A Cloud in a Box

Streaming on Fort Gansevoort

The song “A Cloud in a Box,” by the Pet Shop Boys, tells of a magician who displays his prize—a cloud in a box—once a week. When asked how it got there, he answers that it’s “a secret / Between him and the sky.” Fort Gansevoort has a new weekly online exhibition series, “Seeing Through You,” that strives for something similar, a sprinkle of magic to brighten up uncertain days. This week, Los Angeles curator Terry R. Myers brings together seven artists from Berlin, Los Angeles, Santiago, Stockholm, and Tel Aviv. These people, says Myers, “have been together for quite some time in my mind’s eye.” —E.C.
