A sighting and two openings

I had my third Kara Walker sighting about a week and a half ago. I went to check out a show at the gallery that represents her, and she was there checking out the show with a friend. Last time, I spotted her waiting in line at the Paula Cooper Gallery.

Tonight she has two concurrent show openings. One in the Chelsea Gallery District at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. which will be drawings, and the other at Lehmann Maupin's Lower East Side location which will be videos. The exhibitions are titled, "Dust Jackets for the Niggerati-and Supporting Dissertations, Drawings submitted ruefully by Dr. Kara E. Walker" and "Fall Frum Grace, Miss Pipi's Blue Tale," respectively. Her titles are works in themselves, something to think over carefully.

I plan to go see the drawings tonight, that way I can cruise around and pop into other openings as well. Looking forward to another mini gallery run.
