Unsettled weather, the Ides of March, the seesaw election campaigns -- or whatever - have inspired artists and galleries to hang some edgy work this month. Some of the titles are spooky too: Little Deaths All the Same, at 31 Grand; My Vacation with a Kidnapper, at Envoy; I Am Who I Pretend to Be at Randall Scott Gallery. But there's also a breath of spring air at Little Bird Gallery, showing Another Green World; and the Gladstone Hotel, showing First Sign of Spring. Please check links for details.
