Seen & Heard: Meg Webster on Governors Island

MEG WEBSTER AT GOVS ISLAND THIS WEEKEND
Governors Island will host shows of both Meg Webster and Onyedika Chuke starting tomorrow, June 12, and running through October 31 at the Arts Center at Governors Island. Webster’s site-specific installations include video, sculpture and a living moss mound that will be cultivated by GrowNYC. Chuke has an ongoing project that brings together a disquieting collection of sculptures, text and images in the lower gallery of the arts center.

ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE STILL ON TRACK

Variety had the story.
