“There is always a surface judgment that goes along with considering someone’s car, and somehow Andrew Bush proves in this series that some stereotypes are true. Some of his subjects are driving old beaters, others fancy cars or muscle cars — and as a viewer, you can’t help looking at the driver’s tattoo or muscle T with cigs rolled in the sleeve and thinking how perfectly he ‘fits’ in that Chevy Nova he’s driving.”

4. Ellen Driscoll: FASTFORWARDFOSSIL at Frederieke Taylor Gallery, through May 16

“Ellen Driscoll’s big sculpture in this show is worth the trip all by itself. She has built an entire ecosystem out of old plastic milk and water containers, and what she renders looks like the coast of California, with cliffs down to the water, oil rigs in the water, McMansions overturned by mud slides, and the general decay and stupidity of man’s systems. All out of plastic containers. Say no more about what we are doing to the environment — just check out what Driscoll could build out of our refuse.”
