Conceived of by accident when a shirt used as a glue rag dried into an arresting form, Matt Johnson’s Wifebeater is as pedestrian and delicately ephemeral as a plastic bag in the wind.  At least on first glance.  A closer look reveals Johnson’s trademark twist of using unlikely materials to make his sculpture.  This t-shirt is made of bronze.  (At Chelsea’s 303 Gallery through Nov 17th.)
