Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 12, from 6 to 7:30 PM for an exhibition walkthrough of “Telenovela” led by exhibition curator Aimé Iglesias Lukin, director and chief curator of Art at Americas Society, followed by a special performance by exhibiting artist Lucas Michael (@luquense), as a part of @artweeknyc 2026.
The walkthrough will explore how melodrama, camp, and popular culture challenge conventions surrounding class, gender, and social norms through visual art.
Following the walkthrough, the program will feature a performance by Lucas Michael (b. 1965, Buenos Aires, Argentina; lives and works in New York, New York) originally commissioned for the Hammer Museum in 2007 titled “No u didn’t.” The work is based on a 2006 video “U Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” in which Michael lip-syncs to Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond’s “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” effectively performing a duet with himself.
Moving across different points in time, the performance introduces another dichotomy: Michael’s youthful face, frozen on video, versus his living, aging body, now 19 years older. The video itself also ages. While Michael’s image remains young on screen, the technology that preserves it continues to evolve, leaving “No, u didn’t” suspended between past and present.

For several hot and sticky weeks in June and July, photographer @luquense, armed with his enormous Polaroid Big Shot camera, spent his evenings zigzagging through the city documenting New Yorkers beginning, in the middle of, and wrapping up their nights out.
From the Ping-Pong players of Seward Park to the ravers under the K Bridge in Greenpoint, all these people had one thing in common, Michael says: “Everybody was a character.” Which is also evident from the interviews Abby Schreiber conducted with the people they met — among them a heavy-metal drummer in a band with his dad called Vomit Fist, an Upper East Sider who met her (now ex-) husband on the dance floor of Studio 54 on her 16th birthday, and a bingo-hall legend who would rather be getting her nails done.
Swipe to see a selection from a sweaty scrapbook of New Yorkers going out this summer and tap the link in our bio to read the Night Moves zine in full.
This week, you can grab a free copy of the zine at @casamagazinesnyc and @iconicmagazines.

DECADE OF FIERMAN MEMORY STOP AT LUCAS MICHAEL’S 2021 SHOW TRANSCRIPTIONS ! Feb 3 - March 14, 2021
FIERMAN presents Transcriptions, a solo exhibition by Argentinian-born New York based artist Lucas Michael. It is his first solo exhibition with the gallery, following his inclusion in the 2019 group show Circus of Books. Michael is known for his conceptual explorations into systems and regimes of power, and the way language and symbols can be used as agents of repression and subversive code. The work on view, all titled Transcriptions, emerge from his ongoing interest in the book form and specifically reference the Rorschach inkblot. Like much of his work, the new paintings are abstract, though, in his own words, Michael uses abstraction “as a form of drag,” to mask he personal and the contextual, the histrionic, the psycho-sexual, and the socio-historical in the guise of visual universality.
Michael’s new paintings are comprised of India ink on raw, unstretched canvas. The technique is simultaneously controlled and aleatory, akin to automatic writing; he is using an ink-coated string pulled between folds of the canvas, not fully knowing the visual form until after the marks have been made. They are semi-symmetrical, and in varying tonalities of black based on the density of the ink. Their relation to the Rorschach test is both formal and conceptual, recalling the psychological and diagnostic nature of the original. The paintings are an extension of an earlier project in which Michael obscured the pages of pseudo-scientific racist and homophobic books with abstract ink blots. Visually the compositions are both micro and macroscopic, calling to mind both the cosmos and the contents of a single cell.
Alongside the Transcriptions Michael will be exhibiting selections from a series of black and white ink-on-paper drawings. The technique is similar to the paintings, though the forms all resemble a faceless human head, reifying the inscrutability of the human mind in opposition to external forces attempting to codify, define, and as such oppress marginalized groups.
