Li Wei at Galerie Richard

Li Wei flies through the air and walks on water in photos at Galerie Richard that appear to document gravity defying feats and even common sense.  Using mirrors (here, this technique is obvious), cranes and wires, the Beijing-based artist gives himself superpowers that other artists can only dream of.  (On view on the Lower East Side through March 11th).
