Tyler Wood Gallery: Dan Starling - Costumes for the Chorus.

Comment by AB: Lively, engaging and well-made patchwork jumpsuits by Dan Starling are composed of specially selected bits and pieces cut from t-shirts, jerseys and other articles of clothing. All are themed on the concepts of "high" and "low." Also on display are black & white images done in the style of vintage Jeanloup Sieff photographs of Yves Saint Laurent fashions. Worth a visit.

Ever Gold Gallery: Adam Parker Smith - Seriously.

Comment by AB: New York artist Adam Parker Smith's satirical multimedia installation includes a set of wind chimes silenced by clay, a leaning mop, a ghostlike figure with a protruding penis, a photograph of what appear to be a pair of plastic legs dangling over the edge of a roof, and a wall of venetian blinds occasionally impaled with objects like a mirror ball, a loaf of bread, a toy ball, a squash, and more. All fun all the time. Go see.
