Yesterday, the Occupy Wall Street Arts & Culture Working Group, facilitated by the Space Team, began a 2-mo residency at Hyperallergic HQ in Williamsburg. The first activity will be a potluck event that takes place tomorrow, Friday, February 3.
Events
This week, our first February prescription has something for those whose masculinity ails them in the form of two shows at the Brooklyn Museum. But don’t forget it’s Black History month, so we also offer up a healthy dose of African and African-American identity. And finally, the Queens International Biennial, which opens this week, will give you a great booster shot of emerging art that should get you through the week.
For this week’s Art Rx dig into shows at both galleries and museums, plus an art fair, The Outsider Art Fair. There’s also plenty to see (and eat) at MoMA PS1 this weekend and a show of comic books relating to Tibet at the Reuben Museum of Art that we are sure won’t disappoint.
This Saturday, January 28, the multidisciplinary arts organization Real Art Ways will present a panel discussion on the controversy surrounding collage street artist Poster Boy, aka Henry Matyjewicz.
Time flies when you’re looking at art. This week’s prescription features a few shows that are closing (already!), including Jeff Wall and Maurizio Cattelan.
Joann Kim Núñez of Updownacross is partnering with Skillshare to build a Creative Arts program that will offer classes for the city’s aspiring and emerging creatives.
Hyperallergic has always kept its finger on the pulse of Bushwick’s growing art scene. This Thursday Hyperallergic editor, Hrag Vartanian, broadens the discussion, as he moderates the “Confronting Bushwick: A Discussion on the Nature and Future of the Bushwick Art Scene” panel at Bushwick’s Bogart Salon, one of the galleries in the burgeoning 56 Bogart Street art building.
This weekend, we’re proud to debut our new section, Hyperallergic Weekend.
Spearheaded by John Yau and Thomas Micchelli, both former editors of the Brooklyn Rail, Claudia La Rocco, regular contributor to the New York Times, and Albert Mobilio of Bookforum, this exciting new forum for deepening the conversation on Hyperallergic will also feature guest contributors every week.
Hyperallergic Weekend continues our aspirations to develop a publication that will engage with ideas and news on a daily basis. We’re very happy that Hyperallergic has been able to grow over the past two years to become an important venue for cultural discussion. We enjoy a passionate global readership and continue to attract leading voices in arts and letters but we also know that the best is yet to come.
Newsletter subscribers will receive an email every Sunday that highlights Hyperallergic Weekend posts, which will include “Required Reading.” This new addition is sure to enrich your weekend reading. Our regular weekly emails will be sent out Thursday mornings. To subscribe to our newsletter, please click here.
Onward and upward!
This week we continue with more show openings for weekend art-goers in need of a nugget of inspiration. Our round-up includes the Mike Weiss Gallery, Sculpture Center, Journal Gallery, the Studio Museum in Harlem, Airplane gallery, Nyehaus Gallery and Chambers Fine Art.
Welcome to 2012! As soon as the clock struck midnight, not only did the new year begin, but the art world also got a shot of adrenaline as January brings in more exhibition openings than we can keep track of.
