Last week the Columbia Museum of Art unveiled a sculpture by Steven Naifeh. “Jali,” a 13-foot high work made of electric blue galvanized steel, is an abstract piece. From certain angles, the shape looks to have been formed by linking crosses or variations of the letter “x”. The installation comes two months before the museum mounts “Found in Translation: The Art of Steven Naifeh” in May. The show is the first retrospective museum exhibition of Naifeh’s paintings and sculptures.

“Cash Crop,” Steven Hayes’ exhibition at 701 Center for Contemporary Art, will be held over through March 31. The show includes sculptures of shackled people, intimating the captivity of slaves.
