Nikholis Planck and David Armacost Present 'Open Time' at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Nikholis Planck and David Armacost, studio neighbors, are exhibiting concurrently at Rachel Uffner Gallery in New York, with Planck's work in the ground-floor space and Armacost's in the upstairs gallery. Both shows share the title 'Open Time,' creating ambiguity over whether it constitutes a two-person exhibition or separate solo presentations. Planck displays mixed-media floor sculptures and oil paintings coated in silicone, noted for their fleshy texture and a shift from text-focused earlier pieces to spatial concerns, with nearly invisible handwritten notations. Armacost presents oil and charcoal paintings alongside hanging sculptures. Their works blur boundaries between two- and three-dimensional forms, with imagery crossing traditional divides of picture plane and object. The gallery's press release describes 'Open Time' as a window of opportunity, reflecting the artists' mutual influence. The exhibition runs through February 21 at 170 Suffolk Street.
