Tom Sachs’ new installation Space Program: Mars, opened last week at the Park Avenue Armory. Sachs has filled the entire 55,000 square foot hall with sculptures that transport you on a mission to outer space. The sculptures are all life size, ranging from a Hasselblad camera (made out of a Canon, painted white) to a giant replica of the spacecraft that landed on Mars. It’s a mind-blowing, ambitious and exciting show.

Space Program: Mars is on view at the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave., NYC, through June 17.

These paintings by Holton Rower are created by pouring a specially developed paint onto wood and allowing gravity to do these rest. Nineteen of the artist’s pour paintings are on view at The Hole, 312 Bowery, NYC, through May 27.

London-based photographer Stephen Gill bought a lot of 9000 images off Ebay two years ago, marked as documenting London’s East End. They turned out to be thousands upon thousands of wedding photographs. Taken by an unknown photographer in the late 50′s, they document couples wedding in post-WWII London, and have a lovely sameness to them. They will be published in an upcoming book called Hackney Kisses.

She passed away this week at the age of 95. And, judging from the photograph of her the Times ran with her obituary, she was incredibly photogenic until the end.
