Ryan McGinley on The High Line

Is Ryan McGinley’s huge figure falling or floating?  McGinley’s signature photos show young people living their lives with abandon.  Here, his ambiguity is unsettling, but the gorgeous blue color on drab, early-spring 10th Ave is alluring. (At 18th Street and 10th Ave, presented by High Line Art, through April 30th)

Matthew Fisher’s tidy waves look like carefully coiffured heads rising from the deeps and arranged in careful rows, like a school picture or choir rehearsal in the light of an apocalyptically weird sun.  (At Chelsea’s New York Center for Art and Media Studies through April 12th.)
