Sweet Toof Show
Pandemic Gallery
22 Waverly Street, Brooklyn, NYC
Great show created from scratch only a couple months ago. A ton of work here that fills every bit of space in this unique, huge gallery space here in Brooklyn. A bit of a hike to get here, but well worth it. It’s a chanced to own some Sweet Toof at a very affordable price. Check it out!

Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery
Mature show for Jose Parla. THe work is getting more abstract and nuanced and layered. The show features 2 giant Berlin Wall style pieces when you walk in as well as a back wall that is completely worked and covered in motion that is strictly Magenta. Cool Show, Check it out.
Awol Erizku
The Only Way Is Up.
Hasted Kraeutler
Pictured above is Awol Erizku and Scott Frank art collector. Great show from a new MFA graduate from the Yale school of Art. Many of his class contemporaries were there to support his break-out show at Hasted Kraeutler. With a precise eye, he has managed to reference modern art history with his own contemporary experiences. He is making Art and Hip-Hop accessible to two different cultures that rarely cross or share a commonality. With his 7 story basketball hoops stacked vertically with the nets created out of gold chains and a Brooklyn Nets basketball sitting at top, there is no doubt the hip hop crew could relate to this piece. But with sly creative effect, he is referencing Donald Judd and sharing mental space with modern art world contemporaries. On the flip side with the Number 87 Duschamp basketball jersey, he’s taking a ready-made (very duchampian) and bringing the Hip Hop world into the modern art world with his ready made. Cool show. This kids on the move. Check it out.
