Light In The Attic s new compilation spanning Leslie Winer s criminally slept-on career is near-perfect and a must-listen, says Bernie Brooks
I didn t know Light In The Attic was releasing
When I Hit You – You ll Feel It, a long overdue, career-spanning compilation of Leslie Winer s work, until this past Friday. My partner and I listened to it for the first time as we drove to Toledo, Ohio, the following day. Toledo – home to a minor-league baseball team called the Mud Hens, a good zoo, a great art museum in the tradition of corroded Rust Belt cities, and a glass factory – is neither far afield from our home base of Metro Detroit, nor is it a particularly glamorous destination, but this was the first time we d left our home city in probably 15 months.
3 Art Gallery Shows to See Right Now
“Nature Morte,” a still-life show featuring about 60 artists; Remy Jungerman’s painterly compositions of textiles and clay; and Florian Meisenberg’s abstract blobs and painted birds.

Through May 16. The Hole, 312 Bowery at Bleecker Street, Manhattan, (212) 466-1100, theholenyc.com.
For those who find art galleries interesting but intimidating, the Hole is an excellent place to test the waters. Especially now, when the gallery’s annual thematic group show traditionally a crowded over-the-top affair is in full cry, along with the fearless sensibility of its founder and guiding spirit, Kathy Grayson.
