Everything You Need To Know This Week On New York's Art Scene

8. Kristen Schiele, Beyond the Rocks Beyond the Rocks as the show title is a double- or perhaps triple-entendre. Referencing the 1922 silent film directed by Sam Wood, starring Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson, the title also suggests going beyond the “rocks” (hard times, booze), as well as literally a journey through a rocky northern landscape. Certainly, many of these works were made at Schiele’s studio upstate, where she sequestered herself for months before the show, steeped in nature. Organic energy and sensation bristle within Schiele’s work.
