Sodium Fox.
One of my favorite shows in the city right now is by Creative Time alum, Jeremy Blake. I was introduced to his work at a Creative Council party for the release of his Winchester Redux DVD.
Blake's Sodium Fox at Feigen Contemporary has rocked my world everytime I've seen it. A happily overwhelming collection of drawings, paintings, and c-prints in the front room of the gallery can't begin to prepare the senses for the astonishing video in the second room. The video is a collaboration with poet and musician David Berman. The duo stick their hands into the pop culture cake, and pull out gifts that are both sad and beautiful. More than anything, the piece just feels mystified. Yes, mystified. Something like, "Where are my hands, and why am I holding this gun?"
