Art professor Lucy Puls has work in several exhibitions that recently or will soon open from San Francisco to Cologne.

“Fundamental,” is a seven-artist exhibition designed around the atmosphere and spatial effect of the thick-walled windowless rooms of Kulturbunker Cologne-Mülheim in Cologne, Germany. The rooms provided a refuge for thousands of citizens during World War II bombing. Through Oct. 29.

Also in Cologne, Puls is showing in “portfolio vol 2” Nov. 25 – Jan. 7 at Schmidt und Schutte. The exhibition “Pulling Threads” at Root Division in San Francisco explores the lasting influence of the feminist movement on the next generation of female artists through their exploration of craft, domestic space, motherhood and the body. It runs Nov. 9 – 30 with an opening reception Nov. 12 from 7 – 10. The gallery is at 1131 Mission St.

“Liminal Lyrics,” shows work with “a quality of ambiguity and disorientation … in which boundaries of the physical body are broken up, a static image of the figure is lost and a new frame of reference left undefined.” It runs through Nov. 20, at Kunstraum in Brooklyn, New York.
