Red Grooms at Marlborough Gallery

Though New York artist Red Grooms created this gallery-filling installation replicating an alley near his downtown studio over twenty years ago – to bring some ‘quintessential New York funk’ to Marlborough Gallery’s London location – its shady hustle and bustle and maniacal truck driver still look contemporary. (At Marlborough Gallery’s Lower East Side location through March 23rd.)

Red Grooms, ‘The Alley,’ wood, foam, and mixed media, dimensions variable, 1984-5.
