Weekend art attack

Those in the NYC area: here's two shows you shouldn't miss this weekend! The first one, Fuck Friends, is opening tomorrow night down on Canal St, and from the list of awesome artists in the show with Leo, I'd say get there early!


Asia Song Society is proud to present new work by NY-based artist Leo Fitzpatrick. FUCK FRIENDS features a wide sampling of the artist’s solo practice including works on paper, paintings, and video. In addition, Fitzpatrick will exhibit nearly 20 separate collaborations with his peers and close friends.

The exhibition will be accompanied by full-color catalogue with text by Nate Lowman and published by O.H.W.O.W.

Featured collaborators:
Rita Ackermann, Lizzi Bougatsos, Joe Bradley, Dan Colen, Tony Cox, Brian DeGraw, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Terence Koh, Andrew Kuo, Hanna Liden, Nate Lowman, Adam McEwen, Neckface, Agathe Snow, Dash Snow, Spencer Sweeney, Kon Trubkovich, and Fuck this Life





On Saturday, I hope to make it uptown to see Barbara Kruger's solo exhibit as it will come down after that day. Pre-digital 1980-1992 will feature Kruger’s powerful hand-made compositions of pervasive photography and text. Her work is derived from her experience as an editorial designer, but the meanings behind her pieces act more as an insight into her perception of those distorted realities. You can find more info here.

hey sweet

I saw it about two months back, but a friend of mine said they still had it a month ago when she was in L.A

I found this one on eBay and the girl had a few of them so you could try there.

Awesome!

It's more what i would call a graphite or charcoal colour....like a washed out black look.

I guess it throws a little blue but not really.

the sequins are not super shiny, they have a nice dull finish but it still sparkles.

it's based on a soft mesh fabric and was really comfortable to wear. the sleeves push up really nicely.

It's pretty true to size, i'm really broad in the back and the large was perfect.

the shoulders are nice and strong....a little balmain-sh.

Hope this helps, good luck!
