Diversity is the message in Zach Feuer Gallery’s ‘Jew York’ summer group show featuring artists of Jewish descent; one of the standout pieces is kinetic sculptor Jon Kessler’s creepy ‘Magnum Opus,’ a noisy box with a rotating iPad set to show distorted portraits of onlookers. Powered by a mechanical kid turning a crank, this mish mash of high-tech/low-tech and fakery repulses and amuses. (In Chelsea through July 26th).
