Casemore Kirkeby : Todd Hido - Intimate Distance
Comment by AB: Todd Hido's images never fail to draw you in, dare you to figure them out and solve their riddles. There's always a mystery, a backstory, something missing, something unclear... and that's the allure. Good show; go see.

Comment by AB: Bedrock is stable; landfill can be iffy. Kind of like the ups, downs and sideways-es artists experience during the course of their careers. As for the artists in this show, here's where they are today. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, we'll have to wait and see.
