Beginning February 26, 2015, Luxembourg & Dayan will presentDie Hexe, a solo exhibition by Alex Da Corte. For Die Hexe (“The Witch” in German), Da Corte has created a site-specific installation that consumes the gallery's East 77th Street townhouse, turning it into an implausible cross between a dollhouse and a haunted house. Here visitors will take a journey through familiar imagery and obscure biographical references that mingle, repeat, trade places, and morph into new provocations that invite reflections on memory, impulse, the stability of knowledge, and what constitutes value in a work of art.

The Jewish Museum will present a series of recent photographs by artist Laurie Simmons, on view from March 13 to August 9, 2015. The seven new works in Laurie Simmons: How We See draw upon the 'Doll Girls' community, women who alter themselves to look like Barbie, baby dolls, and Japanese Anime characters through make-up, dress, and even cosmetic surgery. Simmons' images call to mind high school portraits, featuring fashion models posed in front of a curtained backdrop, cropped from the shoulders up. Prismatic lighting and small, surprising details in the models' clothing lends these otherwise banal images a psychedelic effect, which is exaggerated by each girl's preternaturally large, sparkling eyes. They stare out at the viewer with an uncanny, alien gaze, created by lavishly painting eyes onto the models' closed eyelids-a technique drawn from the 'Doll Girls' themselves.
