After last week’s blockbuster openings, you may be exhausted, but this week is no sleeper. The benefits include Kanye West at MoMA, Moby at the Brooklyn Museum, galas in Queens at Noguchi and the Queens Museum, and Art Rocks at the Bowery Hotel. Over the weekend, expect to start hearing buzz about the Greater LA show at a massive temporary space downtown. The NY Photo Festival in DUMBO features an Artlog-hosted panel on Photography and Social Change, The Frick hosts a free Rembrandt night, and Rhizome & AOL bring techies and artists together for collaborations at the New Museum. See below for highlights from this week’s gallery openings, check our full calendar, and more importantly go see some art!
