Radcliffe Bailey at Jack Shainman Gallery

Crushed green glass spills from a crate like a magical substance while the color echoes in the painted palms behind a confident young man wielding a pool cue in this sculptural installation by Atlanta artist Radcliffe Bailey. Is there an alchemy in the game of pool for this player? (At Jack Shainman Gallery in Chelsea through June 11th.)
