ABC NO RIO Ides of March - Art Review (beta)

James Kalm put on his “documentarian” hat and invites viewers to explore one of the last vestiges of a disappearing era. This is the last time to view this historic building before it’s demolished to make way for the new facility. ABC No Rio was founded in 1980 by the artist’s group COLAB as a reaction to the exclusionary gallery scene of Soho, and the pressures created by neighborhood gentrification. It became a landmark of the East Village arts community and has continued its grassroots community outreach to the present. Featuring interviews with James Trimarco, Liz, and Stuart Nicholson. Shit TV were one of the art collaborations to be exhibited in the Ides of March Show.
