show in the city ya'll

The Swiss Institute is having a very temporary show called "Dark Fair" this weekend in the city. It looks awesome! A lot of cool blacklight weird art prints by contemporary illustrators/comic book artists will be showing there, plus other stuff. Here's the press release:

Swiss Institute [SI]
495 Broadway 3rd Floor
New York NY 10012
Tel 212.925.2035
Fax 212.925.2040
info@swissinstitute.net

Directions: Broadway between Broome and Spring Street

Presented by the Milwaukee International
Opening, March 28, 6 PM - 12 AM

This subversive and experimental miniature art fair will take place without the use of natural or electric light. An international selection of galleries and artists will display work custom to these conditions, using candlelight, flashlights, oil lamps, work that glows in the dark, light sculpture, battery powered film and video, and unplugged performances. In this cavernous underworld of exchange, visitors will experience art in completely new ways: featuring shadowy bar booths, dimly lit VIP chill-out zones, peddle-powered film projectors and gramophone DJ's.

In addition to custom booths there will be space available for individual artist projects, screenings, and performances including an indoor sculpture garden.
