Magical procedures happen to be a theme in this show, too. There is a quality of the fairy-tale grotesque about Giulini’s “Untitled (Bananashoes).” Here pairs of shoes made from stitched-up banana peels sit atop a row of glass shoe boxes. The paradox in making shoes from stuff that symbolizes a pratfall turns to pity for our efforts to dress up our mortality the better to bear it…The desperation of the ego’s doomed battle with time is Giulini’s theme…
