CRITIC'S CHOICE Sublunary The title of this installation is a variant of sublunar, below the moon, i.e., earthly. In classical Greek astronomy it denotes the area between two orbiting bodies, a zone of flux where earth, air, water, and fire collide and combine, surrounded by the eternally changeless ether containing the sun and the other planets. Zoe Friedman explores the implications of an alarmingly enlarged, enormous full moon, a symbol of "ecological disarray" (even though we disequilibrated lunatic terrestrials have not technically caused the moon to crash down yet). Small framed graphite drawings (alienated/embracing lovers, the waxing/waning moon, a building afire, a foundering container ship) are mounted on walls adorned with a collaged landscape, and illuminated by a small rotating flashlight -- a kind of lighthouse beacon and caution signal. A video animation accompanies the installation. Sublunary runs through April 19 at MG Gallery (5532 Shattuck Ave., Oakland). www.MarboeGreenGallery.com
