Hedonist Theater

And, except for two white diagonal Flavins in the vestibule, that's it. A broad expanse of polished concrete floor and a sense of impending theater. Unlike his narrow, zooming corridors with harsh diagonals, or the freestanding, space-dividing light fences of earlier installations, here Flavin has cleared the dance floor with a slow, phosphorescent song. And it looks really good.

"Dan Flavin/Donald Judd: Aspects of Color" will be on view at the Menil Collection, 1515 Sul Ross, 525-9400, through January 24.

The Dan Flavin installation is permanently on view at Richmond Hall, 1500 Richmond Avenue.
