Nigel Coates's Baroccabilly furniture and lighting, on display this month and next at the Cristina Grajales Gallery in SoHo, was inspired by the unrestrained style of baroque design and rockabilly music. And by a fantasy narrative Mr. Coates invented in which an imaginary character inhabits a landscape made up of forms, textures and shapes he designed. (As he put it: ''Form follows fiction.'') Mr. Coates, an architect and professor at the Royal College of Art in London, worked with the furniture company Poltronova, which had the pieces made in Italy by master craftsmen specializing in hand-carving, gilding and tufting. ''There are no industrial processes,'' he said. ''Everything is hand done.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The Swiss wildlife and landscape painter Adolf Dietrich (1877-1957) has an unlikely ally in Richard Phillips, a contemporary artist given to large canvases and confrontational imagery. Mr. Phillips has been borrowing themes from Dietrich for years and now makes good on his debts in a stirring show at the Swiss Institute. Organized by Mr. Phillips and Gianni Jetzer, ''Painting and Misappropriation'' serves two functions: to introduce New Yorkers to Dietrich, and to present Mr. Phillips as a kind of crackpot art historian. (It should be taken together with his other recent curatorial effort, ''Your History Is Not Our History'' at the Midtown gallery Haunch of Venison, organized with David Salle.)

THE exhibition ''Roy McMakin: When Is a Chair Not a Chair?,'' now showing at the Cristina Grajales gallery in SoHo, coincides with the publication of a monograph of the same title from Skira Rizzoli. Mr. McMakin, an artist and designer, is known for his embrace of ambiguity and subversive humor in the design of seemingly mundane objects: a chest of drawers, for instance, that has no drawers; a teapot with the vestiges of a broken handle; the artist's dog, Joan, serving as the pudgy model for a lamp base. While Mr. McMakin designs perfectly functional interiors and furniture, he does it with an artist's eye, eschewing conventional ideas of perfection or comfort. Until July 2. 10 Greene Street, (212) 219-9941. PILAR VILADAS [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In the standard histories of the universe there are so many impossible things to believe before breakfast, as the White Queen put it in ''Through the Looking Glass'' -- black holes, antigravity, dark matter and all those sneaky subatomic particles zipping through us -- that the strangest and most amazing part of the universe gets short shrift. That would be us, collections of space junk, somehow perceiving and pondering the grandiosity that gave us birth in a sort of intellectual and emotional equivalent of the snake eating its tail. That is the point of ''Ouroboros: The History of the Universe,'' a 3-D visual collage of vibrating mandalas, exploding galaxies, astronauts and corporate logos, among much more, on six screens, all in the service of reconnecting consciousness and cosmos. It's now running in a darkened basement at the Ise Cultural Foundation in SoHo. Put on your 3-D glasses -- what isn't 3-D these days? -- and plug yourself back into the cosmos.

WALKING out of a Mel Ramos exhibition the other day, my companion remarked on how benignly amusing his paintings now seemed. Back in the 1970s, when she was a younger, more fiery feminist, his works infuriated her. Times have changed, although Mr. Ramos evidently has not, judging from a small (19 pieces) career survey at Louis K. Meisel Gallery in SoHo that includes paintings from the early '60s to the present, as well as luminous painted cast-resin sculptural versions of some of his classic images. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
