    Anthony Meier Fine Arts: Joseph Havel.

    Comment by AB: A magical alchemistic transformation of fabric (mainly men's shirts) into stunning bronze sculptures. Also on the docket are a dozen conceptual interpretations of a circle. Definitely worth a visit.

    Comment by AB: Husband & wife photographers, Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb take a melancholy look at contemporary Rochester, New York, the one-time home of the greatest film and camera company in the world, Kodak (also the company that blew off digital and in so doing, blew itself up).
