Marcus Weber at Thomas Erben Gallery

A paper floats into the frame of a Krazy Kat cartoon, and Krazy questions the ‘kwee mokks’ all over it.  This scenario captivates one of Marcus Weber’s oddball characters, who are themselves unexpected and unexplained.  Though their unibrows suggest an adult seriousness, they avidly read the funnies, positioning their identity somewhere between adult and kid and tantalizingly out of reach.  (At Thomas Erben Gallery in Chelsea through May 19th).
