Maimouna

Guerresi Inaugurating the new gallery is a selection of photos from the Italian/Senegalese Guerresi, whose studio scenes have a highly ritualized, almost theatrical aspect. The images in Light Bodies are less individual portraits of women than idealized renderings of high priestesses (or even saints, though the iconography is mostly Islamic). Colorful robes, chadors, and headdresses are elongated and enlarged, taking an almost architectural form; hats become minarets. Guerresi’s often-looming figures are like peaceful giants from myth, figures removed from our petty, earthly concerns. BRIAN MILLER Mariane Ibrahim Gallery, 608 Second Ave., 467-4927, marianeibrahim.com. 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Wed.-Fri. Noon-5 p.m. Sat. Ends May 1.
