Marco Maggi @ Hosfelt Gallery

David M. Roth, Square Cylinder, June 12, 2014

There's a delicious irony in finding barely readable drawings in a room whose sheer scale often holds out the promise of something lapel-grabbing.  Credit the "code switch," if you will, to the Uruguayan artist Marco Maggi.  In West vs. East, a title suggestive of dueling philosophical systems, Maggi, in his sixth show here, defies the expectations raised by the environment in which his work appears.
