ahhh to be back in NYC. now I know why. never a weekend (or weekday for that matter) goes by without something going on. Tomorrow: a movie outdoors at Socrates Sculpture Park. Thursday I’m going to pick up the most awesomest bitchenist cowabunganist piece of furniture this side of Northern Boulevard. and Friday and Saturday will open shows by my mates Sarah Glidden and Zach Bruder (respectively). Sarah’s show is less an exhibition proper and more an annual celebratory gathering of Brooklyn cartoonists, but her work is hot shit so you should still stop by if you’re around. Incentive: oh yeah, both events with have free COLD brewskies, or so I’m told.

FRIDAY:

pretty straightforward that. nice flyer. I think I know this Ryan too. Sarah says it’s one of her friends and I know a number of her Ryan friends, so I reckon I have an 88% chance of previous encounter. Which makes it all the more exciting for me, putting art-to-face.

SATURDAY:

Bedford Avenue Gallery is pleased to announce the Zach Bruder’s first solo show , opening August 1st.

Zach Bruder will show his Forecast series with several other works on paper. Working in the gap between history and figuration, Bruder appropriates both text and imagery ranging from Civil War generals to auction catalogs. These images, disembodied and stunted, join to make a strangely poignant body of work exploring mankind’s urge to commemorate itself.

Zach Bruder, born in 1984, lives and works in New York.
