next week . . is the<\/strong> so-called big NYC ART FAIR WEEK.<\/p>\n

as far as I can see, there are exactly 2<\/strong> hot picks for the week:<\/p>\n

‘ARTISTANCE’<\/strong> a gritty straight-up-from-the-streets show of about 26 artists presented by indie curator – CHE MORALES, in the new format event venue\/gallery\/community center I.M.A.G.E in BUSHWICK . . .<\/p>\n

and the other, the bigger venue . . ‘multi-pack’ SPRING BREAK ART FAIR<\/strong> re-located to mid-Manhattan this year – but still . . indie curator-based. just . . many many curators, instead of one, and many many artists, way more than 26, especially new ones, and a small entry fee to cover the organizational costs. unlike most art fairs, no ‘canned’ goods here.
\nall fresh produce. you just never know . . what’s around the corner.
\n(more on SPRING BREAK – next post !!) <\/p>\n

for sure, it’s the young<\/strong> indie curators, whether the single voice, or seen as a group . . who have their fingers on the fast-paced pulse of the city’s art scene right now. they are like worker bees, always seeking alternative spaces, alternative ways of drumming up money, constantly unearthing, and presenting the newest wave of talent, that un-endingly makes its way to New York City, and struggles hard to call this damn will kill you city, home. all of them, curators and artists, wanting to break free, to be HEARD. SEEN. & LISTENED TO, while they dance in the moonlight – on that, bleeding edge curve that has always made . . NYC legend.<\/p>\n

so, I was happy to hear that CHE MORALES had his show extended, and if you want to get away from the maddening, dumbed-down, ‘no-see’ crowds, this is a great place to start, and then you can just day trip all over Bushwick, and Williamsburg, and Greenpoint.
\n(including all the hot artisan ‘pottery’ stores, and restaurants, lol.)<\/p>\n

which brings us back to CHE MORALES, who just sent in some great pix of his show, and what can I say . . except that, if you are a start-up ‘collector’, this show is a no-brainer, probably your best bet for your art buying $$$ – right now. just very raw, very authentic, and very . . real.
\nvery intense. definitely trying to say . . something about the world we live in.
\nstraight up from the streets, just the way we like it.<\/p>\n
