It's not peak gallery season here in New York City, but there are still some openings this week and also there's one last chance to catch several good shows before everybody shuts down for the holidays. If you haven't been, check out the Martin Creed show at Hauser & Wirth and also at Gavin Brown's enterprise, both are up until December 21st. The big survey of works by New York-based artist Tony Feher is still on view at the Bronx Museum, and he also has a show of new works at Sikkema Jenkins & Co that's up until January 18. And don't forget the big Afrofuturist exhibition "The Shadows Took Shape" at the Studio Museum in Harlem and MoMA PS1's gigantic Mike Kelley survey that will be out in Long Island City until February 2.
