Evan Holloway at Paula Cooper Gallery

Battery-studded forms resembling swaying kelp make for an enchantingly weird sculpture by Evan Holloway at Paula Cooper Gallery in Chelsea. Behind, a modernist-looking looping sculpture is a huge support for a tiny burning stick of incense. Unusual and unexpected, Holloway’s new sculpture engages the eye and the mind. (On view through April 22nd).
