Like everyone else in the country, I’ve been tracking the storm as it barreled along the East Coast and pummeled New York, the city I called home for 19 years. It’s been pretty excruciating to watch — and certainly infinitely worse for everyone who experienced it.
As a matter of course (and in a fit of optimism), I’ve listed this week’s NYC gallery openings. But as Hyperallergic, Art Fag City, Artforum, Art in America, Jerry Saltz, and Gallerist NY have been reporting, numerous art neighborhoods have been hit hard by the floods (not to mention lots of individual artist studios) and no one can be sure that any of these openings will go down as planned, especially with the transportation systems in shut-down mode.
Anyhow, I hope everyone is safe and dry and that things soon return to the pre-storm levels of loud-mouthed self-obsession.
