One of the most unusual pieces in the show is Flyin' bedstead, by San Francisco's Walter Bruszewski, a ceiling-hung stabile made of sheet metal, rods and wire. For this airy piece, hanging metal panels have been pierced with circles and brightly painted in various shades including orange, yellow and green.
Bruszewski's stabile has an insubstantial quality not often seen in the sculptural medium. - Michael Paglia (Westword)
