Known for her 3-D printed human figures, Karin Sander’s ‘Kitchen Pieces’ first offer a puzzle – is the fruit real or meticulously made? Sander isn’t beating Zeuxis, the ancient Greek artist who painted grapes so believably that the birds tried to eat them. The grapes and other fruit and veg attached to the wall with specially made nails are real. The process of searching for evidence of this –which is surprisingly difficult to discern – is the takeaway. (On view at Carolina Nitsch through April.)
