Along with their group exhibition of artists that explore aspects of skin, sexuality, and all things corporeal, there will be a viewing of Pedro Almodóvar’s La piel que habito (The Skin I Live In), a film heralded as “a horror story without screams or frights.” DJ sets, drinks and general revelry will round out the bacchanal event! If you didn’t make it to the opening of this special pop-up show, curated by Bushwick artist , don’t fret, because you’ll have the entire rest of the week and weekend, culminating in a closing reception on Sunday from 3-6PM. The show features dozens of artists from all over, mostly from Bushwick. As the name would suggest, there is a uniquely familial aspect to the show, where the works, beautifully curated seem to fit almost effortlessly in sync while still retaining their unique characteristics. Spurred by incredible interest to Grace Exhibition’s Space “Contoversy!! Putting Private Lives into Performance Art” has added another performance to their program, featuring the French/Brazilian artist Tania Alice. After a traumatic break-up, the artist embarked on an epic journey where she reached out to strangers across social media to find out what makes them happy. In this special Sunday performance, the artist will preform live, as well as screen the videos from the three-month long process. Each year Printed Matter hosts their annual Art Book Fair, where hundreds of art book publishers from the well established (think Phaidon and Taschen) to the independent and DIY sit elbow to elbow throughout the PS1 complex.
