Rachel Harrison at Greene Naftali Gallery

Rachel Harrison’s latest solo show at Greene Naftali Gallery seems to step away from the overt politics of her most recent shows, instead questioning the value and role of art (as presented in an imagined conversation between several famous artworks featured in a gallery handout). In this piece, what appears to be a bald eagle in a bandana is held at gunpoint, a symbol of power reduced to a captive state as the color of money dominates. (In Chelsea through Jun 17th).

Rachel Harrison, detail of Untabled (Title) 1694, wood, polystyrene, cement, acrylic, Krion, gymnastic rings, straps, toy gun, and bandana, overall dimensions variable, base: 48 x 48 x 48 inches. Form: 21 x 17 x 15 inches, 2017.
