Philadelphia native Karen Kilimnik's first American survey presents more than 100 paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, installations, and rarely seen video works fusing a range of high- and low-brow references, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and George Stubbs' equestrian sketches to Charles Manson's twisted family values. Viewers can follow the development of the artist's installation aesthetic: earlier scatter works sit aside a site-specific red chamber that's part Uffizi Gallery and part English-manor drawing room, complementing an off-site installation at the historic Powel House. Most fun, however, are stylized images of pouting beauties — think Kate Moss, Isabel Adjani, and Bananarama — that, prefiguring Elizabeth Peyton's quixotic portraiture, often substitute for Kilimnik's ego-ideal.
