Don’t make the mistake of taking your own vacation from art just yet — there’s still plenty to see. For starters, visit CLAMP’s showcase of James Bidgood’s homoerotic photographs from the 1960s, a phantasmagoria of mythological cosplay closing this weekend. An exhibition of Beauford Delaney’s drawings at the Drawing Center is another must-see, as it focuses on the importance of this medium in the artist’s practice, and Sandra Poulson’s work, currently at MoMA PS1, is a fascinating take on the political life of domestic symbols and objects. Meanwhile, a quick trip to Greenwich, Connecticut, will lead you to the Bruce Museum, where Jeremy Frey’s stunning basketry awaits. And while you’re out and about in the city, make sure to check out American Art Catalogues’s small but potent show of paintings by [Joe Brainard](https://americanartcatalogues.com/presentations/joe-brainard-239?ref=hyperallergic.com), up through this weekend. —*Natalie Haddad, Reviews Editor* --- ### James Bidgood: Dreamlands [**CLAMP**](https://clampart.com/2025/07/dreamlands/?ref=hyperallergic.com#thumbnails), 247 West 29th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan Through August 29 ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2025/08/jb3.jpg) James Bidgood, “Bruce Kirkman Leaning on Willow Tree” (1965) (photo Daniel Larkin/*Hyperallergic*) "He portrayed young men with phantasmagorical aplomb, often as mythological figures, going against the grain of the beefcake sensibility dominant at the time." —*Daniel Larkin* [Read the review](https://hyperallergic.com/james-bidgood-dreamy-homoerotica/). --- ## Jeremy Frey: Woven [**Bruce Museum**](https://brucemuseum.org/exhibitions/jeremy-frey-woven/?ref=hyperallergic.com), 1 Museum Drive, Greenwich, Connecticut Through September 7 ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2025/08/jeremy-frey-woven_-photo-by-julie-smith-schneider-11.jpg) Jeremy Frey, “Double-Walled Point Basket” (2018), ash, cedar bark, and dye (photo Julie Schneider/*Hyperallergic*) "In each impeccable vessel, ancestral Wabanaki basketmaking traditions crisscross with the Passamaquoddy artist’s distinctive creative vision." —*Julie Schneider* [Read the review](https://hyperallergic.com/jeremy-frey-mesmerizing-wonder-of-wabanaki-weaving/). --- ### In the Medium of Life: The Drawings of Beauford Delaney [**The Drawing Center**](https://drawingcenter.org/exhibitions/beauford-delaney?ref=hyperallergic.com), 35 Wooster Street, Soho, Manhattan Through September 14 ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2025/08/bd019.jpg) Beauford Delaney, “Self-Portrait” (1964), watercolor and gouache on paper (courtesy Ruth and Joe Fielden, Knoxville; photo Knoxville Museum of Art, © Estate of Beauford Delaney, by permission of Derek L.
