		30:JON PYLYPCHUK Site-specific Installation March 20th-April 24th, 2004 Pylypchuk knows something of the curse of perspicacity that has befallen us. He knows how sad it is to try to fall in love in a world where you see through everything, all the time. This is the sort of sadness that tempers his otherwise joyfully scrappy cut-and-paste paintings and objects. Made with fabrics, glitter, plywood, glue-on doll’s eyes, and all sorts of low-end stuff, his work is always ornamented with quick snippets in a language that rolls out like an endless song for the forsaken.
