I think tomorrow is the last day to see Sojourner Truth's installation at Katharine Mulherin. I dunno how to distinguish between the gallery's two spaces, but it's the one that's further east. I really really liked the show. The artist's statement described a dream in which animals were sucking up the colours from pieces of plastic and other detritus, and pooping them out as paints. The installation is a kind of joyful immersive mandella with flowers and medals and other bits and bobs all made out of cardboard and paper and sticks and stones painted with glitter with antlers and other animal part artifacts thrown in. Sounds like a kids craft project, and it sort of was, but pulled off with a Fastwurms-esque confidence and great attention to detail and materials. If you are in the neighbourhood, check it out before it closes. I'd love to post a picture but the images at the gallery website are awful and really don't do it justice. Maybe we'll track down the artist and get some good pics up at a later date.
