Jason Rhoades Reviewed in The New York Times

The most memorable show in a while by this excessive slacker bricolagist and techno-installation provocateur picks up testosterone-charged themes and materials he has previously explored.

What he calls PeaRoeFoam consists of dried peas, salmon roe and packaging foam pellets. Among what sprawls through several rooms here are sculptures made of PeaRoeFoam and Ivory Snow detergent boxes.

There are also 1,000 Lego ''Creator'' boxes, each containing 1,000 Lego pieces, totaling one million pieces; five enlarged casts of a petrified camel toe bone found in Florida, which Mr. Rhoades purchased on eBay; various painted automobile tires from a previous installation by Mr. Rhoades; several beat-up donkey carts he acquired in Guadalajara, Mexico; a Honda 2003 XR50 motorcycle; chrome shelves; folding tables; 48 cans of Geisha tuna from Saudi Arabia; 600 small ceramic donkeys with donkey carts; a pile of 20 vintage footstools made from camel saddles; 5 life-size fiberglass casts of donkeys; and several of what Mr. Rhoades calls ''Mecca vulvas,'' which are aluminum casts he designed in the shape of the mount that holds the Black Stone to a corner of the Kaaba, or holy shrine, at Mecca.
