There’s a new kid in town — sort of. For nearly half a century, the vaunted Marian Goodman Gallery was a stalwart of Midtown, even as bookstores came down and ultra-luxury skyscrapers rose up around them. Ironically, one of those spaces — restaurant, roof deck, members only, you know the drill — was slated to take over the five-floor, cast-iron Grosvenor Building in Tribeca. Marian Goodman Gallery opened there last Thursday instead. The start of a new chapter, for both the gallery and the neighborhood — watch this space. But the departure of Marian Goodman doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of art in Midtown. Julie Schneider writes on the multi-century cross-pollination between prints and textiles, the fruits of which can be seen at the main branch of the New York Public Library. And a little further southwest in Chelsea, John Yau details his experience of interacting with the works of Kibong Rhee so exactingly that it feels like I’m right there beside him, peering through the semi-transparent glass and finding a vision of myself in the world reflected back. Halloween and Election Day, both coming up this week, feel like almost antithetical performances of the self in the world: on the one hand, the joy of pretending to be someone else; on the other, the burden of being a responsible citizen of this country. I’ll leave you with a Virginia Woolf quote that I think encapsulates that oscillation between being grounded and being buoyant that makes up our lives: “I will sit on pavements and drink coffee — I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim — this fine October.” — Lisa Yin Zhang, Associate Editor | |

WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING? | | | Speaking of the old being made new again…. The Vessel is, for some reason, back, this time with suicide prevention nets. In a move that feels faintly personal as someone on the far edge of their mid-twenties, the Whitney Museum is now free for sub-25-year-olds.
