Looking towards the ides of May tracing the string of holidays and the four-day weekends. We have set up shop in Paris. Bread, wine, cheese, and sour grapes… Welcome to the 044th edition of Prescriptions. Here is our review of the week in the arts.

50 Years After 50 Years of Bauhaus

Juan Uslé
Juan Usle / Open Night
Juan Uslé exploits the nature of opposites: between organic and geometric forms, randomness and order, and the simultaneous physicality of paint and its ability to disappear into sheer, ethereal surfaces. Through June 23, 2018 at Frith Street Gallery.
Carla van de Puttelaar
