RENTAL GALLERY PRESENTS Margaux Ogden:  Space Never Moved March 17 – April 18 Opening Reception:  Saturday, March 17, 4-6PM 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY   NEW YORK  –  Rental Gallery  is proud to present  Space Never Moved , an exhibition of new paintings by  Margaux Ogden  opening with a public reception on  March 17 , and remaining on view until  April 18 . With these new works, Ogden continues her exploration of acrylic on raw canvas, parsing gesture and palette to create tightly patterned, self-referential works. Ogden’s singular approach strips the paintings to their bare essentials: paint, canvas, gesture—and within that, time. In the past, Ogden used phrases and symbols as a painterly typeface, repeating pictographs and bits of often-redacted text in an act of encoded intimacy. Here, she reverses course, redacting the confessional language, leaving behind stark, meditative fields. Yet even though these new paintings lack discernable script, she has

REYES PROJECTS AT NADA NEW YORK PRESENTING JAMES BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BOOTH 2.03 MARCH 8-11, 2018 DETROIT, MI –  Reyes Projects  is pleased to announce a solo presentation of new work by Detroit-based artist  James Benjamin Franklin  at  NADA New York, March 8 - 11, 2018 . This will be the gallery’s first booth at the fair’s New York iteration. Loosely constructed shapes and unwieldy textures combine in Franklin’s work to form a style that is uniquely untethered by traditional narrative. Shape, texture, and palette flow into one another, overlap, and expand in dynamic compositions liberated from the confines of a canvas. In these works, Franklin has found solace in the ambiguity of sculptural painting with shapes born from wire and panels from objects found in his studio. Franklin’s forms become unwieldy, even awkward, but are no less vibrant and exciting for it. Their lack of balance implies a kineticism and propulsion echoed in their pu
