Long Island City Night Tonight!
Ever since Deitch Projects touched down in Queens two years ago, Long Island City has been one of the hottest art annexes in New York, evident by the abundance of programming today. Ride the train to Queens Plaza station where MTA Arts for Transit staff will be on hand to discuss Ellen Harvey’s sky-filled 2005 mural, Look Up, Not Down from 5 to 7pm. LIC Artists, who have been holding Open Studios exhibitions for more than 20 years, will launch their Armory Fest with a three-venue exhibition at the Clocktower Building, the Holiday Inn Manhattan View and the Space Realty Group. Other openings will take place at AES Gallery, Dean Project, climate/gallery and Dutch Kills Gallery. Elsewhere, P.S.1 hosts three ongoing exhibtions—Between Spaces, 1969 and 100 Years—and the Noguchi Museum will have its long-running Noguchi ReINstalled on display. Be sure to save room for the third annual showing of MoFA (aka the Museum of Fake Art), sponsored by LIC arts nonprofit The Space. The Chelsea satirists are offering “a unique opportunity to dress up and fake interest vis-à-vis the complex issues facing international Contemporary Art and simulate a direct involvement in the Curatorial and Exhibition process.” Only a square realist would miss it.
