If you're visiting the LES, the Joy Episalla exhibition at Tibor de Nagy Gallery (up through Aug.5) is well-worth a stop, both for its tour-de-force technique and evocative images. Made on huge sheets of photo paper with camera-less darkroom photography that manipulates through the development process, as well as stressing the paper post-developing via burning, scratching and cracking, the artist creates dreamy abstractions that take the viewer on internal and external journeys. This work expresses, as the artist says, "a pliant forward-motion of articulation and re-articulation, of what the future holds, and holding within it, its future." Also in the show is a mammoth photo sheet folded and leaning against the wall as it spills on to the floor pushing into our space, perhaps transforming Time into a physical structure of cascading movement. Thank you, Andrew Arnot, for hosting this show.
