A Sol Lewitt narrowly avoids a young girl’s projectile vomit, a mother struggles to interpret the severed head of Holofernes for her curious toddler, and a Morris Louis stain painting threatens to consume a giddy Brownie Troop. Elizabeth Tremante’s new paintings in TRIPS SLIP UPS are equally slapstick and melancholic. While unfettered children get the run of the museum, their mothers are preoccupied with how to explain (and whether to rationalize) the violence, hypocrisy and sexism in both historical and contemporary sculptures and paintings.
