The gallery wants to turn the space into an “amigurumi room,” filled with “cuddly and cute handmade creatures.” The concept, amigurumi, is a culture that began in Japan, but is now cherished by crocheters and knitters all over the world. “Resobox Gallery was so inspired by the amount of amigurumi artists out there that they decided to embark on a journey to create an exhibition showcasing the united, global love of this cute craft,” according to a description on the gallery’s website. FISHER LANDAU CENTER FOR ART 38-27 30th St. I 718-937-0727 “Literary Devices” Ongoing through March 15 Tiernan Morgan reviews LITERARY DEVICES for Hyperallergic: “NOVEL TAKES on a BLUECHIP ART COLLECTION in QUEENS. Thematic exhibitions present a unique dilemma: if a curator follows a theme too rigidly, the exhibition can become stifling; if applied too loosely, the curator essentially undermines their own role. LITERARY DEVICES, currently on view at the Fisher Landau Center for Art, manages to find the middle ground, largely due to its intelligent, and at times, provocative arrangement of works.” Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Photo by Scott Chamberlain-IndieCade
