AFTER COLOR



Nine contemporary artists who work with black-and-white photography and photo-based imagery. Their styles vary radically, but they all have a conceptual bent and very little interest in traditional photography. Some of the most interesting work—Talia Chetrit's hard-edged, computer-generated geometries; Matthew Camber's expressionist chalkboards; Arthur Ou's violently splattered seascapes—flirts with or actively engages abstraction. Stephen Gill's witty still-life studies mine the sculptural potential of discarded betting slips, and Adrien Missika, shooting the Grand Canyon through a tourist telescope, discovers ghostly new planets suspended in the void. Through Aug. 21. (Bose Pacia, 508 W. 26th St. 212-989-7074.)
