[155 Avenue C circa 1940 or so]
From the EVG inbox…
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) invites you to a 'zine release party and art show on Saturday (May 3). We will be presenting a history lesson in zine form — the history of our tenement building, No. 155 Avenue C, starting from when it was first built in the 1800s and ending when it was abandoned in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
Also, throughout May, MoRUS will be displaying photos from Brian Rose's book "Time and Space on the Lower East Side," a collection of photographs of the Lower East Side from 1980 and 2010, photographs that look backward and forward, that posit the idea that places are not simply “then and now,” but exist in a continuum of decay and rebirth.
Saturday's event begins at 1:55 p.m when the art show opens, featuring work by: Alyssa Tanchajja, Amy Westpfahl, Brian Rose, Diane Rohem, FLY, Konstantin Sergeyev, Lauren Denitzio, Mac McGill, Maggie Wrigley, Nico Ramirez, Peter Missing, W.D. Bickerknocker, and a collection of flyers, pamphlets and articles from Jerry the Peddler's Squatters & Riots archive.
Music starts at 5 p.m.
