Contributed by Sharon Butler / It’s February, we’re two weeks into the first hundred days, and your head, like mine, may be spinning. Take your mind off the world for a minute. Be grateful for the good things in your life, maybe figure out how to help where help is needed. A little light could emerge from the February shows. “La Banda” gets back together at Tappeto Volante Projects. Platform Project Space reopens from their winter break with a big group show called “New Life,” curated by Alexi Worth and Danica Lundy. Rumor is that it involves paintings of babies. Maybe it’s time to see a show at Halsey McKay Gallery HMGP in Greenpoint, where Timothy Bergstrom’s work is on view. Then let’s all go buy a canister of pepper spray and sign up for a self-defense class.
