\nthe show runs: FEB 21 – MARCH 21, 2008
\nLEO KOENIG INC – 545 WEST 23RD ST. – CHELSEA – NYC<\/p>\n

SORRY – LOOKS LIKE THE GALLERY CHANGED THE TIME OF THE OPENING.
\non the card it says: 6-8PM, on the gallery website – it now says: 4-5PM. <\/p>\n

AIDAS BAREIKIS has a pretty crazy show going on at LEO KOENIG.
\nThe first installment, titled ‘PART ONE: FANCY MEETINGS’ looked like something out of apocalyptic futuristic death match meets the ghosts of ‘PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN’. It was actually a pretty amazing tableau to walk in on.
\nIt ran from Jan 10 – Feb 8th, 2008.
\nUnlike ‘PART ONE’ – which was multi-colored, to say the least, ‘PART TWO’ – is totally black and white – but it appears to have a slightly more black\/noir humorous, almost ‘carnival’ edge. ‘PART ONE’ – was pretty much all in-your-face-scary amazing !!<\/p>\n

AIDA BAREIKIS – ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – OPENS TO-NITE.
\nALSO PRESENTING WORKS BY: AARON BREWER, LILY LUDLOW, BILL SAYLOR and ANKE WEYER.<\/p>\n

THIS IS ONE SHOW – WHERE – A PICTURE IS DEFINITELY WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS – SO HERE’S SOME PIX !!
\nfirst up, ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ – JUST AS IT WAS BEING ASSEMBLED.<\/p>\n

\nAIDAS BAREIKIS – very bizarre life-size figures begin to emerge from their delivery wrappings. Aidas makes all the figures by hand. He rummages second hand stores for the clothes and accessories.<\/p>\n

\"Aidas
\nAIDAS BAREIKIS – in ‘PART TWO: EASY TIMES’ the figures are free-standing. in ‘PART ONE: FANCY MEETINGS’ – they were held up by an array of plastic cables and hooks – from the ceiling.<\/p>\n

\"Aidas
\nAIDAS BAREIKIS – a cautious, closer look at this curious being – she looks dead – but like trick dead – like, she could turn around and bite you in a nanosecond.<\/p>\n

\"Aidas
\nAIDAS BAREIKIS – ok. the last sneak peek – the thing to really see – is how they all assemble – and tell their story !!<\/p>\n
