Longtime East Village resident Donna Dennis, part of the architectural sculpture movement of the early 1970s, is the subject of a new solo show at O’Flaherty's, 44 Avenue A at Third Street.
"Houses and Hotels" spotlights a selection of the early sculptures that helped launch her career. Dennis created these pieces while living on St. Mark's Place (they were assembled elsewhere). She now lives in Germantown, N.Y.
Saturday was the opening-night reception... here's a look around (I was told that the roof/ceiling at 44 Avenue A may or may not have been cut open to transfer and install these pieces)...
Dennis also has a new book coming out, which will be launched on April 13 at Karma Bookstore on Third Street, co-hosted by O'Flaherty's.
We also spotted O'Flaherty's gallerist Billy Grant...
... and owner Jamian Juliano-Villani, here with her mom...
Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 2-7 p.m.; or by appointment.
"Houses and Hotels" is up through April 28.
