, a mask reminiscent of one of the fairies in The Incredulity of Things (1956), and a romantic-nightmar costume that looks like the interior of a pina bianca and a small store with a refrigerator in the bottom floor. The last work in the show, A Contest, 2003, is the most poetic and disquieting, touching at the same time that it is most unsettling. The miniature room with a toy pirate on the floor has been painted and decorated with colorful geometric patterns, lending the room a tactile quality. The paint, which smacks of dried blood, suggests that the scene has been entered by a violent hand. The settings crescents, colored pebbles, and sequined twine echo the colors of the backgrounds, adding to the eerie sense of connection with the title. This scene is a tribute to its subjects: the work of painters who survived the Holocaust. It is also a protest against the past, when memory was a means of keeping alive and resisting the fall. The message is that all that was left to remember is love, care, and peace.

a pirate on a monowheel eating a banana painted in oil, is seen against a background of the naval crest. If this painting can be seen as a baroque portraiture, it also addresses the elephant in the room, the whale. In the second of two works in this series, Le Maison de Paris, the same painting is on a separate canvas. Here, Le Maison de Paris and Le Maison de Paris (Hairy Girl), respectively, are made of similar black acrylic-dipped acrylics: the former a tall, square canvas, the latter a rectangle. The latter is splattered with colored gels; the former has a painted patterned surface, while the latter has a wood grain patterned on the outside. In the third work in this series, the elephant in the middle is transformed into a grumpy-looking sea lion. More panoramic than the other paintings in the show, this painting shows the elephants head on a background of a newspaper-type image: the title of the painting gives the animal a Western name, which it uses for the first time in this painting. The title is also le monde (The world), which literally means the world of human beings.This painting was on display in a separate room, with paintings from the series Selected Essays on the Life and Times of Le Duc Sénémiennes, which was first shown in 1974. The paintings were organized according to the great elephant, Le Duc Sénémiennes, as seen in Le Papages (Peacock Sénémiennes), 1971, and again in other early-70s works of the group. The Elephant in the S.O.S., 1970, a canvas in the same size and style as the other works in this series, shares the same rectangular format and was originally exhibited in 1971 at the Center for Contemporary Art in New York. Le Papages and Selected Essays are executed in acrylic on canvas. The Elephant in the S.O.S.

a pirate on a monowheel eating a banana painted in oil. An Egyptian pyramid that has a leaden look has been stained yellow by a light. The banana, a metaphor for corruption, is a symbol of the human condition.What makes it so obvious? One cannot talk about Pablo Picasso; he was too beautiful to be art; Picassos work is too beautiful to be beautiful. As I have said before, a certain blue washes, say, were it not for the paint, the paint would look like wood. But it is also clear that Picasso did not paint to be beautiful. He painted to attract the eye. Picasso is just as self-conscious of his own painting as he is of his art. The painting is only a pretentious piece of pretentiousness, a nasty little trick. In Picassos work, the painting is nothing more than a pretentious piece of pretentiousness. Picasso has no interest in pretentiousness; he wants to be beautiful. He is not interested in his painting, however, in getting ugly. Like ugly people, he wants to be beautiful, he wants to be famous.And then Picassos painting as a decorative object is only one of many types of objects he has created to attract the eye. In the seventies Picasso had painted a bunch of colorful, decorative, grotesque sculptures, even decorative, and grotesque, but he was mainly interested in the grandeur of the being that adorned them. His paintings are more sophisticated than anyone else's. In this case his painting is less complicated than any simple picture. The paintings are like fancy store objects, shiny, rich, and shiny, and the paintings like fancy store objects, rich, and shiny. The decorative object is the same as the decorative object. The decorative object is something that a great man like Picasso must have given up for the sake of art. He sacrificed his painting to art, in order to be beautiful. And the beautiful is beautiful, in order to be a great man.

a pirate on a monowheel eating a banana painted in oil on a canvas. By capturing the uncanny in a meticulous pictorial artifact, as in a dainty paper cutout, this piece seemed to function as a signifier of the new order. In a short video made from the same sequence, the title is inscribed as simply A DANCE . . . and the image is shown in close-up detail. Such visualization of the strangeness of the everyday is a hallmark of Moulros work. Moulroso introduces his work into the realm of visual art with a haunting, a true-false series of images. One day, he says, in 1997, he got a call from a friend at a library, telling him that he could not find any art on the internet that was similar to the stuff on his paintings. Over the next few years, he developed a series of computer-generated landscapes, each consisting of a grid of grids of colorless black paint that were displayed in a grid. These grids seemed to be created out of nothing, the paintless seemingly to be deposited on the surface of the wall. After some months, the grids were torn off, replaced by grids of color-responsive markers that the artist had printed on the wall in a matrix. Some of the grids had a very distinctive diagonal pattern, and the colors of the markers made it seem as though the traces of the artists hand had been left behind. In the end, the patterns turned out to be the traces of the artist and his hand.The paintings shown here were made between 2004 and 2007. Each piece was divided into a rectangular section, and each canvas was divided into three sections. The walls of one room of the gallery were white; the tiles of the floor were green and black. At the center of one of the paintings, the light from a fluorescent light fixture was applied in a grid of white on a green ground, creating an almost spooky sense of ghosts and decay.

—a nice gag. The work made a welcome cameo appearance on a mini-DVD in which Mungo Paajar (the sound designer) edited a trailer for Pop. His intent, said the artist, was to present a vision of the future, rather than a preconceived future, and he and his collaborators take this philosophy to heart. It is Paajar who makes Paajars invention the centerpiece of this video, and his programming of the video reveals a deep concern for animation. The video takes as its starting point the middle of the cartoon pixilated front section of Pink Floyd and adds to it a floating, stylized pink shadow that echoes the warped screen surface. The illusionism of the art object seems like a prop for the film—a mad experiment in artificiality. In the beginning, the puppets seem to be dusting off the white panel, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that they are animated, and that the shadowy and flowing action on the surface is a movie screen projected from a camera. The end result is like seeing a game of 20th-century physics at work. The filmmakers loops, which are made up of short sequences of animation, reproduce the shifting shapes of the film frame, the changing distance of the animation, and the changing color of the light as well as the light of the screen. However, the puppets are not animators. Paajar turns the audience into puppeteers and further forces the viewer to engage with the image in an immersive way that does not always make sense but that keeps surprising the viewers with its insights.
