Wake up! The Art Season Begins

The NYC galleries will start re-opening over the next two weeks, so rather than the usual recommendations, the Two-percent wanted to give you a heads-up of the exhibitions they are most anticipating.

Disclaimer: One of the reasons they see 200+ exhibitions every month is because the art world is extremely unpredictable.  Therefore these are NOT "recommendations" (great artists often have bad shows), but rather the advertised shows that the Two-percent is most anxious to find out IF they're great.

I'm curious about his high-tech work in the Lower East Side, which apparently includes a device that scans anything in your pocket and incorporates it into the piece.  Opens 9/16
