His disorienting light installation was the final scene of CH's Whitney Biennial 2006 video and now the New York-based artist Paul Chan's first German exhibition is opening this Friday, 27 October 2006. Part of an ongoing series called The 7 Lights, Paul will show 3rd Light (pictured right and here), which continues his use of shadow-like digital projections of falling common objects, like sunglasses, cards and people, and introduces a 3-dimensional replica of the table in The Last Supper. You can also catch his piece, 1st Light, currently at Philadelphia's Fabric Workshop and Museum through 18 November 2006.

For a photographer whose work is full of the best kind of contradictions—fiction and fact, banality and exoticism, sexuality and domesticity—the title "Filthy Gorgeous" is apt for John Arsenault's upcoming solo show.
