London-based Brazilian artist Alexandre da Cunha’s cement-mixer turned art-object brings to mind ancient bells or a new archaeological find. Supported by a concrete square on a plinth on the concrete gallery floor, it points to the labor involved in art-making and exhibiting. (At the Lower East Side’s Simon Preston Gallery through August 4th).
