"Once again, ARTINFO has sent its intrepid staff into the streets of New York, charged with reviewing the art they saw in a single (sometimes run-on) sentence. (To see our One-Line Reviews as an illustrated slideshow, click here.)* Peter Campus, \u201Cnow and then,\u201D Bryce Wolkowitz, 505 West 24th Street, through December 22With recent time-altered videos of the Long Island shore welcoming visitors to the gallery and leading to a back room of historic works in which visitors become the videos' subjects, \u201Cnow and then\u201D presents the bookends of Campus's ceaselessly exploratory career, from inward-looking young artist to a reflective observer slowing down time in order to capture it and present it to his audience. \u2014Sara Roffino* Agnes Denes, \u201CSculptures of the Mind: 1968 to Now,\u201D 535 West 22nd Street, through January 19Alongside documents pertaining to her pioneering Land art practice, this mini-survey finds similar environmentalist concerns at work in Denes's sculptures \u2014 like her oh-so-1960s mirrored boxes in hot pink-tinted Plexiglass \u2014 though the darkly comic, solemn, and haunting disk of cremated remains  Human Dust  (1969) steals the show. \u2014Benjamin Sutton* Serban Ionescu, \u201CDemeter,\u201D Bridge Gallery, 98 Orchard Street, through December 15Taking its title from the boat that brought Dracula from Transylvania, Romanian-born, New York-based Serban Ionescu's \u201CDemeter\u201D references both the fictional monster and the actually monstrous Vlad Tepes in black and white paintings scrawled as if by Bram Stoker's mad Renfield, with impaled sculptural heads and an eerie film rounding out the vampiric nightmare. \u2014Allison Meier* Ricardo Mazal, \u201CKailash,\u201D Sundaram Tagore, 547 West 27th Street, through December 15With his liberal use of photography and the squeegeed swaths of paint that are hard to shake from the Richter brand, Mazal, whose latest series is inspired by the views of the holy mountain of Kailash in Tibet, has evidently joined the ranks of latter-day abstract expressionists eager to infuse the influence of music and religion into their work. \u2014Reid Singer* Seth Price, \u201CFolklore U.S.,\u201D Petzel Gallery, 456 W 18th Street, through December 22The white garments and large, soft, white envelopes that hang on Petzel Gallery's walls seem recognizable enough, save for the bank logos that have been sewn into the linings of all of the garments and that could be mistaken, at first glance, for popular repetitive logo designs like Louis Vuitton \u2014 except where we expect to see the familiar LVs and the status they represent, we find FDIC and UBS. \u2014Terri Ciccone * Ricardo Rendon, \u201COpen Works,\u201D Vicky David Gallery, 522 W 23rd Street, through January 12For his debut New York exhibition, Mexican artist Ricardo Rendon channels early Richard Serra and mature Joseph Beuys simultaneously by tacking large, perforated pieces of felt to the wall and letting the cutouts fall into piles on the ground, offering the viewer a window into his process. \u2014Julia Halperin* Ryan Turley, \u201CHi/Low,\u201D ArtBridge Drawing Room, 526 W 26th Street, through December 6A low-fi answer to the current trend toward grandiose room-filling art installations, Turley\u2019s oddball architecture of dirt flooring, prismatic diffraction, grating film strips, extension cords, handicap grab bars, and other miscellania invites you to walk barefoot (or, rather, in a pair of complementary socks) in this topsy turvy \u2014 yet strangely tranquil \u2014 immersive environment. \u2014Chloe Wyma* G\u00FCnther Uecker, Haunch of Venison, 550 West 21st Street, through December 21In his first NYC show since 1966, the ZERO Group founder explores political and religious tensions through his iconic canvases of twisted nails, hammered over religious text and deconstructed shapes such as the Star of David, while more recent works like floor-to-ceiling canvases peppered with black paint resemble shooting-range targets, and add a haunting new dimension of violence. \u2014Lori Fredrickson[content:advertisement-center]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
