David M. Stein's first solo show of improbable objects should provoke double takes, plus a chuckle or two. In The Unlikely Library, shelves of books line the gallery walls, teasing the viewer with titles like Etymology for the MTV Generation, Utopias That Worked, and May '68 Riots for Dummies. Stein juxtaposes real books with his faux creations, and asks that visitors don white gloves and browse to determine each volume's authenticity. In the center of the gallery lies Semesterville, a miniature city built from architectural models discarded by students of the California College of the Arts. The effect is that of a balsa-wood shantytown of as-yet-unrealized visions.
