Shaquille O’Neal’s curatorial debut opened at Flag Art Foundation this past Friday to a mass of curious art fans. A line filled the lobby just for the elevator up to the duplex gallery space on the 9th and 10th floor. The massive gallery space was justly utilized to house both the ginormous and microscopic pieces that represented the show’s theme “Size Matters”.

“The Big Curator” did a nice job not only picking some of the top names in the industry, but also selecting some very relevant pieces that made the audience feel like they were living large or quite insignificant. Also impressive about the show was the utilization of both indoor and outdoor spaces for a whole range diverse mediums such as installations, sculptures, photography, and canvases. The show runs until May 27th so if you’re in the NYC area, it should make your list of must sees.
