This week the New Museum’s hotly anticipated triennial, The Ungovernables, opens to the public, featuring the work of thirty-four artists under forty. Luhring Augustine holds its inaugural show in its Bushwick location with two video installations by Charles Atlas. Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, of the band Throbbing Gristle and more recently the subject of the acclaimed documentary The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye, has her second solo exhibition at Invisible-Exports. Other highlights include two installations by Mary Kelly at Postmasters Gallery and Yinka Shonibare’s Fake Death Pictures at James Cohan Gallery.
