“The Center Cannot Hold: Paintings and Drawings by Brooke Pickett.” Monumental in scale, Pickett’s works include ready-made, often broken objects – fans, pieces of fabrics, houseplants, old mattresses and electrical cords, which she arranges and photographs and abstracts in her oil-based paintings.

“Patterns and Prototypes: Tina Girouard and Robert Gordy,” through Sept. 25. These two Louisiana artists were pioneers in the freeform P&D movement that took the New York art world by storm in the mid-1970s through the 1980s.
