Seven Sinks
Andrea Meislin Gallery
Very peculiar piece from a photo gallery. This sculptural piece is a readymade with 7 sinks synchronized to play with sound. The table top is a photograph (that’s where the photo gallery part comes in play) of marble that will deteriorate over time. The sculpture takes up almost the entire footprint of the gallery. Check it out through February 28, 2015

10 Year Retrospective
PACE NYC
African American born in the Bronx. The work deals directly with race and it’s place in American Culture. The flag paintings are really cool. They are from very colorful african countries but have been stripped of their true colors. Very provocative and insightful work. Intense. Check it out.

Fergus McCaffery Gallery
Amazing set of sculptures that feel very “Brancusi” like. Especially the stair stepped wooded sculpture. The McCaffrey space is massive and allows a lot of nice spacing to showcase this beautiful work. Check it out.

Our Friend Fluid Metal
These sculptures created out of playground metal children’s spring rockers are loaded with metaphor and create a visual accumulation that resembles undersea coral. Removed from playgrounds all over the US because of their lead content, they take everyone of a certain age back to their childhood. Really fun and fun to be around sculptures. So glad that Gagosian Gallery now lets you photograph inside their buildings—this show is photo worthy! Check it out.
