As just about every noteworthy gallery in our movement prepares to head down to Miami for all the art fairs the week after next, the amazing shows somehow just keep coming. From the groundbreaking public opening of the amazing new PRISM space on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood this Friday featuring museum size work from the legendary duo of Barry McGee and Phil Frost through to “The Thousands” group show in the UK curated by RJ of Vandalog that just opened last night, there just doesn’t look to be an end anytime soon to all the mind-bending eye candy. Rejoice and support the arts.
