Art Calendar 52 may 2017 i LIC COURIER i www.qns.com Dorsky Gallery 11-03 45th Ave. 718-937-6317 “Almost Home: Between Staying and Leaving a Phantom Land” On view through July 16 The artists in Almost Home: Between Staying and Leaving a Phantom Land, examine the roles of the foreigner and the local, the transient and the native, inviting questions about relation to place, and exploring the different realities dislocation engenders. This exhibition highlights subject matter derived from perceptions of foreignness and familiarity, conjuring such questions as: How do we observe places and on what do we base our impressions? Does personal identity, memory and history determine one’s relation to a place as much or more than the experience of change? And finally, how do others observe our surroundings, and alternatively, how do we view the places of others? SculptureCenter 44-19 Purves St. 718-361-1750 “Sam Anderson:The Park” On view through July 31 For her exhibition, Anderson abstracts and isolates the town square. Casting particular characters in mid-gesture, Anderson suspends the action of a community: a waitress, a stork, a children’s orchestra, a teacher, an entertainer, a pedestrian, a teen actress, a public sculpture, a designer, a historian, and an escaped panthereach carries out their role despite the other as fragments of a larger network. MoMA PS1 22-25 Jackson Ave. 718-777-6888 “Maureen Gallace: Clear Day” On view through Sept. 10 For more than 25 years, Maureen Gallace has painted genre scenes drawn from the American landscape and still life traditions. Her small canvases and panels most commonly depict rural pastorals and coastlines, typically featuring nondescript barns or cottages amid dunes and foliage in settings that evoke holiday cards and vacation snapshots. Gallace’s paintings, however, unsettle the reassuring sentimentality of such pictures. Situated on sunny bluffs and among verdant yards, her buildings can appear at turns inviting and inaccessible, sometimes lacking doors or windows. This exhibition features the largest group of Gallace’s paintings yet assembled.
