I'm ok with walking, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I plan to try and walk a good chunk of Manhattan if I can. Not sure if I'm biting off more than I can chew but then I am always ambitious.

I have had a more in-depth look at museums and galleries so I wanted to come and tell you what I've found so far.

Many galleries are closed during the dates I will be there at. Others don't really have such interesting shows at that time. I definitely want to walk around Soho and the Lower East Side and check out a few, even just randomly. A friend of mine told me that it's a great area to explore for galleries. I also noticed many galleries in the Chelsea area. Hmmm. I have a rather extensive list, even minus the closed less interesting ones.

A few I might like to see:

Gagosian Gallery (there are 3 locations just in New York!) - particularly the Richard Prince show
Bitforms Gallery - I think it will be closed but I'd like to go and check. It has some amazing interactive art shows.
Andrea Rosen Gallery
Marian Goodman Gallery
English Kills Art Gallery
Cheim & Read Gallery
Leo Koenig Inc.
Paul Kasmin Gallery - current show is called 'Naked!'
Zach Feuer Gallery

P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center - out of all the 'museum' venues I saw, this looked the most interesting right now because it has all sorts of offbeat shows on -this is in Long Island.
New Museum - not sure about the shows, but I just want to see it. I am crazy about emerging art.
MoMA - there is a show on 'The Erotic Object', and an interesting performance/installation by a Slovakian artist. Then there is of course the actual Museum Collection. This is kind of a must see, though I don't have to do it now.

Some other options:

Whitney Museum of American Art - there are some good shows on, Claes Oldenburg, Edward Hopper.
Brooklyn Museum - show by Yinka Shonibare, and several other interesting shows
Performance Space 122 - there is an interesting Performance/Play going on during August there, might be fun!

Ok, after running off all this, I hope some of you might be interested in joining me for a little cultural adventure. I was thinking we could choose a date (19th, 20th, not the 21st because of the plans for that evening to watch quadro2000's gig, 22nd or 23rd) and do this in the afternoon, and maybe follow it with drinks or dinner somewhere fun.

Any takers? Let me know

However much we give our thoughts the will To be our soul and gesture it abroad, Our hearts are incommunicable still. In what we show ourselves we are ignored. The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged By any skill of thought or trick of seeming. Unto our very selves we are abridged When we would utter to our thought our being. We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams, And each to each other dreams of others' dreams. Fernando Pessoa, 1918
