“The Patriot", a huge exhibition commemorating the moving of locations for O'Flaherty's on the Lower East Side. This show Includes artists using all mediums and featuring artists of all abilities. Rogue and pandemonium in spirit and sensibility with the hanging reflecting a mood of rebellion. This show harks back to times past when the New York art world was less structured and more open. Covered by Hyperallergic, Cultured Mag, New York Times and Time Out. An irreverent remembrance of times past was the mood. July 14-August 10 2022.
"For its summer 2022 show, flippantly titled “The Patriot,” the gallery burnished its lack of pretense.
Perhaps the bombshell art movement we’ve all been waiting for will crawl out of its clutter and turn the exhibition into 2022’s equivalent of the “Ninth Street Show.”(what it is and) what's actually desired —is a new model for art’s circulation and display, one less strangled by notions of business". - Jerry Saltz
