Why it's difficult to leave New York, despite frustrations
Today alone, the street artist Swoon speaks at Parsons, psychoanalyst and writer Adam Phillips speaks at Columbia, short-story master Tobias Wolff reads at 192 Books, artist Dara Friedman lectures as part of the Public Art Fund's series at the New School, artist Rachel Harrison lectures at Hunter College, a panel discussion on writing and the environment will be held at the New School, and the bands No Kids and Dirty Projectors play at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. I won't attend any of this, though, because I'm going instead to the opening of Sergej Jensen's new exhibition at Anton Kern gallery. Keywords for this post: "New York," "bounty."
