Getaways and Vacationlands

Christina Shurts, who is already widely exhibited in California, will make her New York debut tomorrow at RARE Gallery. " The imagery in Shurts' paintings is derived from memories, relics of her childhood, personal photographs, decor magazines, and films," according to the gallery. "They serve as a treasure chest of resources that allows her to mine and investigate the philosophical issues to which nostalgic longing gives rise." "Luxury Soup," a solo exhibition of Ms. Shurts' work, runs March 17 to April 14 at RARE Gallery, 547 West 27 Street, #514, between 10th and 11th avenues, 646-339-6050, rare-gallery.com.
