Ah, yet another reason I need to pack all my shit up and head straight to New York City, Brooklyn or Chelsea to be exact. Our good friends at Curbs & Stoops will open their Active Space on Norte Maar’s infamous Beat Nite. A collaboration between Wel, the project is a progressive cultural center and this Friday the art collective will open the first 6,000 square feet of the space.
The Active Space will house artists studios, the Curbs & Stoops residency program, exhibition spaces, and the collective’s art accessibility think tank that will continue to produce the Curbs & Stoops blog and curated publication. If I were there, I’d be here. But I’m not. So if you are there, and by there I mean NYC, you need to be there to experience this vibrant display of blah. The event will feature shows at spaces by English Kills, Centotto, Fortress to Solitude, Famous Accounts, and re-installation by Austin Thomas of the apartment gallery that started it all, Norte Maar.
