ecoartspace NYC opens its first project room at 53 Mercer Street (Soho), with inaugural public art work by Simon Draper and the Habitat for Artist’s Collective. Ongoing programs will include exhibitions, educational events, performances, readings, panels and salon style discussions. Here is a description of the project from the Woodstock Times:
"Simon Draper, the founder of Habitat for Artists, is attempting to turn the notion of artist space upside down and literally inside out. His eco-art spaces will soon make their way to four or five locations in the Village of New Paltz, including the SUNY New Paltz campus, the Dorsky Museum, Rich Gottlieb’s parking lot on lower Main Street and Historic Huguenot Street. The 6-by-8 modular studios resemble very colorful and glorified latrines in their shape and size. But the spirit is anything but waste-producing."
