Allan McCollum & Andrea Zittel at Petzel Gallery

In the latest iteration of a project started in the early 80s, Allan McCollum has invited Joshua Tree, California based artist Andrea Zittel to collaborate on a show of his ‘plaster surrogates,’ or plaster casts that stand in for paintings.  Here, Zittel sketches out a rough landscape of hills and desert colors in an avant-garde twist on landscape painting.   (At Pezel Gallery in Chelsea through Oct 5th).

Dana Hoey at Petzel

Dana Hoey’s photographed cast of her own head looks so lifelike (despite being chipped and mottled), it’s eerie.  Why not just display the cast?  In the photo, the head is perfectly lit to suggest the raking light of a sunset and framed to force a reckoning with the ageless figure.  (At Petzel through March 30th).
