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

16. Claudia Hart: When A Rose is Not a Rose When A Rose is Not a Rose, Hart’s reflection on the ubiquitous Gertrude Stein poem from 1913, presents the artist’s recent explorations on her own denial of death. Primarily using photography and animated video, Hart crafts compelling metaphors for Freud’s das unheimlich (the uncanny) in virtual statues and models that are filled with human emotion, such as loss, pain and the fear of death.
