As printed in the New Yorker:
DAVIS, CHERUBINI
Is it ever a compliment to describe a work of art as “drab”? Not really, but every rule has its exception, and, in this case, these jubilant homespun ceramic-and-wood sculptures—a collaboration between Taylor Davis and Nicole Cherubini—are it. Amorphous, putty-colored slabs of clay are mounted onto wooden bases and hung on the wall; freestanding square ceramics punctured with holes (rolled posters are casually stuck in them) are the color of burnt toast. There are a few snazzy grace notes: crumpled forms glazed in red, white, and blue suggest an ersatz French flag, and a rectangular pink box appears to split the surface of a log. The over-all mood suggests a punk-rock George Ohr. Through May 14.
