I'm going to New York tomorrow morning. I have several things to do there, one of them is to attend the opening of a group show called "Commune" at Black & White Gallery. I have a couple pieces in the show, it looks like it is going to be really cool. Here is the press release info.

May 21 - June 27, 2009
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 21, 2009 , 6-8pm
Black & White Gallery

BLACK & WHITE GALLERY is pleased to host COMMUNE – group exhibition organized by the independent curator and critic Dominique Nahas.

COMMUNE brings together twenty four nationally and internationally recognized artists whose diverse and surprising works examine networks of forces brought to bear by exchange through the social bond, be it through family, fellowship of friends, lovers, school affiliations, secular and religious organizations, class structures, collectives, and nations

NORIKO AMBE, ERIK BENSON, BRIAN BRESS, OSVALDO BUDET, CAROLINA CAYCEDO, JARED CLARK, BLANE DE ST. CROIX, OANA FARCAS, CAOIMHGHIM O FRAITHILE, CHARLEY FRIEDMAN, CHITRA GANESH, ODED HIRSCH, HIDENORI ISHII, STEVE KEISTER, JULIA KUNIN, OLIVER LUTZ, JULIAN MONTAGUE, MAURIZIO PELLEGRIN, JOHN POWERS, MICHAEL REES, PETER ROSTOVSKY, JULIANNE SWARTZ, JACQUES LOUIS VIDAL, ROBERTO VISANI

I’ve established deep personal and professional bonds with each artist in COMMUNE. They are my friends. Organizing the summer show COMMUNE at Black & White Gallery for me has been akin to the creating of a fantasy island. On this island distinct artworks co-exist in mutuality, as visions of possibilities and impossibilities are marooned, fated to converse, to sing and laugh together, endlessly, communally.
