BOO-HOORAY presents SUCKADELIC Art Toy Exhibition
Tuesday, January 11 at 6:00pm - January 23 at 9:00pm
Location Boo-Hooray Gallery
521 W 23RD ST
New York, NY
The SUCKADELIC Art Toy Universe
http://boo-hooray.com/suckadelic/
Closing Party: January 23, 2011, 3pm
OPEN EVERYDAY 11pm-6pm
521 W 23RD ST, NEW YORK, NY 10011
The Boo-Hooray Gallery reluctantly announces the first SUCKADELIC retrospective gallery exhibition. Intentionally confusing, misleading, disappointing and really funny, the limited edition parodies of action figures reverberate with a vicious wit and are oddly eyeball-pleasing in the manner of all kinds of toothsome 20th/21st century collage and montage art.

•Robert Jack
January 13 – February 12, Anatomy of the Eye
Josée Bienvenu Gallery is pleased to present “Anatomy of the Eye”, Robert Jack’s fifth solo exhibition in New York. Robert Jack’s work is based on microbiological systems and processes, making visible essential aspects of life that are overlooked due to their imperceptible scale. The exhibition consists of two bodies of work: a group of seven new paintings based on the way the eye perceives reality in different species, and a collection of intimate scale drawings.
