Perhaps the perception is different in person, but Pard Morrison's work brings to mind a spin on the old "My kid could make that" criticism of modern art. In fact, his work looks remarkably similar to larger versions of things most people have made as kids--accidentally--with unsolved Rubik's Cubes and Lego walls made of randomly selected colors. Morrison's Non-Fiction exhibit is ongoing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays through October 9 at Marty Walker Gallery, 2135 Farrington St. Call 214-749-0067.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Sept. 21. Continues through Oct. 9, 2010
