If you’ve followed this artist’s career you’ve most certainly seen change, constant change. But Nayland Blake is an artist with a resolve that is often chock-full of satire and lop-sided brilliance. Along with Location One (26 Greene St, NY) they are about to embark on a 25-year survey of his work called Behavior. And the show will also deliver nightly with performative elements from guest artists including Zeena Parkins, Chris Cochran, Carolee Schneemann, Carmelita Tropicana, Rob Fitterman, Alyssa Wendt and others. Blake is represented by Matthew Marks Gallery. Opening on December 2 the show then runs through Valentine’s Day.

FINAL WK: While you are at it, you can still catch a glimpse of Blake’s stealth contribution to .meta before it closes its six-week run at Linfield College’s Miller Art Center. 3 More Viewing Days: 11/25, 28 + 29.
