Jennifer Steinkamp at Lehmann Maupin Gallery

A field of fruit appears perfect until it begins to move and collide, revealing soft surfaces that bespeak rot below a flawless exterior.  Titled Impeach I, this animation by Jennifer Steinkamp began life as an LA billboard and now exists as a selection of constantly moving, morphing and reforming fruit.  (On view at Lehmann Maupin Gallery’s 22nd Street Chelsea location through April 13th).
