SEAN HIGGINS

The big, boffo color photographs in Higgins’s show are fictions based very loosely on facts. More than half of them are fiery explosions (they look like missile liftoffs without the missiles) or roiling clouds of smoke incongruously suspended in blue skies. The others are landscape fragments: a rushing river, a grassy hill, a heavily forested mountain. The illusion of reality dissipates quickly, leaving us with what might be computer-game effects and diorama backdrops. It’s not totally awesome, dude, but the blastoffs are real guilty pleasures—a week’s worth of action-movie moments compressed into one gorgeous kaboom! Through Aug. 15. (Collette Blanchard gallery, 26 Clinton St. 917-639-3912.)
