BEATRIX POTTER: DRAWN TO NATURE

Through letters, photographs, watercolors and more, Drawn to Nature explores how beloved English author Beatrix Potter developed stories and characters.

Frist Center for Visual Arts — Upper-Level Galleries, 919 Broadway, 615-244-3340, fristartmuseum.org

TIFFANY CALVERT’S ADVERSARIAL NATURE

Tiffany Calvert works in the space between the ones and zeros of a preeminent algorithm, generating novel compositions by complicating the shallow, diagrammatic space of historical Dutch floral paintings. These “digital shift” works initially align with history, but — upon closer inspection — aberrances emerge: the uncanny valley of AI attempting to understand human-made art. April 22–June 3, Gratis. Tinney Contemporary, 237 Rep. John Lewis Way, 615-255-7816, tinneycontemporary.com
