The Avant-Garden

Tribeca Project Space, the McNeill Art Group’s gallery inside the lobby of Artisan Lofts, is debuting a new show tomorrow, Friday, Mar. 12—and if you swing by between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., during the opening party, you can see it without making an appointment. The multi-artist show is called The Garden, as in the Garden of Eden. Here are some pix—some by me, others courtesy McNeill Art Group—just to give a sense of the breadth.

The party looks like it’s worth checking out even if you don’t care about the art: Artist Jason Hackenwerth will do what appears to be a balloon-based performance (seriously, visit his website!), and caterer Mark Fahrer is creating a spread of food with a “Flora, Fauna, and Aqua” theme—presumably there’ll be an apple, or maybe a fig (isn’t that what the forbidden fruit was determined to be?)…. And gallerist Beth McNeill will be wearing a feather-and-leather outfit by one of the artists, Jordan Betten—the phrase “feather-and-leather” makes it sounds like S&M Big Bird, but her description was much cooler.

Tribeca Project Space is at 143 Reade, between Hudson and Greenwich.
