Artists Anonymous: I Hate the World and the World Hates Me

Cueto Project

The Berlin-based collective relentlessly undermines expectations with alternately dark and playful results. Paintings in negative colors are photographed and shown with their (double-nagative?) reproductions. Mythic figures and deities stand with pop culture characters, clusters of media imagery overwhelm abstract compositions. Room-sized installations awkwardly support two-dimensional paintings. A seductive spirit of defiance runs throughout. Closes 4/26.

Tue-Sat 10am-6pm. 551 W 21st St, between Tenth Ave and West St 212-229-2221, cuetoproject.com
