New York Summer Pt. 1

July 2nd, 2009 — by Beau Basse in Art in General, Beau Basse's Blog, Street Art

Rumors abound that LeBasse Projects is going to be putting on a show in NY, so don’t let my recent visit this past weekend change anything. I spent a whirlwind weekend visiting galleries, meeting fun people and dropping in for a few studio visits.

Breezing through Chelsea I stopped to say hi to Michael Foley, who had a very challenging show of photography by Colby Katz. 5 year old Pageant Queens are awfully hard to gaze at for too long…

Foley has a great space, and had some great work on his entry doors from Alexandre Orion.

I dropped in to see Joshua Liner, Last Rites, Jonathan Levine and a few other galleries, maybe ill get some more pics online later. Running back to the Lower East Side I had the pleasure of visiting Alix Sloan, who runs a great program down on Rivington. With two shows up at the moment – Jonathan Viner and a summer group exhibit it was a nice chance to see everything the gallery had going. Alix introduced me to some excellent cupcakes next door to the gallery…which just makes me want to go back.
