Air Castle Gallery: Chor Boogie - Boogie Birds; Anna Eva, Charles Papillo.
Comment by AB: The talented and prolific Chor Boogie headlines here at what seems to be the christening of yet another enhancement to the Ess Eff artscape, Air Castle Gallery. Chor, globally known for his large scale urban murals, here presents diminutive works, some downright tiny. Prices range $100-$200, certainly reasonable, but I bet if he slashes 'em even lower (especially on the teensie ones), he'll sell exponentially more... and in so doing will surely delight his multitudinous fans.

Queens Nails Projects: Bivouac!
Artists: Sean Howe, Chris Lyerly, John McCoy, Joe Melamed, Spencer O'Karma, Eli Pearl, Mark Roberts, Charlene Tan Catherine, U-Thasoonthorn. Curated by Peter Belkin
Comment by AB: "An improvisation on the ideas of makeshift structures, absurd encampments and shelter... a world where the inner and outer collide. Through colorful fabric installations, sound and light, this exhibition highlights our abilities for spatial reasoning and re-structuring."

Reflective mylar blue light room in the back (kinda like it).

Painted Bird: Paul Wingert - 100 Photos.
Comment by AB: The show's called 100 Photos. I count only 8. The event also celebrates Painted Bird's move from Guerrero to Valencia Streets. Onward and uptown!
How to make 100 photos look like 8 by Paul Wingert (superb sleight of hand).
