Anthony Lister's newest installation, strewn with pop-culture tragedies and unfortunate vagabonds, erupts in New Image Art's white-walled gallery space. Hailing from Australia, where his work has been featured in the National Gallery, Lister showcases his street consciousness and sensationalist wit here. He addresses the flip side of glamour with piercing eyes, calling forth the ghost of Heath Ledger with the accompaniment of comically downtrodden superheroes and the dregs of everyday existence. Expressed in a series of washed-out masks, animated female forms, and cigarettes, Lister's sharp satirical vision is in top form.
