If you ever contemplated buying art but were put off by a steep price, Haul Gallery’s group exhibition Pay What You Want (until 9 February) proposes a cheeky alternative. For each work in the show, buyers can name their own price to acquire it, on a first-come, first-serve basis, with $1 as the price floor.

IF YOU ARE A MILLENNIAL AND ART WORLD ADJACENT, chances are you’ve come across the Instagram posts of artists Brad Troemel or Joshua Citarella. Originally famous for artistic gags and trolls, these days, Troemel posts curated selections from TikTok that he appends with ironic captions referencing aspects of contemporary internet culture: hustle porn, new age manifestation, or therapy talk, to name a few.

The oak tree’s dense foliage envelops its viewer almost as if it were an actual tree. Rendered in sepia ink handmade from oak gall, Hannah Chalew’s Embodied Emissions (2020) spans more than two metres in width. Underneath the wide foliage lies a surreal twist: an upside-down chemical plant whose pipes connect to the branches above as if they were its roots.

One of the oldest continuously operating farms in the United States has a new artwork designed, quite literally, for the birds. Within the grasslands of Appleton Farms, founded in 1638 in Ipswich, Massachusetts, artist Jean Shin used salvaged wood and copper to create sculptures that function as resting places for the bobolink birds who nest on the farm during their annual northern migration.

When I visited AAA3A in December 2023, a gallery that artist Blanka Amezkua has run out of her South Bronx apartment for almost a decade, several makeshift plinths not only looked stylish but also suited the quirky artworks they displayed.
