Opening: “Shallow Mirror High Tower” at Arsenal Contemporary
This four-person group show explores environments and the power dynamics that undergird them. “Sites we occupy and transverse, from high rise buildings to the ocean, become metonymies for those who secure our access to them, dictating our mobility across space and time,” a release explains. Alongside a film by Julie Favreau, photography by Rose Marcus, and paintings by Wanda Koop, the show includes Caroline Monnet’s video Like Ships in The Night, which documents a transatlantic voyage by ship from Ijmuiden, the Netherlands, to the artist’s hometown of Montreal.
Arsenal Contemporary, 214 Bowery, 6–8 p.m.

Alongside art by Joan E. Biren, Harmony Hammond, Greer Lankton, Barbara Hammer, and many more, curators Lucy Beni and Adam Shopkorn are showcasing work by Nelson Sullivan, who once ran a salon in the space now occupied by Fort Gansevoort that attracted local artists.
