James and I need to be cloned or have teleporting skills for days like this. Tonight, Plus Ultra and Schroeder Romero open in their new spaces on 27th Street. See ArtCal for more info.
In addition, Matt Wolf has curated an event related to the Downtown Show at NYU's Grey Art Gallery. It starts at 6:30, and here is a description:
No Alternative:
New Downtown Art
Thursday, March 2, 6:30 pm
The Fales Library, Elmer Holmes Bobst Library
70 Washington Square South, Third Floor
Panelists in this discussion will reflect on the legacy of Downtown art. Performance, punk, feminism, and queer activism are among the current concerns of the young artists and organizers taking part. Examining their own work, speakers will reconsider the relevance of terms like "Downtown" and "alternative." With JD Samson, Le Tigre, musician and artist; Dean Daderko, curator; Ulrike Müller, LTTR, artist; Jeremy Wade, Chez Bushwick, dancer; Nate Lowman, artist. Moderated by Matt Wolf; Carlo McCormick, respondent.
I felt the same way last night about the cloning... Too many great events to choose from.
I choose to go to P.S.1 to hear Wolfgang Tillmans give a gallery walk through his new show..Big turnout. Plus, He's a really great speaker.. and I have to admit.. I appreciate the show much more after hearing him describe it.
