An ongoing exploration of self manifests in the paintings of these two artists.

Man Man, Rebecca Black [outside]
No new material impels Man Man’s summer tour, though they’ll be selling branded vegan jerky – sweet chili Teriyaki. What’s mind-blowing is that the instrumentally berserk art-pop cupids have invited Rebecca Black to open. The 22-year-old, who went viral in 2011 with ill-advised teenybopper ear crime “Friday,” now makes passable modern pop.
