Yok and Sheryo are a Brooklyn-based street art duo from Australia and Singapore, respectively. They are known for traveling the world and creating characters that range from strange, grotesque, to sometimes weirdly cute. Shadows is a new mixed media show at Masters Projects featuring sculptures and paintings. The work is all in black and white, which gives these photos an almost monochrome look.
Shadows runs through January 1, 2016 at Masters Projects in Brooklyn

Brett Amory’s This Land is Not For Sale: Forgotten, Past and Foreseeable Futures at Jonathan LeVine Gallery is a new solo exhibition exploring the changing landscape of New York City. Paintings of famous storefronts and buildings are showcased. Some are long gone (Mars Bar, CBGB.) Some are still around (ABC No Rio, Economy Candy, Yonah Shimmel.) Some are currently going through changes (190 Bowery.) Featured in the entrance of the gallery is one of those green construction underpasses seen all over the city. As hyper gentrification continues, how many more of the businesses featured in these paintings will be replaced with luxury developments?

I joined the rally in Bryant Park and got some shots.
The Brooklyn Army Terminal is a former military base turned office/warehouse complex located on the Sunset Park waterfront. Unopened to the general public, I was able to take a look inside during Open House New York weekend. The first thing I noticed while shooting is how symmetrical everything is. Designed by Cass Gilbert, the architecture presents an opportunity for a lot of cool shots.
