Ellen Berkenblit, 261 Bowery
Walking down the Bowery at sunset yesterday, when we came upon a mural of a woman and her small red cat in some kind of dialogue, a work by Ellen Berkenblit painted on a steel roller shutter, we knew we had arrived. For “After Hours 2: Murals on the Bowery,” the collaboration between Art Production Fund and the New Museum for the latter’s Ideas City Festival, 15 artists have been commissioned to paint murals on storefront shutters along the Bowery. The results are inspiring. The murals were unveiled last night and will be on view through September 29. (more…)

It must be spring (finally), because hearts are heating up in the New York City art community, with this week’s Art World Missed Connections bringing us a whopping six items, all involving major museums. From the creepy guy who fell for a fast-asleep Tilda Swinton at the Museum of Modern Art, to the fellow who openly objectifies the woman he saw at the Metropolitan Museum, dubbing her “the most beautiful thing in the entire place,” there’s plenty to parse this week, so we’ll start with the celebrity performance artist.

As part of the New Museum’s exhibition “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and More Star,” the city’s payphones have been rigged to recite geo-located time capsule narratives about the surrounding neighborhoods when callers dial the toll free number 1-855-FOR-1993 from any payphone in Manhattan. The project, titled “Recalling 1993,” boasts more than four hours of recorded material and includes contributions from Brian Lehrer, Walter Robinson, Lee Ronaldo, Doug E. Doug, Robin Byrd, and James St. James. (more…)

The weather has again cooled and the art world is settling in for the winter. We recommend a film noir-tinged exhibition in Chelsea to reflect the current starkness of the city, a marathon reading of Gertrude Stein’s modernist and present participle-heavy “The Making of Americans” in Greenpoint, an ambitious Arthurian gallery-opera on the Lower East Side, a dialogue between two intrepid artists who examine violence and sex on (appropriately) the Bowery, a subterranean art show that crawls beneath Long Island City with performance and sculptures, and then see what’s “on the radar.” So head out and find a good bar for a post-art hot toddy. See you on the streets!

Proving that love doesn’t take holidays, this week’s Art World Missed Connections bring us three items, each from a different Manhattan museum — though none is as rich as last week’s epic poem. Two involve overlong exchanges of glances — at the New Museum and MoMA — and the third concerns a Metropolitan Museum visitor who was asked to take a picture by a woman who planned to paint it. Let’s start with them. (more…)

The New Museum just posted a video (embedded below) on Facebook in which three members of its security staff are seen doing the robot, zombie, and assorted popping-and-locking moves in the institution’s ground-floor lobby after hours. (more…)

The Nor’easter that brought a hot mess of wet snow to the New York area last night affirms that winter is here, regardless of the fact that the city is still struggling to get on its feet after Hurricane Sandy. The New Museum is stepping up to make the transition easier and announced this morning that it will be holding a winder coat drive to contribute to relief efforts. (more…)

After months of waiting and watching the heated presidential campaign unfold, it’s finally Election Day! The New Museum (and six other museums around the country) has teamed up with artist Jonathan Horowitz to house “Your Land/My Land ’12,” an exhibition inspired by his 2008 work of the same name focused on the partisan nature of American elections. While the museum won’t be open to let viewers watch as the results come in tonight, that doesn’t mean they can’t interact with the piece while attending one of the other arty election parties in town.

In a short but very to-the-point email with the subject line “New Museum Alert: We Are Closed,” the Lower East Side contemporary art museum announced that, because the power is out in all of Lower Manhattan due to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, it will remain closed until the lights come back on.
