TUESDAY-FRIDAY
VISUAL ART
Alessandro Gallo: Most of the Time
Alessandro Gallo’s clay sculptures are strange. There’s no denying this. A normal human body—in all its roundness, leanness, imperfections, behavioral dispositions—attached to a realistic animal head is like something pulled from the deepest recesses of the imagination. It’s a bit disconcerting, but also so satisfying. You may find yourself gravitating toward the hybrid you feel most embodies you—for me, it’s the flamingo woman sitting with her tote on the subway. The Italian-born, Montana-based artist will be showing new work at Abmeyer + Wood. Prepare to be amazed. JASMYNE KEIMIG
