Rave culture — its primordial Dionysian spirit of oneness decried as mind-numbingly repetitive or drug-induced — has languished outside the art world's alabaster walls for far too many years. But don't be surprised if you catch an occasional glow stick or dilated pupil at Andreas Gursky's new show at Matthew Marks Gallery. The en masse photographer tackles hordes of German club kids in these five new large-scale color photographs. As is ordinary with Gursky, viewers can marvel at the ultimate insignificance of the individual caught in the swell of humanity at large. But there's no underlying order here — just the deafening pulse: oonce... oonce... oonce... oonce...
