1. Thomas Demand
At 303 through December 22
After a research visit, Demand meticulously reconstructed and photographed the Nigerian embassy in Rome. In his studio.
2. Thomas Ruff
At David Zwirner through December 22
Best-known for aestheticizing Internet porn (blurred and enlarged, it looks anything but racy), Ruff gives wartime imagery a similar treatment.
3. Wolfgang Tillmans
At Andrea Rosen through November 24
Take some time with this one: Tillmans uses photographs to create a cerebral in-gallery experience, this time inspired by impulse and boundaries.
