THE PIT

PHONE/INTERNET service in W.Chelsea = BAD NEWS

What is Rob fretting over?

We have been happily moved into our new location at 531 W. 26th street for over 2 years now, but unfortunately our honeymoon phase has been plagued by phone/internet troubles the entire time. Most recently, it has been brought to our attention that we are not the only gallery space in West Chelsea suffering from this problem. It seems that the wiring under the streets in this neighborhood is the real root of the problem, and until it's fixed we are doomed to lose phone/internet frequently, consistently, (if not weekly) until the cables are replaced. I'm hoping that some of you neighbors out there will read this and kindly share your phone/internet problems with us so that we can eventually band together to get West Chelsea's cables on the mend (and up to speed with the rest of the technologically functioning city.)

This is what happens...

...when you get married (and have gifts from your registry delivered to the gallery).

Beyond the Biennale

Since there are SOOO many fairs/biennials/exhibitions happening this summer, we're figuring you readers might feel overloaded, and might appreciate a little break from art news. So here's some non-art-related trivia:

Which photographer's young son describes himself as a "moneyholic"?

Which two Mixed Greens artists were formerly models?

Who almost got a record contract in London?

Which artist signed up for a sewing class at FIT to meet guys?

Which artist got down and dirty on the dance floor at the book party?

brought to you by yours truly (who shall remain nameless), back from italy:

California Love

Stas Orlovski's artwork flies high above the streets of Culver City's art district. Check out Overtones Gallery and the Culver City ARTWALK here.

OTHER European Art Events

While I agree that Florence, Italy doesn't host much contemporary art, the youth seems to really be getting into all things digital. And it's worth checking out.

So for those of you taking a day or two off from the Biennale, head down to Firenze for the far less stuffy (um, more student oriented) festa that is MUV.
