Following
up on her breakthrough at ATM last year, Bhabha's triple show is a tour de
force of archeology, form, memory, and post-apocalyptic dreams. Strange,
cobbled-together figures—part Egyptian, part Mesopotamian, part junkyard, and
part alien totem pole—stand like sentinels of history and golems of the
imagination. A lone pair of feet stands in for a millennium of lost
civilizations, passing time, and rediscovered sources. This don’t-miss outing
is a candidate for best show of the year. — Jerry Saltz
