Two thru the 13th

Ryan Trecartin at Elizabeth Dee Gallery.

"The debut of Ryan Trecartin's new video, ''I-Be Area,'' is the best thing that could have happened to the New York fall art season. Almost any slice of its 100-minute running time radiates more new-feeling energy than a dozen shows in the surrounding blocks. Painting, sculpture, installation, performance -- ''I-Be Area'' has it all, as well as language: a fictional but real language of murderous non sequiturs buried in sitcom teenage prattle. " New York Times Review.

and T.J. Wilcox at Metro Pictures.

"T. J. Wilcox's short films weave cinematic, personal and historical material into uniformly grainy, flea-market documentaries. (Mr. Wilcox films in Super-8 from a television monitor, transferring the footage to digital video for editing and finally to 16 millimeter for projection). In his third solo at the gallery, his films range from shallow glamour shots to a dreamlike re-enactment of a powerful childhood experience." New York Times Review.
