Venus Over Manhattan will present Retinal Hysteria, an expansive two-venue exhibition curated by Robert Storr, who was previously Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, and Dean of the Yale University School of Art. Featuring works by more than forty artists, Retinal Hysteria draws its inspiration from Eye Infection, the landmark 2001–2002 exhibition presented to critical acclaim by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

On Great Jones Street, an east side enclave between the hubs of New York City’s art world, Chelsea and Tribeca, a mob of frenetic paintings fill the walls of Adam Lindemann’s gallery Venus Over Manhattan. 

The curator's current exhibition reflects on Christian Braum’s early naughties ‘Eye Infection’ with a wink, and a nod to our contemporary moment.

The show—featuring work by artists like Deborah Kass, Peter Saul, and Woody De Othello—spans Venus Over Manhattan's two gallery spaces and delves into the more unsightly spectrum of emotions.
