kabibe game Mother Love and Puppy Love, With All Their Twists and Turns

It is not often that those of us setting out in Chelsea for an afternoon of gallery-going find ourselves mesmerized by a floor. But Camille Henrot, a French-born, New York-based multimedia artist, entices you to gaze downward at Hauser & Wirth. In the place of the usual expanse of poured and polished gray concretekabibe game, Henrot has devised a surface of wall-to-wall green rubber overpainted with the crisscrossing lines of a modernist grid. She might be the first artist in history to aspire to imbue the chaste space of a mega-gallery with the accident-proof look of a toddler’s play room.

Opposite the entrance to the gallery, a visitor encounters 10 smallish sculptures of dogs, each on a store-bought leash and tethered to a central pole. It’s as if a dog walker stopped by to see the show and then disappeared, leaving the pups unattended and without water. Does the dog walker know that it happens to be illegal in New York City to tie or chain a dog in a public space for longer than three hours? The question goes to the heart of Henrot’s hugely engaging exhibition, “A Number of Things,” a substantial gathering of sculptures and paintings that analyze the conventions of care (be it for children or pets) and the emotions they generate, from enraptured attachment to aching need.

That said, Henrot’s work is impressively free of didacticism and attentive to the differences among individual dogs. “Francesco,” as one sculpture is titled, is a French bulldog roughly carved from a block of wood. “Margaret” — an icon of the junk-into-art tradition of assemblage — has been cobbled together from a crumpled brown gym bag balanced atop four steel strips for legs. “Sammy,” a dachshund, is descended from Picasso’s open sheet-metal sculptures. “Richelieu,” an Afghan hound covered in hanging clumps of steel wool, could be the offspring of Giacometti’s skin-and-bones “Dog.”

And don’t miss “Herbert,” the most angular and abstract, who basically looks like a Bauhaus building on a leash. The saddest and cutest is surely “Hélix,” a coppery pup with almond-shaped eyes, pointy ears and a body that resembles a sweet potato. Missing her hind legs, she gets around on a pair of prosthetic stroller wheels.

Mr. Williams, found guilty of murder 21 years ago, has been fighting his conviction for decades, and this year he won the support of the prosecutor’s office that brought the original case. But the state attorney general maintained that Mr. Williams, now 55, was guilty, and the legal battle between the state and the county has been playing out for months in Missouri’s courts.

Combined with the effort by Congress to force TikTok to cut its ties with its Chinese owners, the initiative is a major addition to the administration’s efforts to seal off what it views as major cybervulnerabilities for the United States. But the effort has, in effect, begun to drop a digital iron curtain between the world’s two largest economies, which only two decades ago were declaring that the internet would bind them together.
