Once again, our ARTINFO staff has adventured outside our offices, tasked with reviewing the art they saw this week in just one (often run-on) sentence. Here is what we found (to see our One-Line Reviews in illustrated slide show format, click here):

* Saint Clair Cemin, “SIX,” at Paul Kasmin, 515 West 27th Street, September 6-October 13

Modern, mostly abstract sculptures engage in a dialogue of texture, shape, color, and size, as the hard lines, imposing stance, and muted hue of a work like “Greece” are pleasingly contrasted by with the soft curves and sharply reflective material of smaller pieces like “And then (I Close My Eyes)” and “World As Flow.”  — Sara Roffino

* Martha Friedman, “Caught,” at Wallspace, 619 West 27th Street, September 7-October 20

The Detroit-born, Brooklyn-based sculptor’s bizarre, spiny totems, built up out of concrete and silicone casts of wedges (the tool, not the shape) are a memorable triumph of wacky aggregation aesthetics, though a giant hairball nearby lacks the conceptual rigor to deliver its punch-line. — Benjamin Sutton

* Shea Hembrey, “dark matters,” at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, 505 West 24th Street, September 6-October 20

After creating an imagined biennial with more than 100 made-up artists for his 2011 show “Seek,” Hembrey returns with a solo exhibition, this time with intriguing plays on perception like “radius,” a shipping crate that is made to look like a frozen vortex sucking in a mass of straw, and the otherworldly “Unstill Lifes,” paintings depicting images of yarn and splintered wood hovering in dark space. — Allison Meier

* Kim Joon, “Blue Jean Blues,” at Sundaram Tagore Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, September 6-October 6

The pale reds, golds, and porcelain whites of ‘fine china’ pattern that are printed on the fragments of plastic toys in Joon’s series may be meant to elevate these degraded everyday objects, but the effect is the opposite: it is harder than ever to imagine an aesthetic flourish that can complement Pop without being roguishly enveloped in it. — Reid Singer

* “Kelly’s Eye Club,” curated by Steve Mykietyn, at Orgy Park, 237 Jefferson Street 1B, Brooklyn, September 8-16

The kind of apartment show that makes you want to go to more apartment shows, “Kelly’s Eye Club” rounded up a distinctively funky batch of art, from Ben Godward’s globby candy-colored sculptures that look like frozen fountains of industrial waste, to Richard Evans’s eerie graphite drawings, which project a vibe of occult obsession. — Ben Davis

* Mr., “Metamorphosis: Give Me Your Wings,” at Lehmann Maupin, 540 West 26th Street, September 13-October 20

Japanese Otaku-obsessed artist Mr. completely transports viewers mentally and physically to a mish-mashed world of distressed, visually over-stimulating, cluttered, neon-drenched, perverse, interior-exterior environment(s) made up of videos, paintings, household objects, disco lights, and x-rated manga, all piled into a massive installation evoking the social unrest prevalent in today’s post-Tsunami Japan. — Alanna Martinez
