BLACK SQUIRREL SOCIETY

Mario Ybarrra, Jr,  an artist from Los Angeles had his first New York show last night at Lehmann Maupin LES.  It's a multi-media installation titled "The Black Squirrel Society." Upstairs,  there was a wooden toss game as well as a video of  the "Black Squirrel Society" dancers doing their squirrel dance.  Downstairs, while music was being played that was mixed specifically for the show, there were a variety of black squirrel action figures and paintings showing them in their different modes of life.  It's a fun, summer show and worth seeing. June 24- August 8
