Architects and Alcohol

After class this morning I went to work at the gallery. There was a lot to be done, last minute art hanging and party preparations for the opening of a show of architecture drawings by Daniel Libeskind. The first part of the opening was a private affair, where guests had to RSVP. After that anyone could come. A month ago I went gallery hopping on a night when almost every gallery in Chelsea was having an opening and it was crazy. While I'm not sure if it was like this other places, our gallery was absolutely packed tonight. We served an incredible amount of alcohol, all free. At the end of the night I had to lug many huge garbage bags full of bottles to the curb. It was a fun night and a lot of work. I was glad that I got to meet two artists that Max Protetch represents that I really like, Oliver Herring and Tobias Putrih. If you click on the Oliver Herring link it will take you to a page about a PBS show called Art:21, which Oliver happened to be on tonight. If you haven't seen Art:21 I highly recommend it. Even though the 3rd season is still airing for the first time NYCAMS already has a copy on DVD, so I'm going to watch Oliver's part, and the rest of it soon.

I haven't done all that much in the studio this week because the gallery has kept me very busy. But here are a few new things:
