Brevity's Rainbow, a group show opening this Friday, 8 February, at Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn is an attempt to return a sense of intimacy to the spectacle of the art show. Curated by Maxwell Williams of Tokion, the show features over 70 artists interpreting "Lilliputian and the temporal, the specks of dust that make up the world, the fleeting moments of pleasure and pain."

The upshot is a vast collection of diminutive work, all under five inches by David Shrigley (above left), Deanne Cheuk, Keren Richter (above right), Rebecca Turbow, Gaelan Mckeown-Hickel, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Andrew Kuo, Lansing-Dreiden, Maya Hayuk, Kime Buzzeli and Art Lodge, among others. Williams hopes to create "a galaxy of tiny art, a prismatic assemblage of little moments: this is Brevity’s Rainbow." An after-party at Sound Fix follows the show.

See additional images and flyers for the show and after party after the jump.

Jonathan Schipper: Irreversibility
With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...

Plaztik Mag x Factory Fresh: Boxed In
by Ariston Anderson A prime example of the way global economic anxieties are already showing up in art is the group show "Boxed In," the latest presented by Plaztik Mag and Factory Fresh, in which artists created their cardboard dream home. Alison Corrie, best known for her gorgeous design work and delicate collages, built a beautiful gyspy caravan, inspired by those she saw on her...
Untethered
We're always fascinated when the surreal and the practical intersect.
