I was over at Spot Draves opening last night, which was great (wish I was there when the hallway was darker) and ran into Phillip Torrone of Make Magazine, who I have spoken with before.

Was good to see Spot again, and I think this exhibition space, which I often pass, has potential (wish the New York Times would come over and see it at night).

Speaking to Phillip was a great opportunity as I also found out a bit about what kind of person reads Make Magazine and I got to invite Phillip Torrone to Amy Crehore’s Opening at Ad-Hoc-Art on July 25th.

Here’s a video I made last night at Spot’s opening.

I went to the following openings tonight

“Chelsea Summer Dreaming” at Robert Steele Gallery W 25 street, 511

“Free Rein” Montclair State University Summer Show at Amos Eno Gallery
W 25 street, 530, floor 6, 6-9pm

There were a couple of others I decided to pass on - and while I saw some things that I liked at the first gallery, I walked in and out within a minute from “Free Rein”.

Need to feel I can relate to the work to even want to look at it - if it doesn’t get my interest - I don’t try to find something to like and then force myself to look at the work, as some do, I just move on. 

Either it moves me or it doesn’t.
