Big Openings This Thursday and Friday

Yesterday I began carb loading in anticipation of a big Thursday gallery crawl. It's not often I make it to the Midtown galleries, but with Fred Herzog and Matthew Pillsbury in the mix I am willing to tear myself away from the usual Thursday night in Chelsea.

I have been crowing for a while now about Fred Herzog's brilliantly alive Kodachrome photos of Vancouver from the 50s and 60s. Shockingly this is his first solo show in the states.

Matthew Pillsbury's work is instantly iconic and you just know we are biding time until his MoMA retrospective. I love Matthew and his work, but secretly I'm really more interested in seeing Nathan.

Also worth checking out this Thursday is fellow SVA alum and all around radical chick, Alison Malone. Work from her series Job's Daughter will be featured in the Dream-Self group show at Broadway Gallery.
