Gallery Week is awesome.  However (and unfortunately) many galleries are not participating in the event and will therefore likely be closed as usual on Sunday & Monday.  Most shows on my "Top Five" are not participating including the Monet show.

Since this is the very first Gallery Week ever, it's hard to know what the "non participating galleries" will be doing.  So in the event that they are closed and you still want to go on Monday... here's a quick "Gallery Week Participants Top Five".  Hopefully next year everyone will jump on board. 

Otto Piene @ Sperone Westwater Gallery
415 W 13th St - Fl 2
Walk to the back for a great low-tech light show with awesome results.

Uta Barth @ Tanya Bonakdar Gallery
521 W 21st St
A great photography show - currently my pick for "best photography"

T.J. Wilcox @ Metro Pictures Gallery
519 W 21st St
Great and entertaining mini-documentaries - my current pick for  "best film".

Darren Almond @ Matthew Marks Gallery
523 W 24th St - Fl 2
Odd & dark multi-screen video projections - my current pick for "best installation"

Twenty Five @ Luhring Augustine Gallery
