Ok but genuinely — I have walked so many blocks of West 20-somethings in questionable shoes just to stand in a big white room and feel something. These are the galleries I keep coming back to, the ones where I linger too long by the front desk pretending to read the press release. Bring a tote bag, bring an open mind, maybe bring snacks because these shows deserve time 😉
