‘No Discipline,’ at the MOMA.

Ellis Gallagher: Urban Legend?
New York nightlife abounded at Ellis Gallagher’s New York City-reflective art exhibit on Bowery and Delancey at the Collective Hardware Gallery Thursday night. A couple of skips and a shimmy past the Williamsburg Bridge, it was easily accessible enough...
Art of Fashion- discovering beauty in the rough.
Webster Hall was just like I once remembered it; glittery disco ball, flashing lights, sideways glances and heart-pounding music blaring out of speakers. The crowd was familiar, with the occasional hipsters, the model-esque women clomping around in their platform...
Sally Golan finds her Bunny hole…
My second trip down the Gallery Bar rabbit hole occurred yesterday evening. Unlike our heroine Alice, however, I did not know what quarry I chased. Was it a time constrained rabbit?

“Chase”; Machine does not equal man, unless inclined…
The thing with Liz Magic Laser is she doesn’t like banks, which is ironic because she’s in our opinion going to be banking quite a bit going forward. When we say doesn’t like banking what we ought to say...

Entering Japonais is crossing from the heart of a metropolis irreverently bustling around the clock in Manhattan’s GRAMMERCY Park district into a serendipity of subtle au courant—the restaurant is all mirrors and mood lighting. Downstairs, such lighting gave the...
Sally Golan Night of Social Exposure
The starving artist is a character that appears often in romantic renditions of New York City life. In a city whose door is always revolving, where the young and novel are soon shunted aside as old and stale,...
CJ Reilly- From one tip of Bushwick to South America.
The Bushwick Open Studios and Art Festival is a bit of a Renaissance Fair where intrepid travelers can return to the Williamsburg of yore. Dressed in the costume of hipsters, they can participate in cheap-beer swilling contests, weave golden...

The artists who will be impressing us with their talent within the next five years are probably all in high school today, and the 2009 Annual Benefit to Support the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers is in the...
Alix Smith: “The Dislocation of Self.”
According to Alix Smith celebrated photographer/artist the moment of self arrives not with the construct of self but the deconstruction of self. In a society intimately concerned with appearances, the look of things, what often goes on is that...
Akut and Hera- if only you were as beautiful as us…
If you Google “Redflagg Herakut opening”, you will undoubtedly be directed to a number of art forums, each with multiple frantic posts from Herakut fans stunned that they hadn’t heard about the opening party Thursday night that kicked off...
Looking for Plato at Collective Hardware.
Plato’s theory of forms holds that there exists a perfect other in a removed world of which ours is a sad, poor copy. I believe this to be an acceptable segue.
The Black Honky art show of works by former...
Glamour Boy Andrew Levitas gives you Mean Painting.
Glamour Boys are generally to be found in front of the screen or smoking European cigarettes at low key locales that you can never get in. Of course this weekend this glam lad went for the jugular when he...
