Deets: Joshua Vides has pulled Check Engine Light into New York City, transforming Morton Street Partners into a high-contrast mechanic’s workshop complete with painted foam tires, racing hoods, limited-edition acrylic tools and a fully customized limousine as its striking centerpiece.

Following the success of the Los Angeles debut, the NYC iteration deepens Vides’ exploration of car culture, craftsmanship, and consumer aspiration, all rendered in his signature black-and-white sketch style. The show, produced in collaboration with Cart Dept and No More Rulers, turns the gallery into a surreal garage where utility becomes art and the familiar becomes cartoonishly uncanny.

The exhibition is packed with programming, Vides engaged in a live conversation with renowned artist Eric Haze, moderated by multidisciplinary creative, Set Free. The artist is engaging in a live painting session today and much more.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Check Engine Light is now open at Morton Street Partners through May 6. This event is free and open to the public.
