Get Off the Lawn

By Matthew Shen Goodman

There is refreshingly little curatorial handholding in Get Off the Lawn, a wonderfully haphazard group show at the young gallery, Parade Ground. The exhibition’s press release is the Irish folksong “The Ballad of Arthur McBride,” in which the narrator rejects the efforts of British military recruiters, and instead beats them up and steals their money.

L-R: Kellie Romany, “Just The Tip,” 2012, oil on canvas, 90 x 76”; Michael Bill Smith, “Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone,” 2011, acrylic, sparkly vinyl, glue, metal eyelets, upholstery tacks, 27 x 36”; Brian Hubble, “Untitled (No Man’s Land),” 2013, stone tiles acquired from the United Nations building, 9 x 116”; Michael Ellis, “Untitled,” 2013, oil on panel; 33 x 22”.
