Opening: Hiraki Sawa, “Figment,” James Cohan Gallery
Inspired by a friend’s complete memory loss, London-based artist Hiraki Sawa’s ongoing “Figment” project addresses amnesia through three surreal video works. Judging by the stills on the gallery’s website, the imagery looks sufficiently eerie and evocative: bodies stretch like silly putty and circular objects like records and watch gears hover in midair. —Zoë Lescaze
James Cohan Gallery, 533 W. 26th Street, New York, 6–8 p.m.
