Weekend Update
by Walter Robinson
At Kenny Schachter Contemporary on
Charles Lane in Greenwich Village is a new video installation
by Susan Smith-Pinelo, the Washington, D.C.-based artist
who has something of a reputation for a videotape in
which a girl, in close-up, jiggles her breasts in time
to a Michael Jackson song. Here, she's installed two
tape loops of a woman's gyrating lower half, clad in
Daisy Dukes, titled Asstronomical Porportions I and
II. In the gloomier back of the space is a video projection
of the torsos of several young men, their jeans riding
well below the tops of their undershorts. Upstairs are
some color photos of the same. The videos, in an edition
of three, are $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the number
in the edition; the photos are $3,000 each.
