James Kalm visits the Hole Gallery’s exhibition, “Booby Trap,” a selection of figurative paintings. Featuring works by: Melissa Brown, Caroline Wells Chandler, Maja Djordjevic, Misaki Kawai, Anders Oinonen, Joakim Ojanen and Anja Salonen, these works all show an awareness (both conceptually and painterly) of the flattened pictorial space that, due to the ubiquitous presence of screens, has become an ideological position of perception. In a “bonus-round” stroll, we’ll check out Philadelphian artist Jeffrey Wright, who displays a selection of large format color photos documenting his cash stash, many with humorous back drops, cuddly pet portraits, or bizarre costumed selfies.
