This weekend, everyone will be (or should be) attending The Creative Time Summit in Bed-Stuy. Leading up to the all-day events this weekend, however, are a handful of promising openings. Monday, check out massive, rarely-seen works from abstract painter Friedal Dzubas in Midtown. Thursday, a Jeff Koons show at Gagosian attempts some metaphysical alchemy, and Friday morning, Juliana Huxtable’s new MoMA commission opens. Friday night we couldn’t be more excited for solo shows by Alex Ebstein and Meriem Bennani at Cuevas Tilleard Projects and SIGNAL, respectively.

Alex Ebstein: Form/Fit
We’ve shown a lot of love for Alex Ebstein on the blog. And for good reason: she has a rare eye for composition and restraint and a knack for innovative use of materials in painting. Her recent “paintings” have been constructed from cut-up and reassembled colorful yoga mats. They’re gorgeous as abstract images, but also bring to mind a host of associations about the body, process, and consumerism. This is her first solo show in New York, and we’re excited to see it.
