You needed to stop saying things are “the new black” like 3 years ago but for photo, Friday is the new Thursday. Two solid yet divergent shows are opening this Friday in Manhattan and Long Island City. That’s tomorrow.

You should go.

1) Kathleen Cullen is pleased to present Redi-Mix, an almost-solo-project of works by James Hyde. Along with Hyde’s paintings a constantly evolving group show will take place. Photographs by Jan Groover and Lucas Blalock; Sculpture by Fabienne Lasserre and Paul Lee; Paintings by Joe Fyfe and Thomas Lindvig and Prints by Curtis Mann, Dieter Roth and Bridget Riley will be on view.

Redi-Mix will be open from Friday, February 26, 2009 through March 31, 2010 at Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts at 526 West 26th Street, Suite 605, New York, NY.
