The galleries are teeming with body parts this month. At Stout Projects, Clarity Haynes presents a series of bracing, carefully observed, truncated torsos of older women–the type of nude bodies we rarely see on public display. Less somber ruminations can be found at This Friday or Next Friday where Catherine Haggarty‘s brushy hairstyles, painted with a light touch on diminutive panels, speak to vague memories and everyday experience. In Ginny Casey‘s paintings at 106 Green, on view through Sunday, hands lopped off at the wrist hover over tabletops and interact with vases and pots to tell enigmatic stories of love and longing.
