FASHION PERFORMANCE BY ORLY GENGER

Fans of New York artist Orly Genger, who is celebrated for massive installations of knotted rope as well as her collaborations with jewelry designers, are sure to catch “Big Open Empty,” May 6-June 25, 2011, at Larissa Goldston Gallery in Chelsea. Devoted to large-scale drawings (appropriating comic book imagery), the show has an off-site component as well: an installation and live performance, dubbed Squat, slated for designer Victoria Bartlett’s VPL Store at 5 Mercer Street in SoHo on Monday, May 9, 2011, 7:30 pm. The installation is scored by Ben Brunnemer and is being filmed by artist Peter Sutherland -- and is open to the public by reservation only.
