Paul Sharits' 1976 film Dream Displacement serves as the focus of this recently-opened solo show at Greene Naftali, which runs until October 3rd. Sharits was part of a group of experimental artists who emerged in the 1960s as the structural film school – a small but influential movement that has long had the gallery's support. This exhibition, co-presented by the Anthology Film Archives, features the looped multi-projector 16mm print of Dream Displacement alongside a selection of paintings and reference material.

For only a little while longer, the Greene Naftali gallery in New York will be hosting an exhibition in their eighth floor space featuring a variety of works on paper by a vast selection of artists. Some of the participants include Richard Aldrich, Ed Clark, Tony Conrad, Joan Jonas, Paul Sharits, Paul Thek, and Charline Von Heyl. A large number of the drawings and paintings in the show were produced in 2015, but it also features some important works from previous decades, including a 1983 acrylic painting by the underappreciated Paul Thek, and one of Tony Conrad’s early '70s Yellow Movies, that stretched and redefined what is thought of as a film.
