Whirlwind of events in New York
If you’re in New York this weekend, there is no shortage of art-related events to immerse yourself in. Here are three worth checking out:
Electric Windows - May 17-18
24 street artists converge in Beacon, NY, for live painting and the installation of their work on the exterior of a 19th century factory building. It’s worth the trip just to check out the dia:Beacon. This weekend, enjoy live music and an invigorating demonstration as well! Rent a Zip Car or take the MetroNorth. All the details here.
Tokion Creativity Now Conference - May 17-18
Tokion Magazine’s annual conference at Cooper Union will include guest speakers Harmony Korine, David Cross, and David Shrigley. Talks include “the Empty Gallery: Curating the Contemporary Art Space” and “Young Artists in New York,” curated by Thomas Duncan. See full schedule and event info here.
New York Photo Festival - May 14-18
Head to DUMBO for a deluge of photography in cavernous warehouse spaces. Participating venues include powerHouse books, DUMBO Arts Center, St. Ann’s Warehouse, and Smack Mellon. Check out the future of contemporary photography (for a bit more than a pittance) and the fancy-pants ad they’ve posted to YouTube.
