Daniel Gordon in ‘Jew York,’ at Untitled Gallery

Brooklyn-based Daniel Gordon presents one of his signature photo collages at Untitled Gallery on the Lower East Side, a selection of apples and pears that update Cezanne’s twisted perspectives on fruit by adding multiple digital perspectives against contemporary but dated background textiles.  (Through July 26th).

Jon Kessler in ‘Jew York’ at Zach Feuer Gallery

Diversity is the message in Zach Feuer Gallery’s ‘Jew York’ summer group show featuring artists of Jewish descent; one of the standout pieces is kinetic sculptor Jon Kessler’s creepy ‘Magnum Opus,’ a noisy box with a rotating iPad set to show distorted portraits of onlookers.  Powered by a mechanical kid turning a crank, this mish mash of high-tech/low-tech and fakery repulses and amuses.  (In Chelsea through July 26th).
