Marianne Boesky Gallery

Don’t be fooled by the hours of operation, they are closed on Mondays. If you check the Unilocal page and the website for the hours they are open, there is no mention of being closed on Monday. Also when you walk in on a Monday expect to be treated like a homeless person with 4 heads, listen lady I’m not the one that doesn’t have enough business sense to list hours of operation any where… not even on the door. Plus wear some makeup, you look like someone pooped on Zoe DeChanel.

Checked it out today, the last day of the John Waters exhibit, and it was great. The gallery is the perfect size, a little small, but not crowded. All of the exhibits were undeniably John. His sense of humor is as unique as the pictures on display. The best part of the exhibit was Kiddie Flamingos. I only wish the exhibit went on longer.

Stopped in on Saturday to check out the John Waters exhibit. The show was great. True to John Waters form it was full of riffs on pop culture with just the right amount of smut mixed in. My kind of party! My favorite was the screening of the Pink Flamingos table read done by kids. Totally inappropriate and totally fantastic.
The gallery space itself is your typical NYC gallery space. Big, white walls, very little interference from the staff. You’re really able to get in there and investigate and view the pieces without feeling like anyone is watching you. What really sets this place apart tho are the artists they bring in. A cursory glance at their upcoming schedule interests me and previous exhibits include a show featuring the city of Detroit as a creative center (relevant to my interests) and paintings by Hannah Van Bart. I dig it.
If you’re gallery hopping in the area this is one space not to miss.

Just visited the Yashitomo Nara show. Respectable and relaxing gallery. There was no guard, which i was a bit surprised, considered it has a considerable space. The show was amazing. If you enjoy Japanese animation with truly an artistic voice, this is definitely worth going. I especially love the Not Everything but/​Green House/​Orange House installation. These giant fairytale playhouses sitting on the opposite sides of the largest room in the gallery is a multimedia display, each reaching 23 feet height. Quite a sight! Marianne Boesky was one stop on a little gallery hop I did this week, and in my opinion, most interesting and memorable. For a preview,
