We saw two shows worth recommending in Chelsea today, before heading to the Paper Rad opening -- which is definitely recommended!

The first is Paper Chase at Axel Raben, curated by Renee Riccardo. Jon Rosenbaum's little paper sculptures are magnificent, as are many other works in the show.

The second is Joseph Maida at Wallspace. We realized after looking at his web site that we had seen one of his park images in a group show at the gallery. Also, he did the photo of Christian Holstad that appeared in the New York Times Magazine last October.
