You could spend a good deal of time
rocking in front of M Henry Jones, Robert Munn & Sara Cook's
Technicolor trip-hoppy 3-D photos, watching the image morph from
one thing (a cartoon blond bimbette with antennae) to another
(a bug-eyed alien!). The shows more self-conciously serious work
-A Coney Island roller coaster with its cascading car, an old
man politely tipping his hat seem ...the artists obligatory and
determined to display the technical accomplishment of their technique,
known as lenticular imaging. Far more entertaining were the Pee-wee's
Playhouse-esque tableaux of the show's fantasy pictures: in one,
a multi-eyeballed house in a thicket of wooded trees lols its
tongue out soggily when you step to the right. In another, a sad
eyed Yorkshire terrier wearing rediculous overalls stands guard
in front of a cheerful yet menacing farmhouse. One has to admire
the artist's restraint-how easy woud it have been to apply their
techniques to pornographic images? Not that they would need to.
Their crackerjack weirdness is capable of holding its own. Through
