Everything You Need To Know This Week On New York's Art Scene

Stan VanDerBeek, “Writings, Drawings and Collages”

James isn't the only VanDerBeek in New York worth talking about! American Contemporary gallery in collaboration with the estate of Stan VanDerBeek is exhibiting a number of the artist's previously undisplayed works. Through such media as collage, writings, drawings, and film, VanDerBeek explored the nature of communication, and reflected on how technology -- in particular, film -- impacts our existence. In his words: "We are on the verge of a new world/new technology/a new art. When artists shall make motion pictures into an emotional experience tool that shall move art and life closer together." Opening Reception: Wednesday, July 18, 6–8pm Dates: July 12 - August 17 Location: American Contemporary, 4 East 2nd Street For more information, go HERE. [Photo via]
