For years now, Gallery 1988 has hosted countless shows paying tribute to our favorite filmmakers, actors, and movie characters — nearly all of them, we now realize, human beings. Their latest show features no homo sapiens whatsoever; in Evanimals, artist Evan Yarbrough pays tributes to the greatest beasts, pets, and animal companions in popular culture. The exhibition opened last weekend at G1988 East; we were lucky enough to get our hands on a few highlights.
