The identical that’s stated of Margaret Kilgallen, will be stated of Barry McGee: there is not sufficient written concerning the universe he has created, nurtured, reimagined all through his 30+ 12 months profession. So seeing The Nature Inside Me at Eighteen Gallery, the place Barry has proven earlier than, seems like second nature and natural. Because the gallery notes of the present, Barry makes “huge, unpredictable, and improvised natural, site-specific installations. He incorporates work, ceramics, drawings, books, crops, pictures, sculptures, and located objects into immersive exhibitions that sprout, develop, and circulate over the partitions, flooring, and ceilings of the exhibition area.” It feels contemporary because it channels and integrates the previous, current and future. —Evan Pricco
