Rosalind Fox Solomon at Bruce Silverstein Gallery

This shot by Rosalind Fox Solomon comes across as simple enough at first…until you register that the caregiver is a crybaby, caring for a bunny and wearing a beard, defying expectations at every turn. The unexpected and odd dominate Fox Solomon’s selection of images from her archive, shot over three decades and around the world, now on view at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in Chelsea. (Through April 16th).

Penelope Umbrico at Bruce Silverstein Gallery

Penelope Umbrico continues to mine Flickr’s vast on-line archive of images for collage-like assemblages that gently and beautifully point out the homogeneity of our camera-driven visual culture. Her latest show – and first at Chelsea’s Bruce Silverstein Gallery – zeros in on photos that have been copyrighted by amateur photographers against the back wall. In the foreground, screen shots of images tagged ‘full moon’ run on a scroll on and on along the gallery floor. (Through Feb 20th).

Shinichi Maruyama at Bruce Silverstein Gallery

Technology makes Shinichi Maruyama’s ‘Nudes’ series modest; by layering thousands of frames together, the New York-based Japanese photographer diverts attention from the body to the motion of a dancer.  (At Bruce Silverstein Gallery through Dec 21st).
