This Weekend: ABCyz 2009 and The Real World

!Friday Night @ Silvershed, 119 West 25th St., PH, NYCABCyz 2009 is a collaborative art exhibition of NYC-based contemporary art collectives, curatorial groups and art publishers, each of which was formed in the last four years. A group show of group shows, ABCyz is a salon-style exhibition of independent out-of-pocket exhibitions, recession-style creative processes and guerilla promotions. MORE HERE.

My project, Daily Operation, presents Yours, P. Shrinermacher for ABCyz 2009... In the late 80s and early 90s, the artist Lance Rutledge sent anonymous letters, paintings, and art objects to various NY gallerists. Yours, P. Shrinermacher centers around the works that Rutledge sent to dealers Pat Hearn and Colin de Land under the P. Shrinermacher moniker. There will also be a opening night performance by Erik den Breejen.

other groups of note...
(the deli storeroom) presents Use Your Illusion II and features the work of Patrick Brennan, Sherri Caudell Brennan, Ned Colclough, Jesse Hamerman, and J.D. Walsh. HKJB features Kris Chatterson.
