The fantastical nature of this exhibition explores our cosmic connection to the universe. The series of drawings will continue like an infinite vine through the walls, columns and floors of the gallery space in a transformational installation that will change each week. During open hours the artist will be creating drawings to share her art process with visitors. Cristina Salas was born in Quito, Ecuador and has lived in many different countries such as Italy, France, Spain and Mexico. She moved to the United States in 2016 to pursue her master degree in architecture from Louisiana State University. After finishing her master degree she came to New York to work for Dameron Architecture where she collaborated in creating mosaic art installations like The Journey of the Star Nosed Mole in Carroll Hall, an event space in Brooklyn. She has also made many mosaic art installations in Quito, Ecuador for breweries and private residences. Her hiking trips and scientific readings inspire her to create intuitive art installations about fantastical stories of nature.   less

Opening Reception | Bobby Grossman: Low Fidelity


A selection of photographs by Bobby Grossman that documents and sheds new light on icons of New York's more punk-rock scene and the culture that bred other trailblazing artists and musicians of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. HA/HA is located at 250 Bowery. Grossman arrived in New York in 1976 after receiving a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he studied alongside friends Chris Frantz and David Byrne of Talking Heads. His first job was assisting Richard Bernstein, the artist responsible for the covers of Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. At Bernstein's studio in the legendary Chelsea Hotel, Grossman found himself at ground zero in the early days of punk and the downtown scene. Taking photographs of friends and newfound acquaintances--including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Debbie Harry, the Ramones, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and the milieu around Andy Warhol's Factory--Grossman became a regular fixture at CBGB, the Mudd Club, and other downtown haunts. less
