Rodney Graham is the artist behind this brightly colored lightbox titled ‘Sunday Sun, 1937,’ but who is the character hidden by the Technicolor funnies surrounded by gentile flowers on wallpaper and bedspread?  Male or female, kid or adult, this character maintains his/her private world of reading pleasure with an upturned paper.  (At 303 Gallery, Chelsea, through Dec 21st).
