(Artistic interest inspired by the phenomenon known as synesthesia, a condition in which one type of sensory stimulation evokes the sensation of another, can be traced as far back as the seventeenth century. For contemporary audiovisual artists, the possibilities inspired by this phenomenon have expanded with the advent of recent digital technologies that translate all electronic media, whether sounds or moving images, into the zeros and ones of computer bits.) at Eyebeam, 540 West 21rst Street, panel discussion followed by reception at 6 pm

"What matters for the journey which this series chronicles, is not arriving at some final Beatific Vision but the more earthly, carnal dreams and visions to be glimpsed along the way". Professor Stuart Hall, Chris Ofili in Paradise: Dreaming in Afro, Within Reach, 2003. Afro Lunar Lovers II, 2005 is the second in a series of three prints by Chris Ofili in red, black and green and continues the cyclical love story which began with his exhibition Freedom One Day in London in 2002 and continued with within reach at the 50th Venice Biennale, 2003. The paintings, works on paper and prints with their restricted red-black-green palette, are all part of an ongoing body of work which sees the Afro Lovers emerging in each new "scene" from an episodic and incomplete narrative journey. Afro Lunar Lovers II is set in the powerful, ancient landscape of Egypt. Standing before the pyramids at night the couple now occupy adifferent time and are further into their journey through paradise. The snake which was present but not visible in the earlier print now appears as two entwined serpents. Whilst it before could be sensed as a threatening presence they now represent a more benign force of guardianship, binding and holding the couple together as their tangled limbs gradually merge into a single form. Afro Lunar Lovers II, 2005 will be pre-sold from May 24 and will be available from mid July. Advance reservations can be placed via the web. The print will be available to view at the Victoria Miro Gallery from Tuesday 7 June. http://www.victoria-miro.com/afrolunarloversII/

Next Month and Beyond

June 9 (Attention All Necrophiles)

• Photographer Elizabeth Heyert creates post-mortem portrait in her new series of the travelers on view at that when hooped Cabaret the Travelers and exhibition of 30 post-mortem portraits by photographer Elizabeth Heyert . Shot in a Harlem funeral parlor, the nearly life-size color photographs evolved from her fascination with the practice of some members of the Harlem community, people with traditional ties to their church and to their Southern roots, of elaborately dressing in corpses for burial. No matter the circumstances of their life, or death, the departed are, in one undertakers words, "going to the party," -jubilantly dressed in its satin dresses, white suits, tuxedoes, and magnificent hats, for their journey to paradise . Mesmerized by this gorgeous preparation ritual for greeting life after death, hear embarked on a project to photograph the beautifully coiffed and adorned bodies as if she were making formal portraits of living beings. Heyert's portraits offer a provocative meditation on humanity, dignity, and death, while poignantly highlighting a fading your custom associated with the changing Harlem community at Edwin Houk Gallery, 745 fifth Avenue, (Spooky, but really good!), 6-8pm

For a reprise of Crits' Pix at Black and White Gallery in the summer of 2004, Lilly Wei has been invited once again to suggest some younger critics to curate a show based on emerging artists they believe are particularly talented and topical. Megan Heuer, an editor of The Brooklyn Rail and a frequent contributor to ARTnews picked Farrah Karapetian and Roger White, artists who both explore the imperfections of representation. Karapetian's recent photograms use everyday objects to create images that document the chance inherent in the darkroom process. In his watercolors of domestic spaces inhabited by his friends and family, White paints his memory of a room to counter the photographic record, which inevitably fails to capture the physical sensation of a place. Diane Kagoyire, who writes for The Art Newspaper chose Rachelle Cohen and Rex Enseki. Rachelle Cohens text-based work is mostly blurred or otherwise obscured but permits revelatory glimpses; she has been much influenced by Gerhart Richter and paintings that are statements about ideas for paintings. Rex Ensekis abstractions depict social scenes that focus on such elements as physical proximity, body language, and the levels of energy that exist among a crowd or within a solitary figure, free of extraneous distractions. Katie Stone, a frequent contributor to The Brooklyn Rail and Frieze opted for Melissa Dadourian. Beginning with vintage Playboy spreads, Dadourian explores desire, idolatry, and temptation. She represents sultry women in measured, sinewy strokes, often constructed in thread, and her painstaking reinterpretations of the feminine physique infuse the work with the palpable physical tension of seduction. Sarah Valdez, a frequent contributor to Art in America, ARTnews, Paper and other publications selected Michelle Elzay, Casey Ruble and Dirk Westphal who explore the weird way humans, including themselves, project meaning and esthetics onto animals. Through their work, these three New York-based artists dig into, respectively, the foppishness of falconry, the way people drag both creatures and ornamentation into conflict and the uncanny, natural gorgeousness of tiny, territorial damselfish., 6-9pm
