LVL3 ARTIST OF THE WEEK MARCH 23 Em Aull was selected by LVL3 as their artist of the week. The interview features selections from their solo exhibition from the gallery, 'Never Too Much.' Interview conducted by Luca Lotruglio and edited by Paul Fitzpatrick. — LL: What draws you to the large congregations of people that your work sometimes features? EA: I’ve always loved a big crowd, a huge collective feeling. From childhood until tomorrow, big crowd moments have always been a huge part of my life. I love basketball games, wrestling shows, racing, monster trucks, summer concerts in the park, any kind of arena. I think there’s a beautiful indescribable feeling of witnessing something with a mass of people. My favorite event in the world is the Indianapolis 500, the largest single day sporting event in the world. Over 300,000 people attend it and the cars go 250mph. You look a mile and a half in the distance and you see another grandstand. It’s a surreal experience. The hundreds of thousands of people surrounding you validate its reality with their own shock and excitement. Seeing tens of thousands of people jump up and yell in joy, or gasp, or boo and hiss in a collective unspoken unison is so powerful. Crowds, or fans rather, exist in this incredible space where the lines between discomfort and anxiousness blend seamlessly with comfort and collective joy. When I paint crowds, I don’t suggest the number of people. I draw every person with eyes looking on, mouths smiling or frowning, and if the scale isn’t too small I’ll even give them eyebrows and noses. I think it gives my crowd paintings an endless multitude of energy and emotion. — WORKS PICTURED (Paradise Ballroom Mix), 2024 19.5" x 19.5" x 1" Acrylic, Lenticular Sheet, Canvas Babylon System, 2024 19.5" x 19.5" x 1" Acrylic, Canvas, Cut Selection of Record Cover Everyday Reading, 2024 17" x 14" x 1.5" Acrylic, Gesso Board, Ornate Artist's Frame — @emmy.news @lvl3official Portrait & Studio 📸 by @benjibustamante

OPEN THIS WEEK Nick Fusaro Foreman March 5 — April 12, 2026 "On the gallery's floor are six blue-gray nodules, inspired by a found object the artist has since misplaced, an antique metallic otorhinolaryngologist’s tool used for measuring ear canals. Fusaro has ballooned their scale, exalting the original object, a medical mold, to the level of fine art. The coloration of their surface is determined by batch mixes of polyester resin (clear, shiny), epoxy (dull, gray) and hardener (a deep blue tint). Each mixed batch has a short pot life, resulting in patch-work patterning after multiple applications overlapping layers. They are finely sanded, a practice that mimics how a carpenter might refine the surface of a chair, however their form hints at no clear or concise function given the change in scale and material." — WORKS PICTURED Nodules (N_5), 2026 19" x 8" x 8" Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam Nodules (N_1), 2026 24" x 6" x 6" Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam Nodules (N_2), 2026 14" x 8" x 8" Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam Nodules (N_3), 2026 20" x 10" x 10" Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam Nodules (N_4), 2026 35" x 4" x 4" Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam Nodules (N_6), 2026 30" x 10" x 10" Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam — NICK FUSARO (b. 1989) is based in Brooklyn, NY.

Unix time measures reality in non-leap seconds, accumulating without pause, a technical infrastructure that functions as our closest approximation of a universal now:a shared coordinate system where human perception and computational logic converge. Yet convergence does not constitute equivalence. The works assembled in this exhibition are computational, generative, or occupy both positions. Some execute continuously, producing output that exceeds any individual viewer's capacity for reception. Others investigate the ontological gap between what machines can generate and what humans can meaningfully attend to. All operate within the productive tension between infinite generativity and finite attention."

Nick Fusaro Foreman March 5 — April 12, 2026 Installation shots are available and online now at the Blade Study website, link in bio. Foreman is open today and all this weekend. — "Both panel pieces, "Foreman" and, "Whose Ghost?", are intentionally reminiscent of blueprints, strategic drawings traditionally used to lay out floor plans for homes and buildings. Blueprints shed the market value and maker’s hand associated with fine art prints, but still maintain a sense of mark-making and organization of space traditionally associated with composition. With this as his starting point, Fusaro layers collaged sheets of paper around his panels as an architect might lay out a bedroom, foyer, or hallway. The negative plywood spaces in the panels serve as interstices on an imagined plane, a site that is neither finished nor in progress. The same can be said of the sculptural houses that dot the walls and perch on a pedestal. They are not true structures. Cozy but inhospitable, offering no way in or out, they are proposals for impossibly modest buildings." — WORKS PICTURED Whose Ghost?, 2026 48" x 48" ( 122cm x 122cm ) Aluminum Roofing Paint, Graphite on paper, on panel Nodules (N_1), 2026 24" x 6" x 6" ( 71cm x 15cm x 15cm ) Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam Nodules (N_2), 2026 14" x 8" x 8" ( 35cm x 20cm x 20cm ) Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Insulation Foam — NICK FUSARO (b. 1989) is based in Brooklyn, NY.

THE NIGHT SHIFT: AN INTERVIEW WITH JIWOONG IN WHITEHOT MAGAZINE Colleen Dalusong interviews jiwoong for Whitehot Magazine, please find the link in our bio. — "Most of us do not choose what we remember of our childhood, but sometimes a trick of the light or a whiff of a familiar fragrance unexpectedly jolts us back into a nearly-forgotten memory. I may not remember my first day or school nor the majority of my birthdays; but I do remember the faint rumbling of the garage door signaling that my mom has come home from work, and I remember my dad's deep sighs whenever my little brother would make a mess in the kitchen. These are the kinds of everyday observations that form the foundation of jiwoong's practice, in which he transmutes evanescent yet seemingly-banal moments into unforgettable artworks." Colleen Dalusong — JIWOONG (b. 1985, Seoul) is a visual artist who works with photographic processes and installation to create sculptural works tied to embodied memory. He is based in New York City.

OPENING TONIGHT MARCH 5 Nick Fusaro Foreman March 5 — April 12, 2026 — Blade Study is proud to present Foreman, Nick Fusaro's second solo exhibition with the gallery. Fusaro has made a habit of drafting new artworks behind a character or archetype when ideating. In this instance, as the exhibition's title suggests, he has poised himself as The Foreman. The Foreman is an overseer. He doesn't design or create plans, he simply executes them. He is the figure at the helm of process, navigating projects from renderings to realities. Imagined in the shape of a clown, the character of The Foreman is featured prominently in a panel at the gallery's back wall, overseeing the exhibition like a construction site. His authority is subtly undercut by his choice of dress, and the delicate safety pin that tethers him to the wooden panel. His intention, ability, and capacity are in question, but nevertheless, for better or for worse, it's The Foreman who is in charge. Diligent and repeat visitors will notice a handful of references to his first show in 2024, Stretch Under Strain, where the conceptual artist explored the difficulty of ideation and historical baggage inherent to the creative process. In, Foreman, Fusaro has seemingly shed this anxiety while maintaining a sense of humor, this time proposing the process of making as a final product worthy of exhibition. — NICK FUSARO (b. 1989) is based in Brooklyn, NY.
