Don’t be fooled by the pink hues in Heather Benjamin’s curatorial debut “Maiden Form,” currently on view at Andrew Eldin Gallery. The last decade’s trend of all-girl group shows arguably only perpetuated the myth of the eternal feminine, seemingly fixated on the cis woman’s experience of erotica and menstruation.

LA Bougainvillea is irritatingly picture-perfect; it couldn’t be more perfect if it was packed up inside a fur-lined shoe box with a lid that reads “Vital Perfection”—a box of which Fleury herself produced a hundred.

Revisiting PlayStation’s 1997 car racing game Gran Turismo is both thrilling and nauseating, the only way I could describe it is as “accelerated nostalgia.” Is this what happens when you die? Gran Turismo is a fitting name for Cristina Tufiño and Jonny Negron’s duo show at Selena Gallery, a collection of multi-media works chock full of cultural references, from…

TEXT BY ARIELLA STARKMAN   I am running to catch up with my heartbeat, as if I need to be close to death for the speed of its rhythm to make sense. Some days I stop and look around at the stillness—what I see are books lying awry, bottles that have been forgotten, notebooks that…
