The Stranger

Ben Beres's first big show of tiny-print, text-based etchings at Davidson Galleries only takes up half the gallery, but it would be a four-floor retrospective if Beres didn't work in near-microscopic scale. His plates are shaped, not rectangular, and each print is a singular color (mixed, not bottled) covered in a scrawl of words and teensy images. At the opening, Beres worked the room, proselytizing: "Prints are amazing. More people should be doing prints." His works spoke the same thing, even louder.
