'American Beauty'

Look, it's not the first time we've said it, but this is his first solo in two years and you need to not miss it: Seattle's Scott Fife is a magical man. Using only gray cardboard, nails, drippy honey-colored wood glue, and pink pencils, Fife builds up (and simultaneously, figuratively, pulls down to life) the weightiest of cultural icons (Geronimo, Elvis, Brigitte Bardot, a T. rex). Not many artists are left who can truly re-present the hopelessly overrepresented. (Platform Gallery, 114 Third Ave S, 323-2808. 6–8 pm, free.)
