Jose Parla at Mary Boone Gallery & Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

Once a street artist, now an artist inspired by the
histories of the built environment, Jose Parla adds layers of posters, grime
and brightly colored paint to faux fragments of wall currently on view at Bryce
Wolkowitz Gallery and Mary Boone Gallery. 
Considering that the block on which these galleries stand has been
largely rebuilt in the past several years, Parla’s treasuring of fragments from
the past has particular resonance. 
(Through Oct 31st).

Edward Burtynsky at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

From the largest pilgrimage towards water in the world (see the Kumbh Mela on left) to the petered out end of the rerouted Colorado River (next right) to the greening of the Arizona desert using pivot irrigation (next right), Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has spent the last few years documenting the human relationship to water around the world.  In turns alarming and alluring, the photos are a powerful catalyst for safeguarding one of our most precious resources.  (At Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery through Nov 2nd).
