This series of two- and three-dimensional variations on a kind of tool shed-dog house-shanty structure exploits our tendency to see dwellings as reflections of the person inhabiting them. A looming tar-covered contraption titled “Boogeyman,” for example, evokes a terror inside and teases our desire to let it loose. Closes 5/10.

Tue-Sat 11am to 6pm. 615 W 27th St, between Eleventh and Twelfth Aves (C,E to 23rd St) 212-206-6411 derekeller.com
