Posted by juggernut3, June 11, 2011

AM recently attended a group exhibition (previewed) held by Vandalog and M.A.N.Y. in New York. The show Up Close & Personal was unique in the sense that it was not held outdoors or in a gallery, but in an actual apartment on the Upper West Side. The show was limited to viewing for less than a week, but less is more as art fans were escorted in small groups for an intimate viewing session of small works by Aiko, Chris Stain, Elbowtoe, Gaia, How & […]

Posted by sleepboy, August 3, 2010

Openings: Rooms @ Scion Space

Posted by juggernut3, April 30, 2010

On Saturday night, AM attended the opening of “Rooms” at Scion Space (previewed). The show, curated by Roger Gastman, certainly brought us back to the old school days of youth.

There was literally something for everyone to reminisce on. The artists: Adam Wallacavage, Bill Daniel, Chris Stain, Dan Monick & […]
