When Nellie, one of Agora Gallery’s friendly and approachable gallery assistants, was on her way to work last Friday, she was surprised to see that to get to work she had to pass a protest taking place en route,in front of the Chelsea Community Center between 9th and 10th Avenue on W25th Street – which, as many of you know, is near the gallery.
Getting closer, she found that it was a protest made up largely of artists, carrying signs that read things like ‘Art is Power’ and ‘Artists are the heart of New York’, together with comments about New York’s mayor, Mayor Bloomberg.
Here is this past week’s collection of stories from the international art world. Remember that all comments on the articles are welcome on the blog – if you have a strong opinion on whether art galleries should have age limits, or know other ordinary objects that can make fun photographs, let us know!
