Bespoke Gallery has interesting shows. Non-Euclidean Zones, an installation project by Cameron Fuller, fits the bill. Relying mostly on masking tape, cardboard and India ink, Fuller “presents a full transformation of Bespoke Gallery’s physical space into a graphic two and three-dimensional urban environment” that both pleases the eye while challenging one’s perspective. This is the artist’s first solo show in New York.
