. . . we first ran into NATHAN CARTER at the opening of a brilliantly creative collaborative show he did with the FINAL RUN INS, himself, MATTHEW RONAY and BEN BRANTLEY – a re-creation – actually more a paper re-imaging of a HONG KONG RESTAURANT !!
see: PIX from the opening/YIN YANG SUMMER of 2007

It’s easy to see from this current show – how important he was to that free wheeling and light handed installation !! The show also received a very positive review by Roberta Smith in that now, infamous SEPT 26, 2008 – NEW YORK TIMES – FRIDAY WEEKEND ARTS – Section. Here’s a view of the installation from the CASEY KAPLAN GALLERY website:
