Curator Chris Sharp is taking over one of the best spaces on the Lower East Side, Lisa Cooley, for this show on repetition. Some of the most brilliant artists devoted to the ebbs, flows and mutations of the repeat are here such as Wallace Berman, Bernd and Hilla Becher, On Kawara, Josh Smith, Yayoi Kusama and Hanne Darboven.
We cant get enough of the big white thing floating in the night sky. This show, which includes artists like Katier Paterson and Liliane Lijn, examines what it would be like to live up there. Super/Collider are also doing a “Pop Rock Moon Shop” the night of the opening, flogging exciting lunar ephemera to eager punters.
You can always depend on Berlin to throw some artists in your path that you haven’t seen before. This trio group show curated by Samuel Leuenberger & Elise Lammer brings together three great artists making work that feels fresh and worth braving the January frost for: Katharina Fengler, Charlotte Herzig, Sonia Kacem.
A collaborative group show from On Stellar Rays and Sun\Ra projects take the spaced-out creative genius Sun Ra’s poem ‘Cosmic Equation’ as its starting point. The very international list of artists includes San Francisco’s Nate Boyce Montreal based Indian artist Hajra Waheed and Iranian painter Laleh Khorramian.
Alison Jacques is continuing her programme’s devotion to women artists with a great female only show about perception. A lot of the work veers towards abstraction and minimalism such as painters N Dash and Philomene Pirecki, sculptors Erika Verzutti and Maria Bartuszová.
This show gets to grips with the power of objects, with work by some of the brightest stars of contemporary art ranging from biggies like Seth Price, Elad Lassry and Mark Leckey and young guns like Rob Chavasse, Hannah Perry and Viktor Timofeev. A thorough examination of material and meaning.
YOU DON'T NEED A WEATHERMAN TO KNOW WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING
This group show at Hollybush Gardens, which opens January 16, looks simply mouth-watering. There’s the abstract sculptural work of Knut Henrik Henriksen, the broad and brilliant Andrea Büttner, London’s favourite haphazard ceramicist Aaron Angell and the notably artist whose work is so fascinating it is always worth the trip - Pierre Huyghe.

AND NOW
Admittedly Dallas is a bit off the regular art map (outside of its annual fair). However if Texas does beckon, check out the new space from James Cope AND NOW (who is also part of NYC project space COPE CYBULSKI). The inaugural show brings together New Yorkers Borden Capalino, Rose Marcus and Eli Ping.

It would be easy to miss this gem of a painting show at the Tate Britain but it’s worth seeking out. The exhibition of five contemporary painters includes Catherine Story’s incredible representation of sculptural lumps, Tomma Abts eye twisting abstracts and Simon Ling’s very British urban details.
