A BIT OF TRIBECA ON STATEN ISLAND
I didn’t realize that when Langdon Florist left Reade Street for Clove Road on Staten Island, they renamed the business “Langdon of Tribeca.” The business closed here in 2018 after 70 years on the block. It had different owners over the decades, and the most recent, Joe Rizzo, answered a great Spotlight feature here in 2015.

COLOR AS SPACE AT API
Art Projects International, at 434 Greenwich, has a new group show up called Color as Space through June 28. It features works by Bahar Behbahani, Mariano Ferrante, Seokmin Ko, Il Lee, Soo Im Lee, Filipe Rocha da Silva, Gwenn Thomas, Richard Tsao, and others. The exhibition foregrounds color and brings attention to how contemporary artists use color, beyond any synesthetic tendencies, to define concept, dimension and territory.
