Brazilian artist Laura Lima’s installation Tailor Shop, currently installed at Chelsea’s Tanya Bonkadar Gallery, showcases labor and process as much as finished artwork. Working on one side of the main gallery, local tailors realize the designs Lima has created to ‘dress’ the empty frames hanging on the other side the space. Named after various people important to Lima, each frame will be clothed in a striking abstract garment as it is completed. (On view through April 4th). Laura Lima, Aracy, fabric, thread, wood, 21 ½ x 15 ¾ x 2 inches, 2019.

A letter from Aracy for all of you To print E-mail This teacher lives in Rio de Janeiro, the big city by the sea. To get to know more closely the problems of teaching among the little Indians, she came to spend two months at the Caiua Mission.

Aracy 19 – Drugs To print E-mail - Ah! it's hot! Aracy sighs. Almost forty degrees in the shade! At home, you can at least shower as often as you want.
