FOR A LITTLE MORE<\/strong> LOW-DOWN – on WILL !!
\ncheck out:<\/strong> CULTURED MAGAZINE \/ ‘IN NEW YORK, ATM Gallery REACTS TO THE MOMENT’ . . by MOSES DRIVER \/ FEB 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n

at that point in time, FEB 2021, just about a year ago: it was all about: WILL & BILL !!!<\/strong>
\nWILL LEUNG & BILL BRADY.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will had just partnered up with, and co-opened<\/strong> . . a new rendition \/ or resurrection of the original \/ legendary NYC ATM Gallery – with BILL BRADY<\/strong>, the original founder. BILL opened the historic, original, raw & tiny . . ATM space, in 2000 \/ on a gritty corner of AVE B, in the East Village, when the concept<\/strong> of small, as in very small !! indie galleries – was just percolating. <\/p>\n

ANOTHER PLACE . .<\/strong> represents Will’s first solo \/ gallery venture, and the 2 galleries are side by side, which is quelle FUN !!!<\/p>\n

and, YES !!<\/strong>
\nI do<\/strong> know – that original ATM Gallery time, place, and all<\/strong> the players – very, very well.
\nI covered that scene for editor WALTER ROBINSON at artnet \/ from 2002- 2004.
\nwhen by 2005 \/ digital technology had advanced enough – to allow for easy desktop ‘self-publishing’ \/ artlovers left artnet – to become artloversnewyork.com \/ in turn, becoming totally indie \/ independent – itself !!<\/p>\n

here’s a link<\/strong> – to my very first<\/strong> photo report for Artnet:
\n ‘ART LOVERS NEW YORK – PHOTOS by NANCY SMITH’ 11\/15\/02<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthat’s the top 2 rows \/ it scrolls down for several more lines \/ the early digital format at that time was . . thumbnail photos in a grid \/ and, then, if you hit each photo, you got the larger format. <\/p>\n

yes !!!<\/strong>
\nit was<\/strong> an amazing time !!! – even KEANU REEVES <\/strong> was out & about – strolling through the art .. scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nhere’s . .
\none of my earliest<\/strong> photos of BILL BRADY, published on Artnet.

\nmy photo of STEVEN PARRINO, at his big TEAM GALLERY opening on OCT 7, 2004 \/ the night before he tragically died in a motorcycle accident, was on the same report. it’s been floating around the internet forever.

\n(!!!!!)<\/p>\n

ps:<\/strong> for the brave-hearted & curious<\/strong>, it was<\/strong> WALTER ROBINSON, editor of artnet \/ at that time – god bless his little ole heart – who gave me my first, big<\/strong> break at artnet \/ and, it was he . . . who labelled me ‘artloversnewyork’ – like it, or not \/
\nbut, it sure did<\/strong> . . . stick !! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
