Photographer Matthew Sleeth’s Various Positions (parts 1 through 6) opens in Chelsea’s own Claire Oliver TONIGHT! The concept of position, both within the individual images and collectively between the pieces is at the center of Sleeth’s work, which depicts an ordered, more perfected view of the chaotic world in which we live. Working toward a new photographic aesthetic, Sleeth captures images with the whimsy of a snapshot that upon closer inspection offer a complex observation. Named one of PDN Magazine’s influential “30 under 30” fine artists, don’t miss the latest exhibition from one of photography’s rising stars.

The newly opened exhibition titled In Real Life, a series of four-hour residencies by art critics, bloggers, and curators in now on view and taking place at Capricious Space gallery in Brooklyn. This conglomeration of performances, talks, and workshops are mainly aimed at meditation on the evolution of art and culture in cyberspace. Along the lines of the classic adage “what is art?” these web-based projects challenge how contemporary technology influences the ways in which people create, share, and discuss art and culture. Breaking the barrier, this exhibition exploits the concept of the solitary Internet experience by subjecting it to a public forum. Organized by Laurel Ptak, In Real Life will be at Capricious Space through March 28 and is most assuredly a unique and provocative experience.
