Fatal Attraction: Piotr Ukla?ski Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be the first survey of this provocative artist's photography. Known for working in a wide variety of media including installation, fiber art, resin paintings, and collage, Ukla?ski (born 1968) invests overlooked and exhausted styles with new meanings. This Polish-born, New York-based artist similarly explores cliched or obsolete photographic languages. Nearly half of the works on display in the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition will be from The Joy of Photography (1997-2007), the artist's seminal yet under-known series, in which he adopted the hackneyed subjects and styles of Eastman Kodak's 1979 how-to book for amateur photographers to create a rapturous ode to the medium, both ironic and sincere.

Theater for the New City, 155 First Ave (East Village), will present the work tonight, March 5 to 22, directed by the author.

This February, Velocity returns on its cross-country road trip to open the garage doors and lift the hoods of four-wheeled treasures that have had a profound effect on American culture.
