Brooklyn art
If I wasn’t working tonight I would be here in a heartbeat. Jen Bekman’s gallery, 20×200 and hey hot shot! all have exposed me to brilliant work that I otherwise would have never come across. From the 20×200 blog:
Jen Bekman of Jen Bekman Projects, Inc., will be crossing the river to join artist and collector Danny Simmons, Joe Amrhein from Williamsburg’s Pierogi Gallery and Steve Weintraub of Arts in Bushwick for an evening discussion on Brooklyn artists and collecting in the borough.
The panel, “Collecting in Brooklyn” is part of the Brooklyn Museum’s larger series, Collecting Currently, and will bring you up to speed on emerging Brooklyn artists and the best ways to get your hands on some of their work before they hit the big time (read: while you can still afford it).
The discussion will take place next Wednesday, May 27th from 7:00 Р8:30 p.m. at the Brooklyn Museum — Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery, 5th Floor.
Wine is included in the $20 ticket price ($15 for members). Visit www.museumtix.com to register. Be there or be, um, artless!
