Peter Blum in Soho did not disappoint on Wednesday when "David Reed: Works on Paper" opened. I wrote a few pages of thoughts on this show, but wont bore/offend you with them here (perhaps an Artcards blog is in the works...). Suffice it to say that the show is of high quality and content for further thought and I suggest stopping by.

This week is solid -- neither the beginning of the season, nor the end, but still humming, which is cause for excitement. Thursday is busiest and I plan to be out Tuesday through Friday (the weekend doesn't look too hot to me, but check the full listings below in case something looks interesting to you).
