Apexart, 291 Church Street, TriBeCa, This show, organized by the curator Eugenie Tsai, presents five inventive art recyclers. Mariatta Ganapin makes densely patterned mandalas from tiny pieces punched from art reproductions; Devorah Sperber redoes Chuck Close using colored pipe-cleaners; Micahel Cloud makes gridded abstractions of old master still lifes; Anoka Faruqee incrementally replicates her own poured paintings using an asterisk mark; and Suzanne Bocanegra's whole-wall installation inventories "All the Petals From Jan Brughel the Elder's Sense of Smell" -Ken Johnson, June 20, 2003 |
