Good Naked (Brooklyn NY) is pleased to present SWEAT, a 3-person exhibition of works by Claire Lachow, Zach Seeger & River Valadez opening Friday, May 29th from 5-8pm.
SWEAT nods to the beginning of summer and the ritual of crowded subways, openings, and city streets. The exhibition pays tribute to the sweat of art production and the drippiness of paint, glass, and other materials that move and disperse with languid shifts. The works in this exhibition embody a desire to re-present and re-program our responses to images and subjects we know well - flowers, figures moving through space, open windows, and the craft of art making mined over and over in direct, deliberate motions that draw us close to our past and motivate us to seek out alternate futures.
SWEAT will be on view May 29 - June 28, 2026
The exhibition is open by appointment.
