I stopped by the 80WSE Gallery at NYU on Thursday, November 13, to experience Recycling Atlantis, a live exhibition in celebration of the artist, philosopher and educator Jack Smith. I arrived to find quite an exciting scene, and was glad I made the effort to come out on a rainy evening to be there. My photos really don’t do it justice. I was impressed by the effort and creativity that Uzi Parnes, Carmelita Tropicana, and Ela Troyano put into this multi-media production. Afterwards, I took another look at the 80SWE Broadway Windows to see Uzi Parnes’ compelling photography exhibit called Basra on First Avenue. The giant photos were taken in Jack Smith’s last apartment.
