Jim Campbell at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

San Francisco-based artist Jim Campbell works with sophisticated technology to make low-res images that offer a fragment of the information we’re used to in the HD age; yet images like this one of a yellow cab whizzing by hold viewers’ attention by capturing the recognizable action of the street. (At Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery through April 19th. Also at the Museum of the Moving Image in Long Island City through June 15th.)

Mariano Sardon at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

Mariano Sardon not only gives us portraits, he tells us how we look at them.  The Buenos Aires-based Argentinian artist shows a picture of a face to viewers while a camera records their eye movements.  The information from many viewers is then mapped onto the face, which is drawn before our eyes following the sequences of the gazes.  (At Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in Chelsea through Dec 21st).

JR & José Parlá at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

Cartagena, Spain, Shanghai, LA and Havana have hosted globe-trotting street artist JR and his ‘The Wrinkles of the City’ project, for which he interviews and photographs senior citizens, then blows up their images and applies them with glue to the city’s walls.  Chelsea’s Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery showcases the monumental Havana photos and an entertaining video through July 12th.

JR and Jose Parla outside Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

I’ve been looking forward to globe-trotting street artist JR’s opening at Chelsea’s Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery next Tuesday, so spotting the artist and Jose Parla as they created this wall mural last Saturday on the gallery exterior was a treat.  For their collaborative project, JR and Parla photographed and interviewed seniors including this stately woman.  (‘The Wrinkles of the City’ opens May 7 and runs through July 12).
