Hayley Tompkins in ‘Walks and displacements’ at Andrew Kreps Gallery

Hayley Tompkins’ picture pails are loosely reminiscent of looking down at one’s distorted reflection in a pool of water; they’re like a quieter, low tech version of Tony Oursler’s talking heads projected on objects; folded into plastic bags and put in pails, they could be refuse waiting to be taken out. Whatever motivated them, they’re made to be moved – a body-less companion waiting to go for a walk. (At Andrew Kreps Gallery through Dec 19th.)

Ruth Root at Andrew Kreps Gallery

Using paint, fabric and Plexiglas, New York artist Ruth Root paints and sews her way toward charmingly idiosyncratic understandings of what abstract painting can be in her latest show at Chelsea’s Andrew Krep Gallery. (Through August 14th).

Roe Ethridge at Andrew Kreps Gallery

For his latest series, ‘Sacrifice Your Body,’ New York based photographer Roe Ethridge took a trip to his mom’s hometown in Belgrade, Florida, gathering images that loosely suggest a relationship between mother and son. Here, a phone off the hook suggests a receiver dropped in surprise. (At Chelsea’s Andrew Kreps Gallery through March 29th).
