It's a jungle in there!

You've probably missed the Wendy Osserman Dance Company--amiable and talented performers--exploring and responding to conceptual artist Federico Uribe's HUMAN NATURE exhibition at Chelsea Art Museum (August 2). But you can still see this exhibition now through August 18 and perhaps visualize some jungle-y dancing of your own amid the gallery of sculptures of wild flora, fauna, landscape and weather conditions, all imaginatively constructed from pieces of PUMA footwear. The show is irresistible and fun but tense and cautionary, too. That prowling panther has a stuffed toy monkey dangling from its jaws dripping blood made of red laces, but Uribe fully implicates humans--with our devastating effect on the environment--in that red-in-tooth-and-claw business.
