As some readers may remember, I went to the University of Connecticut for my MFA degree, and until last year, I taught an MFA seminar up in Storrs. These days my schedule doesn�t allow taking those beautiful foliage tours up to Storrs each week, so I invited the first- and second-year students for an afternoon tour of galleries in Bushwick. Fully funded, just like back in the day when I went there, UConn offers generous studio space in a bucolic setting, which gives the students time to think and make work without distraction. Every now and then, though, they like to emerge from their capacious studios to see what�s on view at the NYC galleries. We met at 56 Bogart, wound around the neighborhood, and ended at Sardine. Here�s a selection of the work we saw, with links in case readers can�t visit IRL.
The three hour tour (in order) included:
“Friends + Editions,� Theodore:Art, 56 Bogart Street.
