TAUBA AUERBACH AND KEHINDE WILEY AT DEITCH PROJECTS, NEW YORK
James Kalm drifts into Soho to kick off the new season with a pair of highly anticipated exhibitions. Tauba Auerbach's HERE AND NOW/AND NOWHERE presents five bodies of work that are all related to the duality of space, the here, and, time, the now. Illusionistic paintings are contrasted with Auerglass, a custom made pipe organ. Kehinde Wiley explores the photographic medium with Black Light, a series of digitally manipulated photos that continues his studies of young black males. Using various lighting sources, decorative backgrounds, gestures and poses that relate to medieval religious iconography, Wiley creates images that balance precariously between Boys in the Hood and GQ Magazine.

Mildly decorative , and ultimately, back to the drawing nosed. Also Dietch p. Is precariously close to tenditiousness even perhaps, unimaginative in not ferreting out somethi g to startle. Which = a bugs a boo.
