Olaf Breuning

The Life

Metro Pictures

Great show of really internety type of photo-shoppy mashable image making by Olaf Breuning. The imagery is slightly tweaked things you’ve seen before, but the way they are put together with minimal artifice is really interesting—nice timeless quality to the work. Also a very interesting spherical format that the images are contained in. They rest against flimsy wooden frames that feels fleeting like something you’d see on the internet. This guy gets it. Check it out through July 31, 2015.

Galerie LeLong has work by Ursula von Rydingsvard. She produces massive sculptures that look like bulbous, withered, inverted tree trunks made out of Cedar. She has outdoor pieces at Storm King that are amazing in their scale. It wíll be nice to see smaller more intimate pieces. Magnan Metz gallery has a room filled installation (love this stuff) that contains an inverted buck, antlers down. Check it out.
