Three bold exhibitions fill this Canal Street gallery: Ken Lum's "The Yellow Man" confronts Asian stereotypes, Jane Swavely's "Strawberry Fields" blooms with painterly abstraction, and Stan VanDerBeek's "Micro Kosmos" projects experimental films. A concentrated dose of contemporary art worth the trip downtown.

Ken Lum's "Yellow Man" confronts racial stereotypes head-on, while Jane Swavely's "Strawberry Fields" blooms with lush painterly abstraction. Stan VanDerBeek's "Micro Kosmos" rounds out the trio with experimental film work that rewires how you see. Three distinct voices, one essential visit.
