Clayton Patterson and everyone who made this groundbreaking film possible. $10 advanced tickets or $15 at the door. Since 1979 Clayton Patterson has dedicated his life to documenting the final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City's Lower East Side, a neighborhood famed for art, music and revolutionary minds. Traversing the outside edge he's recorded a dark and colorful society, from drag to hardcore, heroin, homelessness, political chaos and ultimately gentrification. His odyssey from voyeur to provocateur reveals that it can take losing everything you love to find your own significance. For more info please visit:

Eugene Von Bruenchenhein's work will be included in a new group exhibition titled
After Nature at the
New Museum from July 17th - September 21, 2008. Part dystopian fantasy, part ethnographic museum of a lost civilization that eerily resembles our own, "After Nature" brings together artists and artworks that possess a strange, prophetic intensity. Departing from the fictional documentaries of filmmaker Werner Herzog, the exhibition is an anthology of visions and epiphanies-a hallucinated panorama of a world on the verge of disappearance.
Jeremy Blake's Winchester Series has been included in a spectacular show titled
That Was Then... This Is Now currently on view at
P.S.1. This group exhibition is inspired by the artistic and socio-political climate of the late 1960s, and features artists united by the desire to mobilize art as a means of change.
