Duke Riley

Duke Riley, who took a fleet of burning, makeshift ships into battle at the Queens Museum in 2009, is back and as radically renegade and subversively creative as ever. This time, he's breaching security checkpoints and a little island in the Delaware River, trying to reclaim the land from Citgo (and thus Hugo Chávez) on behalf of its nineteenth-century Irish-immigrant settlers, "artifacts" relating to which fill the show. As documented in photographs, the artist breaks in, climbs atop one of the giant oil tanks, and paints an enormous portrait of one of the island's original owners. Act of war or work of art, it's powerful stuff.
