Opens Tonight, Oct 11, 6-8p:
“Commander in Chief”
Brian Tolle
CRG Gallery, 548 W22nd St., NYC
Each work in Tolle’s show focuses on one president and is numerically titled according to his place in the line of presidents: George Washington is “No. 1” (2012), Barack Obama is “No. 44” (2012). The sculptures usually feature the head of the president, cast from an appropriated presidential bust. In employing these heads, Tolle highlights the importance of each man’s thinking and political doctrine, and how these legacies are the continued responsibility of their successors. - thru Nov 10
