The exhibition title “Reveries” suggests gentle daydreaming in a field of flowers, but the sculptural installations on view in Morton Fine Art’s latest show, which opens Friday from 6 to 8 p.m., might evoke a slightly more angsty state of mind. Between Victoria Shaheen’s ceramics —- cast from found objects and street debris —- and Jason Sho Green’s robotic sculptural installation —- inspired by urban decay —- the show’s underlying theme of things falling apart might keep you up at night.

SPECIAL REPORT
SPRING ARTS PREVIEW
From music to dance, the arts are in bloom. Here are our picks for the season.
REVERIES: NEW WORK BY JASON SHO GREEN AND VICTORIA SHAHEEN
This may be the ticket for those with a taste for the surreal. Green’s sculptural installations, which incorporate toylike robotics, hover between twee and disturbing. Shaheen, a ceramicist, also walks a fine line between the accessible and the outré.
Feb. 21 through March 18 at Morton Fine Art, 1781 Florida Ave. NW . 202-628-2787.www.mortonfineart.com.

The “Fragmentation & Integration” exhibition at Morton Fine Art will feature work from GA Gardner and Andrei Petrov, including the latter’s oil painting “Moroccan Field Trip.”
GALLERY OPENING OF THE WEEK
Formal considerations – how a work of art is put together – are front and center in “Fragmentation & Integration,” a two-person exhibition opening Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Morton Fine Art. The show features the abstractions of G.A. Gardner and Andrei Petrov, two artists whose manipulations of surface, pattern and scale explore the tension between coming together and falling apart.
But form also can convey a deeper meaning, as in the case of Gardner’s organic images, which the artist says are about the theme of memory and forgetting.
