Trained at the UW and today based in New York, Tim Roda incorporates himself, his wife, and his kids in most of the black-and-white photographs on display here. They’re mostly tableaux, ad-hoc stagings or recreations of what appear to be classical themes. His older son, about 10, stares back at the camera uncertainly. Is this how you want me to do it, dad? These scenes are like an amateur theatrical productions with plywood sets and cardboard swords. Costumes and props are tied or taped together; disarray spills out of the frame.Image and details after the jump…The images suggest both mad scientist’s workshop and a family game of charades. There’s a cheerful striving toward some sort of form that’s been lost in the process; and the results are both highly mannered and engagingly unkempt–fine art that makes you giggle.Greg Kucera Gallery, 212 Third Ave. S., 624-0770, gregkucera.com.
