Does it matter if artists make their own work or act as managers in a studio? Arkansas-based artist Shea Hembrey not only makes a point of hand-making his own work, he’s invented five fictional artist/makers for a solo show at Chelsea’s Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. Here, ‘Pawnee Calhoun’ explores physics with a ‘super collider anomaly’ made from altered hornets nests. (Through Dec 13th).
