Yesterday I also went to Metro Pictures where they were showing a group of new works by David Maljkovic. I liked one of his films, "Retired Forms", which sort of felt like a strange sci-fi movie but it was actually shot in a memorial park for victims of WWII in Zagreb, Croatia. Apparently the monument that is featured in the film had become neglected in the 1990s. Here is an installation view for now (I'm going to try to find film stills).

I stopped by the Charles Cowles Gallery where they were showing two of Edward Burtynsky's quarry photographs (see below). Jackie told us about these our meeting and they were both stunningly beautiful. Also more expensive, $16,500, but definitely worth checking out in person.

There was also one photograph by Henry Wessel in the show. I would suggest checking out some of his other photographs on the Charles Cowles Gallery website.
