Headless animals wander in and out of a bamboo cage-like structure while a giant deity collapses into pieces in Chinese-French artist Huang Yong Ping’s latest installation at Barbara Gladstone’s 21st Street gallery.  The piece feels a little too eerie and apocalyptic for its cynical title, ‘Circus.’ (through Jan 19th.)
