It begins — Contact 2010

Contact doesn't officially start until Saturday, but that doesn't mean there isn't a glut of openings related to it tonight.

Last chances …

In the final throes of my catch-up — and moments before the Contact onslaught descends — I wanted to point you to a handful of shows in their waning moments that are worth a look, if you haven't already.

‘Graphic Heroes, Magic Monsters; Japanese Prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi’ at the Japan Society, New York

This exhibition at the Japan Society through June 13 was a roaring success when shown in London last Spring, and if it’s not drawing equal crowds in New York that’s because the Japan Society is at least four avenues further East than the crowds are willing to gather. It’s New York’s loss
