TRANSFORMER

Transformer, curated by Amy Moorfield, is one of the best summer shows I've seen at the Anderson since Steven High ran the gallery. It rocks! Feast is a collective of six collaborative artists: Terral Bolton, Terry Brown, Sherry Griffin, Stephanie Lundy, C.J. Hawn and Chris Norris. "Feast Hearts Mexico" is as much fun to look at as it probably was to create. The Mariachi band documented in the photographs makes me want to salsa. If Cindy Shermans's photos were this much fun to create I'd probably enjoy them more.

I wish Mark Newport were really a superheroe who happens to knit his own leotards. Richmond's obessive knitters and comic book collectors would likely find inspiration here. I did. Transformer also includes installations by McCallum & Tarry and Annie Schap and will be up through August 11.
