“You wouldn't know from the small nondescript sign out front that if you take the stairs up to this second-floor gallery, you're rewarded with a high-concept art exhibit in a small, clean space. The show, carefully curated and arranged by Rod Malin — a media specialist for Marian Goodman Gallery and the Bronx Museum of the Arts — presents works by eight artists in various media. Spend some time with Tristan Perich's 1-bit Symphony, an electronic composition in five movements on one microchip; Jamie O'Shea's video in which he creates a functioning telegraph in the wilderness; and Meredith Pingree's motorized sculpture Blue Curtain, which emits a delicate reactive sizzle that can be heard throughout the gallery. This show is well worth a stop. You may walk away reflecting on the peculiar paradoxes of the digital age, in which the irrational becomes rational.”

“Sanity Disobedience for a New Frontier,” is an exhibition that addresses the concept of technological assimilation in the digital age and its relationship to counter-cultural, anti-conformity assumptions. According to exhibition curator Rod Malin, the show explores the attitudinal space between Bas Jan Ader’s short conceptual film piece of 1970 “I’m Too Sad to Tell You,” in which the artist cries in front of a camera after a brief title, and Chris Crocker’s more recent YouTube phenomenon “Leave Britney Alone.”
