Paul Kasmin Gallery –  Deborah Kass Opening – 6-8pm

It’s Thursday night, which means one thing: openings! Start your night off early with work by Deborah Kass at Paul Kasmin Gallery. This American artist has been making paintings that edge on Pop and Abstraction for many years, so dust off your art history book from freshman year to prepare yourself for some serious 20th century artwork.

Artists Space – Talk With Bob Nickas and Nic Guagnini – 7-10pm

You may recognize Nickas from VICE magazine and Guagini from the art publication Bomb, so this would be an excellent time to meet the writers in person. It’s not always that you get the chance to see two different perspectives from two very influential publications, so this one should not be missed!

 LeRoy Neiman Gallery –  Metaphysical Interventions – 7 – 10pm

Time to take the train uptown and visit Columbia University’s School of the Arts for an exciting group show. Featuring a wide array of artists from around the world including Brooklyn natives and an artist from Ecuador, this may be the show that could start the dinner conversation of your dreams.
