Ingar Krauss
March 19-25, 2003

In this impressive American debut, Krauss shows small black-and-white photos of pale, haunted-looking German boys and girls that are unsettling enough to recall the remorseless children of the damned. But there's also a strange beauty to his portraits, suggesting Balthus crossed with Sally Mann and Francesca Woodman: innocence and experience combined in one fragile vessel. Krauss underplays the artifice, but he still seems to have entered a dream world and brought these lovely, uncanny creatures along with him.
