Having It All

Sarah Anne Johnson's exhibit at Julie Saul gallery has a little bit of everything: photography (both realistic and staged), sculpture, and drawings. On top of that, this show, entitled "The Galapagos Project," has a serious premise that's executed in a whimsical and playful way. Johnson looks at individuals trying to live an ideal symbiotic relationship with the environment. Guess what? The fantasy, illustrated by dolls, looks like Eden, while the reality, represented by photo-journalistic images of an agricultural rehabilitation mission, looks nasty. (Images via Julie Saul Gallery)
