Valentine's Day was last week, but maybe you just can't get the whole "love and romance" thing out of your head. If so, congrats, your life is probably going decently, unless you're plagued with thoughts of love and how it seems impossible to feel or achieve. However you're feeling, you can observe other people mash their faces together at trendy UES gallery Luxembourg & Dayan's latest show, Kiss Off, presented in collaboration with Italian curator Francesco Bonami. A varied spread of artwork from the near and nearer future, Kiss Off predictably is all about kisses and how they've been immortalized in paint, photographs, sculpture, and anything else. Expect to see meditations on lip-locking and more from notable names such as Willem de Kooning, Andy Warhol, Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Joan Miró, and more.
