Mr. Goicolea’s striking black and white photographs appear to be intimate documentary shots of difficult moments in the lives of emotionally disturbed or mentally impaired pre-adolescent boys; in fact, they are staged with the artist himself acting the part to psychologically convincing effect. Mr. Scott uses Legos to construct brightly colored pictures of anonymous men, and he makes expansive paintings of parking lots that read as elegant Minimalistic abstractions.
