Your Concise New York Art Guide for May 2022

May in New York is chock-full of art fairs and arts programming, and the city’s galleries and museums are keeping pace by bringing the heat. This month, Hélio Oiticica’s radical plans for an immersive outdoor sculptural installation conceived in 1971 are finally realized; intertwined corporeal shapeshifters Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge are honored with their first major posthumous solo exhibition; and six decades of Cecilia Vicuña’s work across media will be on view in — bafflingly — her inaugural New York museum solo show. Enjoy and be safe.
