 Olaf Breuning Sublety isn't exactly this brash young 
                  artist's forte. And the jagged hole in the wall through which 
                  you enter his trashed library is a bit too close for comfort 
                  to the hole in the wall into fellow Swiss artist Christoph Buchel's 
                  installation at Maccarone a while ago. What Breuning excels 
                  at is glam-trash cliche, willful crudity, pretensions of profundity, 
                  and special effects. Step through another hole in the wall and 
                  you'll be sucked into a vortexing tunnel of blue light that 
                  leads to a hallucinatory red skeleton, a bodacious ax-wielding 
                  sex doll in a deluxe coffin, and mounds of dirt. The vocoder-addled 
                  tune adds to the hollow spectacle of "Hello Darkness". 
                  Through August 3, Swiss Institute, 495 Broadway, 925-2035.
