from the VILLAGE VOICE (17 July 2007) http://www.villagevoice.com/art/0729,baker,77232,13.html 'Promised Land' John Salvest's large illuminated sign with a flashing arrow pointing heavenward and vinyl letters spelling out the show's title kicks off your perambulation down some of America's weirder backroads. Charles Browning's painting Who Put Pee-Pee in My Coke? tweaks colonial history with a scene of Chinese men and women (and one rascally baby) in founding fathers garb. Genuinely unsettling is David Kennedy-Cutler's naked tree branch hung with a tattered Confederate flag fabricated from used bubblegum‹like a flayed carcass, it's as ugly and abject as the thought of flying a symbol of treason, oppression, and hatred atop Southern statehouses. Morgan Lehman, 317 Tenth Avenue, 212-268-6699. Through August 4. |
