September Gallery Shows: Community, Obsession, and Phantasms Reviewed

In the New York Times' Newly Reviewed column for September, critic Will Heinrich highlights three distinct exhibitions opening that month. The first, at an unnamed gallery, showcases the power of community through a collective display. The second features Morgan O’Hara, an artist known for her obsessive documentation practice, which involves recording the movements of people and processes. The third presents Noah Jemisin, whose work explores phantasms—imaginary or ghostly apparitions—through his art. Heinrich's reviews appear in the context of the September art season, a period when galleries typically launch major exhibitions. The column is part of the Times' ongoing coverage of gallery shows, providing critical insight into contemporary art trends. While specific venues and dates are not detailed in the summary, the reviews are part of a weekly feature that guides readers through notable exhibitions in New York and beyond.
