A pot of gold in this new painting by Kerry James Marshall symbolizes good fortune but rests near a skeleton\u2019s arm, suggesting that someone\u2019s luck has run out.\u00a0 Such contrast is at the heart of the artist\u2019s new show, Exquisite Corpse, at Jack Shainman Gallery<\/a> in Chelsea. Titled after the Surrealist game invented in the 1920s, each of the exhibition\u2019s drawings and paintings are divided into three or four rectangular zones and appear to have been completed by separate individuals who had no knowledge of what was drawn or painted by the previous game participants.\u00a0 The conceit might seem humorous at first \u2013 Marshall winkingly signed his own name different ways and suggests that he\u2019s playing a game in this series.\u00a0 But operating with no knowledge of the past can have implications if the stakes are higher than a fun time with friends.\u00a0 Beauty ideals, a (disappearing) house, or a pot of gold are mirage-like, unstable symbols, offering food for thought about contemporary life and perceptions.\u00a0 (On view through Dec 23rd<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
