nycartscene: Opens Tonight, Feb 23, 6-8p:”Portraits of An Escape” Adia MillettMixed Greens, 531 W26th St., NYCworks on paper, sculpture, and installation.Every piece in this exhibition is a portrait. Based on actual figures in Millett’s life—real and fictional, dead and alive—the structures are personified to convey dimension and complexity whether they are rendered in ink, collaged photographs, or wood. Textures, lines, layers, missing doors, and odd angles push the structures from the familiar into a make-believe space where physical and psychological perspectives are distorted. The architectural styles range from colonial to Japanese Modern to brick townhouses to straw huts, but rarely is the reference homogeneous. Instead, the styles collide, creating perplexing, yet confident facades. - thru Mar 24
