Practicing the art of destruction, Alex Lukas renders urban landscapes uninhabitable, submerging them underwater and thick with foliage. Next month, the artist will exhibit his collection of vintage magazine photos turned into post-apocalyptic metropolises alongside a collection of more contemporary images of devastating despair. “The Eventuality of Daybreak” opens from November 12th through December 6th at Glowlab, 30 Grand Street.

The picturesque collages of Javier Piñón’s collages are missing something. The iconic hero, the cowboy, is cut from the frontier landscape, leaving behind a white silhouette to ponder. Tonight, Piñón puts his “Martyrs” series on display with artwork by Swoon, Matthew Lusk and Santiago Mostyn for Drift, a group exhibition exploring the challenges faced by contemporary nomads and travelers. The show opens tonight at Glowlab, which continues to support Swoon’s Swimming Cities of Serennisima with a portion of their proceeds. Drift opens tonight from 7 to 9 PM and will be on display through July 26 at 30 Grand Street in the Lower East Side.
