His work was recently on view in Gallery Weekend Chicago: EXPANDED at Mana Contemporary, Chicago; as well as at the gallery's pop-up exhibition in New York's Lower East Side for Armory Week 2017, during which Fernandes debuted a new performance piece, Clean Labor. His touring solo exhibition Lost Bodies, organized by the Agnes Etherton Arts Center, Queens University, Kingston, ON, was on view at the Textile Museum of Canada, Toronto, ON through March 19. Upcoming projects include The Language of Objects, UB Art Galleries, Buffalo University, New York, (opens April 22); Lesson 0, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea (opens March 31); a residency at Recess Art, New York (summer 2017); a solo exhibition at Aljira Center for Contemporary Art, Newark, NJ (2017); and That I am Reading Backwards and Into for Purpose, Whitney ISP Curatorial Show, The Kitchen, New York (2017).
