A week left for 'Before the Clean-Up' at new East Village gallery Smilers

Flyer via @smilersnyc 

You have a week left to catch the latest exhibit at Smilers, a small basement gallery that debuted in Janaury on Sixth Street. 

"Before the Clean-Up" features photography by Nick Waplington and Lizzi Bougatsos as they documented the 1990s NYC underground club scene...
The show, which opened on March 6, runs through next Saturday. Hours: noon to 6 p.m., Thursday to Saturday. The gallery, launched by Mark Beasley and Laura Tighe, is at 431 E. Sixth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue. (The address was also home to William Wegman's studio.) 

Also: Our old EVG friend James Maher has launched a new video series about photography books and shows in conjunction with Miwa Susuda of Dashwood Books and Session Press. His first interview is with Nick Waplington. Watch that here.
