Profile

All three floors of the museum have been given over to the outlandish New York–based Swiss installation artist who dug a giant hole in Gavin Brown’s gallery in 2007. Some sort of cityscape is promised for this show, complete with mirrors and giant monuments and lots of dazzling abstractions.

In Person

In case he hadn’t already demanded your attention: On October 29, Fischer will screen two films, one of which (at 7 p.m.) is Dana Ranga’s documentary Cosmonaut Polyakov, in which the titular Russian speaks openly about the KGB and being in exile.

Ree Morton

The Drawing Center

Jerry Saltz recommends: "Itâ€™s time to revisit the whimsy, wit, and relevance of Ree Morton, who died in a car accident in 1977, shortly before her 41st birthday. Morton combined conceptualism, postminimalism, magic, Americana, and kitsch with a feminist twist and a comedianâ€™s wit." More »
