WORTH, ALEXI-- THE NEW YORKER
GALLERIES--BROOKLYN
March 25, 2002
Review Blurb and Cartoon
Although Levy makes sculptures of herself, usually naked, often larger
than life and in odd places (two winters ago, on e of them was jutting
off a Chelsea warehouse roof for months), the work is surprisingly free
of exhibitionism. Instead, she seems to offer herself as an
example of various universal embarrassments. This time out, her
upper half, bundled for winter, busts through the roof of a garden
shed--actually, it's a mini gallery, Holland Tunnel--while her naked and
spotlit bottom half stands spread-legged in the warmth of the gallery
proper, for a comically literal take on the dilemma of the divided self.
(61 S. 3rd St., at Wythe Ave., Williamsburg. 718-387-2714. Through March
24.)
