I'll admit up front that art in miniature holds great fascination for me...it hasn't lost its allure since childhood. Done well, I find it as moving and intriguing as a rare bird or flower. While all the 240+ artists with works in Jordin Isip's and Rodger Stevens' latest co-curated project, Dimebag 3 (on view at the Giant Robot Gallery in NYC through August 12) don't attain that jewel-like status, but there's plenty to look at here. The gallery is at 437 East 9th St. (between 1st + A), NYC [212-674-4769]. Gallery hours are M – Sat. 11:30 am – 8 pm; Sun. 12 – 7.
