"Hybrid Carnival for St. Exuperé #4,"

Karen Wilkin recently curated an exhibition at Wooster Art Space by an artist new to me, Phong Bui. He also runs a great arts publication (also new to me) called the Brooklyn Rail, and is sometimes known as the "Mayor of Williamsburg." His show was a really pleasurable surprise, a great mix of paintings, sculptures, and installation, which reminded me in parts of Calder, Klee, Schwitters, and Constructivism. Playful, but suggesting planetary/cosmic arrangements, primitive signs, maps, but maintaining that sort of spontaneity of expression.
