Frank in the 3rd Dimension

Frank in the 3rd Dimension is a series of Jim Woodring’s loveliest pictures — 32 anecdotal visual vignettes, dioramas, moments pickled in time — as you’ve never seen Frank before: in 3-D, about as real as you can get him outside of an Ionescoian theatrical performance (which could be next — watch your local theater listings). Frank and Frank’s world are already hallucinatory, but seeing him in the most technologically advanced and artistically crafted 3-D ever produced—more than 150 layers per drawing in order to round and “sculpt” each image into full, volumetric 3-D — is an experience that has to be savored to be believed.
