Phoebe Greenberg @ hirshhorn — Washington DC
“Next Floor” til April 4
Phoebe Greenberg and/or the hirshhorn, got my junk up in a knot in a couple of different ways with this “exhibit”.
I’m not disgruntled because Next Floor won best Short Film at Cannes in 2008 (amoung numerous other awards). It is a well done, profound and compelling short film. But my first beef is that it is a film and film has its own numerous venues for display.
And it’s not the film’s content either. Portraying a bunch of privileged people gorging on all imaginable animals while the floor continuously falls out beneath them is an apt critique of our western ways, if not a very obvious one.

David Naylor @ Galerie B312
”to be all things” til Nov. 17
I don’t see the point, especially since this has been done. David Naylor is a conceptual artist apparently interested in form. (I’m guessing since the gallery’s write-up on the artist is in French and I don’t trust my translation.)

Fred Laforge @ Circa
”PROJET 45, XY der (21) t (21:21)” til Nov. 14
Is this work that is meant to shock or is it asking us to question the nature of monument?
