The ArtQuilt Gallery — New York City’s only gallery focused on contemporary art quilts — is putting its current focus on Beth Carney. In the exhibit “CHAOS & CHASMS: A Rhythmic Journey,” the artist displays selections informed by her background as a dancer. “I work in an improvisational manner,” says Carney, “exploring line, shape, color and motion to create compositions that dance.”

At The ArtQuilt Gallery (133 W. 25th St., btw. Sixth & Seventh Aves.). Open Tues.-Sat., 11am-6pm and Sun./Mon. by appointment. “CHAOS” is on view through Sat., April 13. It’s followed by Deb Hyde’s “Sunshine and Shadow,” from April 30 through June 8. For info, call 212-807-945, visit artquiltgallerynyc.com or send an email to info@artquiltgallerynyc.com.
