Photos taken at the opening tonight of Jessica Ciocci's exhibition at Foxy Production, in Chelsea. Jessica is a member of the collaborative art group Paper Rad. The show has a bright, inviting feel, and is full in the sense of meaty, not busy--a series of patchwork grids line the walls, each composed of a single predominant medium: paintings, snapshot photos, yarn, sewn fabric... The installation breathes, and makes you forget you are in a white cube environment; it could be a school art fair or swap meet but with underlying organization that belies the casualness. With her knack for arranging objects in physical space and command of materials, Ciocci does a great job of scaling up the underground comix sensibility to fit the room.
