BIG BANGS London artist Sarah Pickering’s large-scale photographs are on display in “Explosions.” The series captures controlled, simulated explosions using pyrotechnics for British law enforcement training. The explosions were meant to re-create the look of explosions caused by napalm, firebombs, land mines, and other deadly materials. A previous series focused on the false-front “towns” used as disaster simulation training centers. Through Saturday, February 25, Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Daniel Cooney Fine Art, 511 W. 25th St. at Tenth Avenue, no. 506, 212-255-8158, free.
