This sprawling group show is a hot mess—and some may find portions of it disturbing—but its mastermind, Bjarne Melgaard, who represented Norway at the Venice Biennale this summer, poses important questions about free speech, gay rights, race, and the agency of the artist. (Some of these points are addressed head on, in videotaped footage of the artist consulting his therapist.) Melgaard uses the works of others—including such outlier painters as Martin Wong, Dwight Mackintosh, Marlon Mullen, and William N. Copley—to create a riveting portrait of psychosexual conflict. Through Oct. 22.
