- Draw Gym, a show curated by Brian Belott at two relatively new galleries KnowMoreGames and 247365 got a great review from Roberta Smith. That show closed Friday, but we’re posting the review here anyway, because it deserves every bit of praise it can get.

The future’s not as far off as this interview would lead you to believe (and Koyfman claims it’s not that far off). [Artspace Magazine]
