Williamsburg 2nd Fridays Gallery Crawl

Posted on by
It’s not all crowded subway trains in my neighborhood

What do you know? I moved to Williamsburg just in time for the 2nd Fridays gallery crawl. It will be great to see a bit more of my new neighborhood, an a few galleries I like (Slate Gallery for example) are having events and some I’m not familiar with (Graphite with a new show by Tae Hwang) come recommended.

Full list of events and spaces if you are so inclined:

  • Tae Hwang In Between at Graphite
  • “Exploring 100 Years of Figurative Art: Part II ” Including the Realists” at Figureworks
  • Sarah H. Paulson Your point will change… at Alice Chilton Gallery
  • Chino Amobi Pregnancy Pact at Like The Spice
  • Artist Talk: Barbara Thomas The Floating Color Series at Slate Gallery

And then there’s also:

Gitana Rosa (Can’t forget the show name: Hung: Checking out the Contemporary Male)
19 Hope St. #7 (b/w Roebling and Havemeyer)


Black and White Gallery (less than a block from my new apartment)
483 Driggs Avenue (between N 10th and N 9th)

Hogar Collection (recommended to me)
362 Grand Street (the corner of Marcy Ave)

Pierogi ( <3 )
177 N. 9th St. Brooklyn

Go See: Pipilotti Rist at Luhring Augustine

It was in my plans even before I read this review of the show to go see the Pipilotti Rist, just because her video installation Pour Your Body Out in the atrium of MoMA was so lush and engrossing. I didn’t even know she has made a chandelier of underwear. (pictured above)

Now it’s been moved to top priority. : )

Grown-Up Mobiles: Nathan Carter at Casey Kaplan

Williamsburg Brooklyn Public Housing Project Concealed Swinden Call and Response  
I’m really over long, evocative but gibberishy names for exhibitions– POCKET SHRAPNEL SET-UPS VERONICA VEX AND BROOKLYN STREET TREASURE –being a great example of such. That being said, the art itself in this Nathan Carter exhibition at Casey Kaplan was quite good–small scale Calder-esque with a bit more intricacy. The wall-sized installation above could have been a Miro if flat, but Carter brought out the dimensions by creating the composition from large metal pieces at varying depths to good effect (hard to capture in a photograph).

There was another fabulous, playful piece reminiscent of the game Mousetrap that I loved. However I am in a sad state–camera-less– and so will have to leave you with this one image pulled from the web and tell you to go see for yourself before October 23. For some reason Casey Kaplan doesn’t have any of his new work up.
