Zoe Leonard at Dia at the Hispanic Society of America, 613 W 155th St
subtly engaging, quiet but enrapturing, 400 year old maps never had so much to say
Pier Manzoni at Gagosian, 555 W 24th St
unbelievably prescient body of work and all before death at 29, see how Larry reacts when you stand on the pedestal that magically makes you into a work of art
Candice Breitz at Yvon Lambert, 550 W 21st
air tight in production and presentation making Meryl and Jack (and Candice?) totally schizophrenic, so, who do we believe?
Hank Willis Thomas at Jack Shainman, 513 W 20th
refreshingly open media approach to race and identity issues, could read as one-off's or as multi-perspectival (your choice) sharp but doesn't preach (mostly)
Regift at Swiss Institute Contemporary Art, 495 Broadway, 3rd Floor
despite a somewhat glossed treatment of the theme, go get a Mike Kelley iron-on (what a story!), peak into Sophie Calle's personal life (some more) and take home a matchbook (really! it even says, "NO SMOKING")
