David Benjamin Sherry at Salon94 and Danziger Gallery

Young LA-based artist David Benjamin Sherry made his name with eco-conscious photos that alter the landscape of the American west. Here, he collages several photos together making a quilt-like pattern of stones that resembles a Playdoh sculpture or a well-intentioned but garish re-do of nature. (At Salon94 on the Lower East Side and Danziger Gallery in Chelsea through Oct 25th).

Allan McCollum & Andrea Zittel at Petzel Gallery

In the latest iteration of a project started in the early 80s, Allan McCollum has invited Joshua Tree, California based artist Andrea Zittel to collaborate on a show of his ‘plaster surrogates,’ or plaster casts that stand in for paintings.  Here, Zittel sketches out a rough landscape of hills and desert colors in an avant-garde twist on landscape painting.   (At Pezel Gallery in Chelsea through Oct 5th).
