But Why George? GEORGE CONDO @ New Museum

Two weeks ago, I went to go see the infamous Mental States by George Condo, and I was blown away by SUPERB COLORS, and DARK HUMOR in all his works from the sculptures to the paintings.

PREYGROUNDS @ 3rd Ward

Now Carrie Shaltz and Zach Hyman's journey is coming to a thrilling conclusion with PREYGROUND, a multimedia Gallery Show at 3rd Ward showcasing their never-before-seen work.

PREYGROUND is a lush exploration of our natural, “wild” selves in a society that suppresses that exact behavior. Nude, masked, and with zero inhibitions, Carrie and Zach explore natural and man-made landscapes in striking, stylish tableaus that juxtapose animal physicality with the everyday.
