hornylovesickmess, 2022, by Norwegian singer-songwriter Marie Ulven aka girl in red, In New York, Thinking of You features work either selected by the artists or made specifically for the exhibition that responds to the often-conflicting emotions and experiences laid bare in the song: desire, longing, sex, melancholy, tenderness, vulnerability, power, alienation, quiet reflection, etc.
