The eyes of the art world are on The Armory Show and its impressive roster of satellite art fairs, but let us take a moment to point out R. Nicholas Kuszyk's show at McCaig Welles Gallery in Williamsburg, which opens this weekend. We do this not only because one of the best street murals on our daily route was executed by Kuszyk on the wall of the Bedford Bagel Store, but also because his robotic theme seems especially fitting given the sudden ascendancy of robots to the L train command.
The show, called "Jammer Slammer: The Evalation," features work culled from the past decade of Kuszyk's inexhaustible robot obsession. The colorful paintings are notable for their playful celebration of workaday robot society, in which personified machines toil away at their Sisyphean jobs, with little hope of vacation time or even coffee breaks. In their labor we see reflected our own endless carousel of tasks, which often includes waiting on endless lines at The Bagel Store. It'll be a glorious day when can we get some robots to do that for us.
