Richard Rothman

Rothman is certainly not the first to discover the ironic humor of nature stranded in the manmade landscape, so his black-and-white photos of shrubs in and around New York come freighted with plenty of déjà vu. But Rothman's got a witty, deadpan take, and his bushes—freakish, stunted, bedraggled, sometimes huddled together as if for reassurance against concrete on all sides—have a pathetic appeal. Through 2/14. Serge Sorokko, 430 W Bway, 941-8888.
