More belly button

Weird art day today. Frankly, it's been a weird art week for me. Thought I'd cap it off with this lovely image by Jason Horowitz and a little review of his show at Curator's Office by Jessica Dawson.

You know those liposuction ads weighing down the back pages of this paper's Sunday magazine? Picture the "before" image as a fine color print stretching five feet wide and you've got a good idea of Jason Horowitz's work. The suite of photographs at Curator's Office posits human flesh as landscape; folds of skin stand in for rolling fields. Some exploit the unsettling, fleshy close-up: an outie bellybutton looks awfully embryonic when exploded to the size of my hand. Though I can't say you'll enjoy looking at them, the power of Horowitz's pictures is undeniable.

I think you know by now how much I love Jason's work.
