EAST MOVES WEST / OCT 17-NOV 15, 2007
ATM GALLERY – 621 WEST 27th St – CHELSEA – NYC
BILL BRADY and ATM GALLERY CELEBRATE their new (large !!) space – a couple of doors over, or to the west of the former 27th St. location, hence the title !! – with a big survey show of new works by the gallery’s artists.
ATM GALLERY first opened in a storefront on AVE B in the East Village, in 2001.
BILL is also proud to be able to say that: ATM “facilitated the first debut New York solo shows
for most of these artists, including TOMOO GOKITA, HUMA BHABHA, MIN KIM, YAYOI DEKI, MIKE PARE and SAEKO TAKAGI, among others.” !!
