In the News: A new gallery for 86 Walker

LOMEX COMES TO WALKER
The Times has a feature on Alexander Shulan, the 32-year-old owner and curator of Lomex, a gallery dedicated to emerging artists. The first show, which opened last month, features painter Andrea Fourchy. The Times story notes that “Lomex is named after Lower Manhattan Expressway, the failed interstate highway proposed by Robert Moses in the 1960s, that would have bulldozed through SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown and other vibrant neighborhoods.”

SCHREIBER SOURCE FOR ART
Liev Schreiber tells artnet why he loves buying art from the New York Academy of Art student sale.

FAMILY SLASHED NEAR THE BATTERY
The Trib has a police report of a family of three — mother, father and 1-year-old son — being slashed in the face by a 30-year-old man near The Battery in the evening last week. “The victims are Hasidic Jews and police said the slashing is being investigated as a possible bias crime.”

CVS AT CHURCH AND WARREN
We knew this already, but The Real Deal reports that CVS has (finally?) signed the least for 140 Church at Warren. More TK.

  1. Anti-semitic attacks – both domestic and across the globe, especially in Europe – have been rising dramatically over the past few years and the problem is only getting worse. Unfortunately, the media rarely covers any of this. Thank you, Pam, for having the courage to report on this incident in our neighborhood.

  2. 86 Walker now has LOMEX and The Hole which opened last week — both galleries show young, emerging talent. The building has six floors – who will be announced next?
