Kenji Fujita’s amusing wall-hanging constructions suggest the clumsily protective quality of the inside of a hard hat or a hockey goalie’s padded gear.
Jury-rigged with sandwiched sheets of jigsawed wood and discontinuous lengths of wide rubber tubing, “Ideopath” derives its humor from a series of small yellow pieces of wood covered with neatly screwed-down aluminum shields. The effect is of an absurd series of little bolsters (the rubber pad-like wooden elements) protecting absolutely nothing at all.
Fujita manages to ring enough little personality changes on this basic idea to allow four of these pieces to make a satisfying show.
The gallery has also extended its previously reviewed exhibit of John McLaughlin’s paintings from the ‘50s. (Daniel Weinberg Gallery, 619 N. Almont Drive, to Aug. 22.)
