Stacy Kranitz: Ain’t No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down
Oct. 30-Dec. 15, 2026 at The Gallatin Galleries at New York University
An exhibition of photography by Stacy Kranitz that examines visual depictions of Appalachia from the invention of photography to the present day, tracing how poverty in the region has been constructed, challenged, and reimagined over time.
Drawers: Provocative Drawings
A survey of contemporary drawings organized around sexual ideas. The installation is arranged into four salon-style clusters of drawings from a diverse range of artists, as well as two spotlit works — a large-scale charcoal sketch by Thornton Dial and a triptych of “Fuck Grid” drawings by Betty Tompkins.
Drawers artists are: Jeremy Biles, Annie Brito Hodgin, John Brooks, Sai Clayton, Paul Collins, Thornton Dial, William Downs, Fetish, Kevin Guthrie, Brady Haston, Clarity Haynes, Brett Douglas Hunter, Perrin R. Ireland, Lee Isaacson, Kimia Ferdowsi Kline, Julia Martin, Rebecca Morgan, Elisheba Israel Mrozik, Ozu, Ryan M. Pfeiffer + Rebecca Walz, Katarina Riesing, Lindsey Rome, Sal Salandra, Louis M. Schmidt, Willie Stewart, Betty Tompkins, XPayne, Caleb Yono
Futurephilia: Sex and Science Fiction in Contemporary Art
Futurephilia came out of the pull toward sci-fi and future-gazing that generally accompanies major devastation. The idea that we might actually make it — that we might live to see the future — is such a massive turn-on that it might theoretically create a new sexuality. Hence, futurephilia.
Futurephilia artists are: David Onri Anderson, Siena Barnes, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Liz Collins, Anton van Dalen, Samuel Dunson, James Gallagher, Judith Linhares, Dutes Miller, Carlos Rodriguez, Benjy Russell, Rafael Santiago and Frances Waite.
Shag: Provocative Textiles
Shag brings together artists whose work examines eroticism and sexuality through textile-based media. Textile art often flies under the radar of the fine-art industry, allowing it to evolve more organically, with limited visibility and criticism. The result is a kind of subculture within the contemporary art world.
Shag artists are: Elijah Burgher, Jessica Campbell, Elise Drake, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Alicia Henry, Shannon Cartier Lucy, Sophia Narrett, Katarina Riesing, Erin M. Riley, Sal Salandra, Linnéa Sjöberg, Chiffon Thomas, Vadis Turner
Nerve: The Female Body in Women’s Art
Nerve artists are: Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Elizabeth Glaessner, Shannon Cartier Lucy, Ceres Moberg, Skye Parrott, Karen Seapker, Jenna Westra, and WIFE.
As part of this exhibit, Shannon Cartier Lucy will have a limited run of prints of her painting “Morning Prayer” available. All work is available for purchase through Wilder.
Sleep Eazy at The Iris Motel
In whatever medium they choose — whether painting, sculpture, photography, or video — each of these 10 artists make work that pushes boundaries without making a big fuss about it.
Sleep Eazy artists are: Noah Jashinsky, Jodi Hays, Stacy Kranitz, Elise Drake, Amelia Briggs, Karen Seapker, Benjy Russell, Josh Elrod, Rocky Horton and Alex Lockwood.
Triple Fantasy at Third Man Records
This exhibit combines the work of three artists whose work deals with some facet of sex magick. If, as Freud thought, sex and magical thinking are the twin pillars of the subconscious, sex magick is its logical manifestation into consciousness. Sex and the occult have always been entwined — both are intimate, often forbidden acts that are kept secret and mysterious.
Triple Fantasy featured drawings and prints by Elijah Burgher, photographs by Benjy Russell and a painting made exclusively for the exhibition by Tracy Nakayama.

Selvage at Tennessee State University
Selvage is a collaborative curatorial venture between Laura Hutson Hunter and Jodi Hays. Hays and Hunter found inspiration in textiles — mainly quilts and quilt patterns — and the work spanned a variety of disciplines from drawing to sculpture.
Selvage artists are: Gabriel Pionkowski, Shannon Cartier Lucy, Jovencio de la Paz, Brandon Donahue, Alex Blau, Jodi Hays, Courtney Adair Johnson, Maggie Haas, Aimee Miller and Louis Schmidt.
