With her inclusion in the Hammer Museum's Eden's Edge: Fifteen LA Artists, sculptor Liz Craft was crowned one of the most LA of LA artists. Admittedly, what this entails remains unclear, but you know it when you see it: well-made, entertaining, smart, and Hollywood distilled. For her second solo exhibition in New York, Craft exhibits five massive cubes made up of tangled and grossly enlarged limbs, like classical friezes and reliefs gone the way of Topanga Canyon. Their grotto-like interiors house curious tableaux — a cave of stalactites in one and others comprised of sentimental bric-a-brac, random hippy junk, and new-age paraphernalia. Like J. Paul Getty, who built a Grecian palace by the Pacific, Craft fuses classicalism with eclecticism, and traditional handiwork with the bizarre.
