nyc art gallery/shows/museum help for 2/25 - 3/4

plus that promo stuff about Google maps was lame so actually fuck it

That Ramirez show at the Folk Art museum looks good. Plus it's a small museum, and right by the MOMA, so you can even do both in one shot if you have museum stamina. It's also fun to stick around the MOMA and see a film - comes with cost of admission and the theaters are surprisingly nice.

I like to take more art-inclined guests to Chelsea and walk them around the galleries there - they're free and I feel like I'm giving my guests some kind of "real New York experience" or whatever. I think there's a John Currin show still at Gagosian but not sure and too lazy to check.

PS 1 is worth a trip to LIC

The Frick is also good if you want a smaller, less overwhelming alternative to the Met.

All this might be obvious.

OK here's something design-ish a noize dude should dig. you can get a bus there from the Asia Society in Manhattan.

Brooklyn Museum is between exhibits right now, not sure what's opening in place of those Ron Mueck statues

I'd say the Devorah Sperber thing (Eye of the Artist = replicating old master paintings out of thread spools) isn't worth a trip by itself

so pissed i never made it down there for the mueck. my own fault, though :(

I went the second-last day

most of it was just okay .... but giant baby was WHOA

thx guys, keep em coming if you hear of anything else off the beaten path.

are you at Javits during the day? obvs you're a brisk walk to chelsea gallery proper.
