Henry Sanchez has included his own knock-out multimedia mural in Geo Loco, the five-artist group show of which he is curator at the digital arts venue and residency program Outpost Resources on the Queens/Brooklyn border on Ridgewood. The piece charts a walk along the Newtown Creek, a heavily-industrialized waterway where miraculously pockets of birdlife can still detected at unexpected junctures – their flight and song artfully caught on video. That the map comes magically to life through digital interventions and wirings seems a potent metaphor in itself of the post-picturesque that it charts. Geo Loco also features works by Phil Buehler, Carla Gannis, Eve Andree Laramee and Eto Otitigbe and runs through November 20, with a closing party the night before, Saturday, November 19, from 7 to 10 PM. 1665 Norman Street between Cypress and Wyckoff avenues, Queens, New York 718 599 2385
