Here’s the press release, a Time Out New York pick, Haberarts.com review, Huffington Post feature and Artillery Magazine review on my latest curatorial endeavor, Crazy Lady, a group exhibition up now through October 8 at Schroeder Romero & Shredder Gallery. I’d planned to explore the theme further through a performance night, as well as film and literary components (see lists below for examples of the latter), but finding venues, and organizing such events during one of the busiest times of the year for me – the first few weeks of the Fall semester – was just too much. Regardless, the show rocks, so check it out before it closes!
