8. “That’s Not It” at Mana Contemporary
The title of this two-week group exhibition at Mana Contemporary, curated by Alex Czetwertynski, is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of the difficulty in defining new artwork that engages with modern technology. This so-called post-new media art is explored in Mana SMT’s New Media Program, and Czetwertynski has filled the institution’s basement with artwork from Mana’s resident artists, as well as from other practitioners of this evolving, experimental branch of contemporary art. Expect moving light sculptures and interactive sound art, among other digitally informed works.

Location: Mana Contemporary, 888 Newark Avenue, Jersey City
Price: Free
Time: Monday–Friday, tours at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Artist and illustrator Sara Rabin, who has worked with companies such as Barney’s and Vogue, makes cartoon-like drawings inspired by scenes from her daily life and oil paintings she calls “emotional portraits.” Her subjects are mainly women, and both bodies of work speak to the intense mental challenges of living in New York City. As the gallery puts it, Rabin “captures a specific urban malaise.”
