Reviews in Brief
Robin Rhode / Lehmann Maupin
Partnering with an organization that specializes in arts education for children from underserved communities, Rhode attached vinyl shapes to the gallery walls-small drawings of boats or paint-by-numbers figures-that the kids then colored in using giant crayons. The crayons are displayed in boxes on the floor, and the wall paintings begin about 20 inches above them, making the children's presence palpable. The result privileges process over product and serves as a reminder that social-practice work can be effective, endearing, and engaging all at once.
