Erica Samuels Curates 'Nightswimming' Exhibition at Broadway Gallery Through February 2026

Curator Erica Samuels presents 'Nightswimming' at Broadway Gallery in Tribeca, exploring nocturnal aquatic themes through diverse contemporary works. The exhibition, on view through February 21, 2026, features artists including Joel Mesler, Woody de Othello, Katherine Bradford, Angel Otero, Mary Heilmann, Ann Craven, Scott Reeder, Mathew Cerletty, and Matthew Wong. Works range from Joel Mesler's 2025 pigment on linen piece 'Nightswimming' to Woody de Othello's 2020 ceramic 'Momentary pause for a moment of silence.' Katherine Bradford contributes 'Night Swimmers Green House' from 2025, while Angel Otero's 2025 collage 'Memory Flooded' offers frenetic energy. Mary Heilmann's 1995 'Curl' provides Color Field calm, and Ann Craven's 2025 'Moon (April Full, Green Sky)' presents Luminist-inspired scenes. Scott Reeder's 2025 'bain de minuit' ventures into magical realism, and Mathew Cerletty's 2018 'Far Out' depicts celestial bodies. The exhibition draws inspiration from R.E.M.'s 1992 song, examining water's symbolic resonance with purity, passage, and renewal through nighttime swimming's solitary introspection.
