CRITIC EVENT PICKS Neato Mellon Stick Monday, December 3 – Sunday, December 9 If there were a task suited only to an artist, surely it would be to create a process to dehydrate (and shellac) a mellon. A more useless, ridiculous task is difficult to imagine. A wall of text that refuses comprehension and a bevy of hanging, painted sticks are among the wonders on view at Tyler Luetkahans’ Neato Mellon Stick, in the Porch Gallery.

Show Peanuts Snow by Josh Doster, Cheryl Robinson and Amelia Salisbury Monday, December 10 – Sunday, December 16 A print exchange, a video installation, and collections of objects and works that promises to be delightful. Robinson’s keen installation eye, Salisbury’s sweet but loaded paintings and ephemeral collections, and Doster’s surprising investigations into the quirkier properties of materials promise to coalesce into a memorable visual experience.
