This week Friday has the most highlights, including a duration performance by Man Bartlett, who will traverse Manhattan in a Spiral-Jetty-like pattern.
 
Last week, the party continued at Ramiken Crucible with a promising show of paintings by Nolan Hendrickson. Nolan's paintings have a unique surface/quality that is worth checking out, and, if you haven't seen it already, the gallery space alone is worth the trip.

An Artcards blog is in the works -- we need a name for it -- reply to this email and let me know what you think!
