  • Election night events

    I hope to be celebrating, not drowning my sorrows, on election night. I actually hope we know who the “winner” is that night, and that they don’t put NYC under martial law.

    I know of two lists of election night events:

    • From Joy Garnett, a list of exhibitions related to the election, which includes some election night events
    • From culturebot.org

    I also know of parties at White Box, Exit Art, in Manhattan, and Four Walls Projects at Supreme Trading in Williamsburg.

    Also, Not in Our Name is gathering at Union Square, 5-10.

    Let me know if you hear of any others, and where you’re planning to be on election night.

  • Julian Montague’s Stray Shopping Cart Project

    I previously mentioned Julian Montague’s appearance in the summer group show at Black and White.

    I just found out he has a web site, and the Stray Shopping Cart Project has its own web site. The project is a kind of taxonomy of shopping carts as they’re found away from their original locations. You can see it at Art in General through November 6.

  • More Echo Eggebrecht images/details

    When I wrote about her show earlier, I hadn’t realized she had a web site. She has more images and details on her website, www.echoeggebrecht.com.

    I don’t get it. To me, caring about who wins a baseball game is like screaming “Yeah! Coke beat Pepsi!” They’re all corporate brands.

  • Is that George Clinton at the DanceMob?

    From John Perry Barlow

    Following our forays during the Republican National Convention, many in our DanceMob declared that dancing in the streets had been so much gosh-darned fun that it would be a good thing to do even without a targeted political motive.

  • Art in the Bronx

    The first annual Mott Haven Artist Studio Tour happens this Saturday and Sunday. It also includes performances, video, and music. You can get there via subway. If you can go to PS1 or Williamsburg, which are only one stop from Manhattan, don’t let that be your excuse.

  • One more Saturday opening

    Now that Foxy Production mentioned their new exhibition on their web page, I can mention it as one of my picks.

    Despite the Sun: Jimmy Baker, Gail Stoicheff and Yuh-Shioh Wong

    We blew it by not seeing Yuh-Shioh Wong’s solo show at ATM, so we’re looking forward to this one. Love her!

    Also, I screwed up by not mentioning Type A’s opening at Sara Meltzer tonight. I’m losing my organizational skills for the openings calendar as it gets more popular. Go see their show! Disclaimer: we own some of their work. In fact, we were the first people to buy a Type A work.

  • Speaking of openings…

    There are a lot of openings the next few days. My picks:

    Today, Thursday

    Larissa Bates, Attack/Rescue of the Little-Tiny-Babies, 2004
    gouache and acrylic ink on paper
    20 by 14.25 inches

    • Larissa Bates at Monya Rowe — see James.
    • Also in Chelsea: Kahn and Selesnick at Yancey Richardson. This time the duo’s premise is that the 1960s astronauts land on the moon and find a group of Edwardian astronauts.
    • If we weren’t planning to be at Monya Rowe, we would go see Cary Liebowitz/Candyass at Triple Candie’s slide show/lecture series. It starts at 7.

    Friday

    • Brady Dollarhide at Jessica Murray – her new Chelsea space
    • Seonna Hong at Oliver Kamm 5BE
    • Election at American Fine Arts (West 22nd, no web site I think)

    Saturday

    All in one building at 547 West 27th:

    Note: If the gallery web site hasn’t been updated, it’s not getting listed. I made an exception for the exceptional American Fine Arts.
