A solo show by Charles Atlas called The Illusion of Democracy is the inaugural show for Luhring Augustine's new space in Bushwick.

The exhibition includes two video installations by Atlas — 'Painting by Numbers' (2008) and 'Plato's Alley' (2009) — that have never before been seen in New York.

A still from Atlas's '143652,' a silent video that is 12-minutes long.

Vartanian said the show was a little like getting stuck in your computer, and I'd agree.

A still from "Plato's Alley," another installation that has not yet been seen in New York.

Math nerds, take heed. 'Painting by Numbers' is a serious mind warp.

Things that make you say, 'Hmmm'!
