Matthew Day Jackson at Hauser & Wirth Gallery

Inspired by BODIES:  The Exhibition, Brooklyn artist Matthew Day Jackson created his own five-vitrine exploration of the human anatomy at Hauser & Wirth Gallery’s 18th Street space.  In the context of the larger show, which includes dramatic landscapes and references to astronauts and Hiroshima, the artist seems to wonder how one frail form could wield great power.  (Through Oct 19th)
