Description

Ronald Feldman Fine Arts will exhibit Notes and Itineraries by Kim Levin, a prominent New York art critic and curator. As a regular contributor to The Village Voice, Levin was responsible for compiling and evaluating its weekly art listings for more than twenty years. Devising a system to organize the information about hundreds of ever-changing exhibitions, Levin used available scavenged gallery promotional material to write down her lists for gallery visits and her on-site observations, coding her reactions as she progressed. Encouraged to save these documents, Levin accumulated a prodigious archive directly connected to the very subject of her weekly investigations – a multi-layered survey of the vibrant New York art scene into the twenty-first century.
