• Bob Thompson, 1937-1966, Meteor In A Black Hat at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, (catalog available featuring a contribution by Stanley Crouch) 24 West 57th St. 2-5pm
• Martinez Gallery is pleased to present SCHOOL ZONE, a reconsideration of the roles played by art and educational institutions, and of longstanding assumptions about the ways the two interact. SCHOOL ZONE is an intervention into a New York City public high school classroom,an open process in which artists are given leeway to bring their ownideas and concepts into a space normally reserved only for traditional accoutrements and systems of organization.
• Like previousprojects organized by Martinez Gallery, this intervention will beundertaken by graffiti artists, and as such aims to challenge evenfurther the seemingly sacred character ascribed to art and toeducation, which normally only meet in the most academic realms of eachfield. SCHOOL ZONE is not, however, a case of simply opening the chalkboard to graffiti,that is to say underground or taboo art, nor is it glorifieddecoration; rather, it is an opportunity to artists, students andteachers alike to question the underlying exclusions implicit in beingboth a graffiti artists and, frankly, an urban public school student at Urban Academy [Julia Richmond High School] 317 East 67th, Street, Room 222, NYC 10021http://www.martinezgallery.com Saturdays Noon - 6 Mon-Fri by appt
