Then and Now and Forever at BravinLee programsBOO RITSONClosing Saturday May 24 BravinLee programs is very pleased to present “Then and Now and Forever,” new work by Boo Ritson. Opening reception is 6-8 pm, Friday April 18th, through Saturday, May 17th, 2008. Though ostensibly photographic, Boo Ritson’s work is essentially painting.

This is the artist's third solo exhibition at the gallery. Estrada-Vega's sculptural paintings incorporate a variety of media and a unique process of assemblage. Small canvas-covered blocks, each magnetized to hold its place within the larger composition, are painted highly saturated colors, the palette inspired by the artist's Mexican heritage. Seemingly monochromatic ... ...more Enteras Partes de Now and Then at Alexander and BoninEUGENIO DITTBORNClosing Saturday May 17 Enteras Partes de Now and Then, an exhibition of 8 recent airmail paintings by Eugenio Dittborn, will open at Alexander and Bonin on April 12th. For the first time since 1983, Dittborn’s paintings depart from the orthogonal regularity of four right angles and experiment with irregular supports and formats, creating perimeters of numerous vertical, horizontal, and sometimes diagonal sides. His materials of dye, embroidery, and photo silkscreen, consistent since the 1980s, achieve an altered res... ...more Post Party at Josee Bienvenu GalleryKEN SOLOMONClosing Saturday May 17 Josée Bienvenu gallery is pleased to present Post Party, Ken Solomon’s second one-person exhibition. Post Party explores the imagery and iconography of the U.S. postal system. Whether it is building a public mailbox from sent parcels, or falsifying postage stamps, making a teepee-sized envelope or a giant rubberstamp of a blank stamp, Ken Solomon erects monuments to a soon-to-be extinct mode of communication. The works are a meshing of mathematics and whimsy. The process is intensive, ... ...more Prospero's Monsters at James Cohan GalleryYINKA SHONIBARE MBEClosing Saturday May 17 James Cohan Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Yinka Shonibare, MBE. Shonibare's three-part installation of sculpture and photography revisits the collision between irrational mysticism and logical reason that occurred in society during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment period. The artist's work often concerns itself with the history of colonization and its ensuing struggles. Here, the artist intimates that western democracy's current conquests may similarly invoke ph... ...more Horizons at Yossi Milo GallerySZE TSUNG LEONGClosing Saturday May 17 Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of color photographs by Sze Tsung Leong from the series Horizons.

Chelsea Gallery District
Chelsea is the center of the contemporary art market in New York and possibly the world. Other areas in New York, such as Williamsburg in Brooklyn, have built strong centers of artists and galleries, but the most successful galleries tend to eventually gravitate to the large audience that can be reached in Chelsea (e.g. Bellwether, Winkleman Gallery, Schroeder Romero, Foxy Production, Priska C. Juschka Fine Art, and Monya Rowe, all of which have moved from Williamsburg to Chelsea).The Chelsea Gallery District is roughly confined by 29th street in the North, 13th street in the South, 11th Avenue in the West, and 7th Avenue in the East.
The three blocks with the highest concentration of well known galleries are 22nd, 24th, and 25th streets between 10th and 11th Avenue.
