So, new (old) plan, see all the galleries in Brooklyn. Started by wandering down under the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday. Several galleries were closed, some were not worth it, some I need to check out again. Klompching Gallery had the best show of the day. Maybe I'm biased, but this just opened, exhibition by Max de Esteban and Doug Fogelson made me smile and laugh. The Fogelsons were brightly colored well done, tight, multiple exposure photograms, that first attracted my attention, but the de Estebans were what yanked me in - visually. They are, about "technology and its impact on social engagement," according to the press release - sigh, yeah yeah. But visually they are complex photo assemblages of the inner workings our cellphones, Gameboys, whatever - in black, white and grisaille, according to the gallery again, "concerned with a reduction of three-dimensional objects into flattened graphic shapes." Visual Doritos - you look and look and munch and munch. Nice.
