Madalena Santos Reinbolt’s exhibition at 2 Lincoln Square features dense, free-form landscapes embedded with childhood memories. The works, such as “Untitled” (1962–67), an acrylic wool on burlap piece, seemed to help her hold on to a sense of place, identity, and individuality. The show runs through May 25.
Luis Fernando Benedit’s exhibition at 142 Franklin Street includes works like “Labyrinth for Ants” (1970). His habitats tread a philosophical line between art and science by raising issues about surveillance and control, but prioritizing questions over answers. The show runs through April 5.
