Bryant



First off, today I may head over to Bryant Park (6th Ave and 41st St.) for "Bryant in the Park":

You’re invited to a surreal celebration of summer featuring art.party's own fictional Bryant Park Croquet Society.

Clad in white, fourteen actors spout the nature poems of William Cullen Bryant while playing croquet and sipping tea.

Sultry, stirring, and surprising, Bryant in the Park is a paean to nature in an urban oasis and a not-to-be-missed celebration of summer.

Wear your most sophisticated croquet whites and enjoy a free evening of theater in the park.

Tomorrow, I'm also meeting my friend for bagels and going to the library (hello, free books galore) and to see one of the copies of the Gutenberg Bible.

Also, the young artist Dash Snow tragically died several weeks ago, and there will be a memorial of sorts at Deitch Projects.



Dash Snow’s friends and family have joined together to create an open memorial exhibition for Dash’s community. We have asked friends to bring photographs and video of Dash and works of art made for Dash and works made in his memory. Friends have also brought in special works by Dash from their own collections. A group of previously unseen Polaroids from Dash’s studio are also included.

The memorial project also has an open wall where Dash’s friends and admirers can write, paint or paste artworks and texts in his memory.

The façade of the gallery has been painted over with a giant fire extinguisher version of Dash’s tag, SACER.

Visitors are encouraged to bring flowers to throw into the main gallery where images of Dash and his own works are exhibited.

Dash’s community of friends is invited to bring in additional images and works during the run of the show.
