Seen & Heard: Art by Angry Women

••• The comments are back up, if you haven’t noticed. Two recent posts that you might have wanted to weigh in on—it’s not too late: Spotlight: Roc and Tribeca in the 1990s.

••• Now up at the Untitled gallery on Lispenard: Uprise/Angry Women, “the work of 80 female contemporary artists responding to the current social and political climate in America in light of the recent presidential election. The exhibit will take place from January 17- 28, 2017, opening the week of the presidential inauguration, with several events to take place including an opening reception on January 17 and event on January 22—which marks the 44th anniversary of landmark case Roe vs Wade. The Uprise/Angry Women exhibit is presented in partnership with the ERA Coalition, a political organization that is working to support passage and ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, and a portion of proceeds will benefit their Fund for Women’s Equality.” Below: A work by Danielle Siegelbaum.

••• P. sends word that Caffébene on Canal is looking closer to opening. Kind of bummed to see the brickwork covered up.

••• Also from P. “Also noticed a porta-potty and Jersey barriers have arrived at 100 Franklin.” That’s DDG’s new building along Sixth Ave. from Franklin to White.

••• The 1st Precinct Community Council’s monthly-ish meeting is this upcoming Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the precinct house (Ericsson and Varick).
