DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<i>Vestibules and Portals, Laminates and Veneers:  Objects and Constructed Paintings</i> is a tediously overlong title for Mark R. Smith’s elegant show.  Smith relies heavily on fabric in this buoyant celebration of surface and color.  In works such as <i>Slumping Pavillion</i>, he gets overloaded on busy compositions, but in <i>Museum Peripheral</i> and the six-piece series<i> In the Course of Forming an Aggregate Whole</i>, he makes judicious use of negative space, imparting a pared-down, design-y feel.  These are insouciant charmers, especially the empty, oversized frame entitled <i>Open Cameo With Stand</i>.  With a visual sensibility this winning, Smith doesn’t need actual subject matter; he frames air itself with consummate aplomb.  <i>Nov. 1-Dec. 29.</i><p>&nbsp;</p>
