The downtown outpost of uptown gallery Salon 94 presents a blissed-out group show of work based on Zen Buddhist rock gardens. Contemporary artists Benjamin Valenza, Paula Hayes, Martha Friedman, Olaf Breuning, and others reinforce the idea of gardens as "mindscapes," conceptual as well as physical spaces for contemplation. The gallery is fresh off a re-look by Takeshi Miyakawa, who created a new entry from plexiglas boxes; Benjamin Valenza's sculptures riff on the philosopher's stone, while a white epoxy chandelier by Pae White (first exhibited at this year's Venice Biennale) hangs above the interior garden.
