15. See Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg

- A trip to the underworld.

Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, 521 West 21st Street, through December 20.

Enter Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg’s darkened garden of sensual and fantasy delights prepared to behold sculptures of birds inserting their beaks into beautiful open flowers as well as a handful of animated videos of all manner of sexual dreams, fears, and imagining. In short, colorfully fecund films, cavorting Claymation-style figures and puppets fight, seduce, trample, and abuse one another. The viewer is enrapt, coaxed in, and left hungering for more without ever gleaning any moral to it all. Let this boundaryle­ss world beckon to you. j.s.
