Ray Beldner is money. In Counterfeit, his new show at Catherine Clark Gallery, he reveals just how many colors he can create with a stack of dollar bills and a pair of scissors. Come see his “forgeries” of modern masterpieces, each sculpted from cool cash: a sharp Barbara Kruger, a huge Jackson Pollock. Walking on top of a Carl Andre floor piece (covered in dollar bills, of course) feels strange, in part because it’s a work of art, but also because those bills belong in our pockets. Through June 1.
